Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3263236A1] A steam cleaning device (1) comprises a steam generator and a variable flow rate pump. The variable flow rate pump is in fluid communication between the steam generator and a water supply. The variable flow rate pump is arranged to pump water from the water supply to the steam generator. A steam outlet (2) is connectable to at least a first connector (6) of a first accessory and a second connector of a second accessory. A connection detector is arranged to detect when the first accessory is connected to the steam outlet and to detect when the second accessory is connected to the steam outlet. A pump controller is configured to control the pump at a first pump flow rate when the connection detector detects the first connector and to control the pump at a second pump flow rate when the connection detector detects the second connector.
