The present application relates to an ironing appliance comprising a soleplate (10), a heating element (20) for heating the soleplate (20), a controller (30) for controlling the heating power of the heating element (20), a temperature sensor (40) for sensing a temperature of the soleplate (10). The controller (30) is adapted to determine a temperature gradient of the soleplate (10) as a rate of change of the temperature of the soleplate over time, and a temperature difference between the temperature of the soleplate (10) and a first predetermined temperature (T1). The controller (30) is adapted to control the heating power of the heating element (20) based on the temperature gradient and the temperature difference. This solution allows that the soleplate can be heated in a way that minimises overshoot and undershoot of temperature. |
