A specific water level height in the riser can be kept at least largely constant by a constant level holding device.

Heating water in hot drink appliances

The invention is directed to a steam iron with a water reservoir for the supply of water to an evaporation chamber in which the fed water is convertible into steam and which is connectable to at least one first and one second steam discharge port (,), with a heating element (,) for heating both the evaporation chamber and a soleplate (,), said soleplate having an ironing surface (,) and a nose (,) at its forward end when viewed in the direction of movement, and said first steam discharge port (,) being arranged in such close proximity to the iron's nose (,) that the steam propagates in the area adjacent to the iron's nose (,). The first and the second steam discharge port (,) are formed in the soleplate (,) such as to be at a height of less than 10 mm relative to the ironing surface (,). Further, the first and the second steam discharge port (,) are in balanced pressure communication with each other. Provision is made for distinct steaming and drying zones.
