ABSTRACT:
An electric iron includes a soleplate, a soleplate cover connected to the soleplate, a housing connected to the soleplate, and a water tank associated with the housing. The soleplate and soleplate cover are spaced to form a surge chamber therebetween. The soleplate cover includes a first flow opening communicating the water tank with the surge chambers. A flow control member delivers water from the tank to the surge chamber. A seal overlies the first flow opening and includes a first portion in sealing engagement with the first flow opening. The portion of the seal includes a first leg extending through the flow opening below the lower surface of the cover. The leg includes a nozzle for directing water from the tank into the surge chamber in a tangential flow path relative to the lower surface of the cover. The nozzle directs the water towards a temperature sensing element used to control the temperature of the soleplate heater.
