Abstract:
An iron includes a housing, a sole plate coupled to the housing and having a plurality of openings formed therein, a water reservoir in the housing, a first steam chamber in selective fluid communication with the water reservoir via a first feed channel, and a heater in thermal communication with the sole plate and the first steam chamber. The heater heats the sole plate and water in the first steam chamber received from the water reservoir to generate steam. A steam nozzle is mounted to the housing and is in fluid communication with the first steam chamber for emitting at least a first volume of the steam. A three-position switch coupled to first and second valves includes a first position where the first and second valves are closed. In a second position, the first valve is open and the second valve is closed. In a third position, the second valve is open and the first valve is closed.
