Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a garment care device (100) comprising a steam generator (104) for generating steam. The steam generator comprises a steam outlet (105). A soleplate (108) comprises steam vents (110) which are in fluid communication with the steam generator. A valve system (V) is arranged between the steam outlet and the steam vents for regulating the flow of steam between the steam outlet and the steam vents. A sensor (120) measures a parameter relating to movement of at least part of the garment care device, and a processing unit (122) controls the valve system as follows:a) if the velocity is in a first range of velocity, said processing unit is adapted to control the valve system so that the flow of steam is in a first range of steam rate,b) if the velocity is in a second range of velocity, said processing unit is adapted to control the valve system so that the flow of steam is in a second range of steam rate, wherein said first range of velocity and said second range of velocity do not overlap with each other and are both strictly larger than 0, and wherein said first range of steam rate and said second range of steam rate do not overlap with each other and are both strictly larger than 0.
