Device for ironing with bypass for selfcleaning

摘要

A device for ironing laundry having a regulating device and a drip-stop valve arranged in series in a passageway between the water tank and the steam chamber for supplying cold water to the steam chamber for normal steaming operation and a bypass which bypasses the drip-stop valve and in which a valve is arranged for supplying a large amount of cold water directly to the steam chamber for cleaning the steam chamber. For an effective cleaning the location where cold water for cleaning the steam chamber is supplied to the steam chamber is substantially the same as the location where cold water for normal steaming operation during ironing is supplied to the steam chamber.
