Contact System
The Contact System function discon-
nects the appliance when its handle
is not being touched. This system
increases safety and energy saving.
The function will be deactivated

plugging in your appliance, while it
heats up and reaches the selected
operating temperature.
If the handle is not touched for 1
minute, the Contact System pilot
light will start to flash on and off,
indicating that the appliance is about
to switch off.
If you touch the handle again, the
appliance will switch on and heat up
again, and the Contact System pilot
light will cease to flash on and off
and will be continuously lit up.
