If A European lives in Europe then with a 220 volt you can't compare it to America.
Wearing shoes while ironing in any 220volt country is a must for that reason.

Have you ever worked on cars and got a jolt from a spark plug wire? That can be 30-100k volts. I laugh at 220.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

As long as we are discussing this, what did you do to stop the shaking? 
Did you have ease of hand control or someone had to kick your hand away?
I don't remember how exactly it happened but no one touched me.

I do (the electric stove by the way is running on 400V not regular european 220V)

I wasn't wearing shoes.
I figured it out right after i got the shock

I did close the electric before i started to work on it.

But then i touched the top in order to turn on the light and that's when i got the shock.

I then figured by putting the screwdriver on the top metal that the top metal had open electricity.

Are you saying that the metal on your vent hood/light has live electricity on it? If so, you obviously need to check the wiring in there. And shut off that breaker in the meantime so it doesn't happen again.
