My Black and Decker Steam Advantage iron heats up almost to the temperature setting, then goes direct to Auto Off and cools down. After it went to Auto Off, I moved the dial to the off position, left it plugged in, and returned to find the handle/area near the base warm, even though the iron was turned off.
