摘要

A steam generating appliance (1) comprises a water boiler (28) comprising a water inlet, an electrically heated evaporation chamber and a steam outlet (36). A pump (26) is arranged to deliver water to the inlet of the boiler (28) on demand. A steam delivery nozzle (32) is connected to the steam outlet (36) of the boiler (28). The steam delivery nozzle (32) extends down from a head portion (6) of the appliance (1). The head portion (6) and steam delivery nozzle (32) may be manually moveable up and down between a range of vertical positions relative to a base portion (2). Vertical movement of the head portion (6) and the steam nozzle (32) may be enabled by a linear actuator (42) provided in the stem (4) of the appliance (1).
