Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2952624A1] A method is for controlling operation of a steam iron that includes a steam generating unit for generating and ejecting steam, a controller (33) for controlling operation of the steam generating unit, and a switch (34) for activating the steam generating unit to eject steam. The method includes: a) upon the switch (34) being turned on, starting, by the controller (33), timing a first time period, and enabling, by the controller (33), the steam generating unit to eject a first amount of steam per unit time until the first time period has elapsed; and b) after the first time period has elapsed, enabling, by the controller (33), the steam generating unit to eject a second amount of steam per unit time, which is less than the first amount of steam per unit time when the switch (34) is turned on.
