Abstract
The invention is directed to a steam iron ( ) equippped with an electrically heatable soleplate ( ) and having a residual heat warning device ( ) which operates preferably independently of the line voltage and issues a flashing warning signal via a light emitting diode ( ) when the temperature of the soleplate ( ) exceeds a threshold temperature of about 60° C. Due to a capacitor which is chargeable during operation of the iron, a preferred warning system is operable also when the iron is disconnected from the supply after use.
