ABSTRACT:
An ironing machine is provided which includes an iron 1 and a stand 2. The iron 1 includes a steam generator 11 in the sole plate 15 of the iron 1. The stand 2 includes a reservoir 21, which is connected to the steam generator 11 by a duct 3. The ironing machine further includes a pump 22 in the duct 3, which pump 22 can be driven by an electric current, and flow-rate adjustment device 41. The flow-rate adjustment device 41 has at least three settings corresponding to different flow-rates of water into the steam generator 11 and includes a control unit 41 and a driver 45 to control the electric current supplied to the pump 22 in dependence on the setting. The control unit 41 has a manually adjustable selector 42 for selecting a setting and a trigger 43 for activating the pump 22. During use the user can depress the trigger 43 when steam operation is required. This causes the pump 22 to be activated, thus producing a flow rate of water into the steam generator 11 depending on the setting selected by the adjustable selector 42.
