Abstract:
A steam iron ( 10 ) comprises a steam generator ( 15 ) having a main body portion ( 15 a  ) including an electrical heating element ( 16 ) to heat the steam generator ( 15 ), and an ironing plate ( 13 ) coupled to the steam generator ( 15 ) via a thermal coupling and configured to be passively heated by conduction of heat from the steam generator ( 15 ) via the thermal coupling. The thermal coupling between the steam generator ( 15 ) and the ironing plate ( 13 ) comprises an indirect thermal path formed by a flange ( 22 ) of the steam generator ( 15 ), the flange ( 22 ) being in contact with the ironing plate ( 13 ) and being spaced from the main body portion ( 15 a  ) of the steam generator ( 15 ), the flange ( 22 ) also being configured to space the main body portion ( 15 a  ) of the steam generator ( 15 ) from the ironing plate ( 13 ) to restrict the conduction of heat from the main body portion ( 15 a  ) of the steam generator ( 15 ) to the ironing plate ( 13 ).

Claim (Index 8):
The steam iron according to  claim 7 , wherein the first heating operation comprises heating the steam generator to remain above a first minimum predetermined temperature, and the second heating operation comprises heating the steam generator to remain above a second minimum predetermined temperature, wherein the first minimum temperature is higher than the second minimum temperature.
