Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a garment care device comprising a treatment surface (109) for treating a garment. A steam generator (104) is in thermal contact with the treatment surface. The steam generator is heated by an electrical heater (144). The steam generator comprises a steaming surface (172) with a water dosing point (DP) receiving water for generating steam. The garment care device further comprises a temperature sensor having a temperature sensing element for generating a signal for controlling the electrical heater. The temperature sensor is arranged in a central area (CA) of the steaming surface. A main groove (176) is arranged in the steaming surface. The main groove has a first extremity (178) arranged at proximity of the water dosing point and a second extremity (179) arranged at proximity of the central area. The main groove has a bottom surface which is inclined compared to the treatment surface. The main groove thus carries water between the water dosing point and the central area. A first groove (180A) is also arranged in the steaming surface. The first groove extends towards a first rear area of the steaming surface. The main groove and the first groove are fluidly connected at the second extremity.
