– the circuit breaker has been
"tripped".
Do not damage, remove or bypass
~
the safety components or control
elements of the appliance.
Only operate the rotary iron when all
~

that it is impossible to touch an
electrical component or moving part.
This equipment has not been
~

plate when it is heated.
This is a fire hazard. Hang laundry on
