Fancy Iron

I bought a high class Rowenta Iron today, made in Germany by a company founded in 1884. That's after my German forebears set sail for the US so I can't fantasize some direct ancestor ever had a hand manufacturing one of these fine objects.

A long green piece of paper in the packaging informs me, in English and fifteen other Euorpean languages that my "new Rowenta iron ... has been water tested by our factory. It is, therefore, normal for condensation to appear on the inside of the water tank." Guess they got tired of fielding that question.

What is interesting about the fifteen translations is that three -- Danish, Polish, and Russian -- do not have the word "Rowenta" in them, while all the rest do. Why?

Why also does Rowenta feel it necessary to offer the follwing helpful tip

"Warning:
Never iron clothes while they are being worn."

Good to know.
