Since the water of No. 7 is drained to the water storage tank 26 of the stand 23, no water remains in the tank 17.

Therefore, if there is residual water when the process is shifted to dry ironing at a low temperature after steam ironing, if there is residual water, the water is vaporized, and the base 13 is remarkably cooled, so that the effect of spreading wrinkles of the iron cannot be obtained or water is vaporized. If the ironing is finished while leaving the water remaining in the tank 17, the problem that the remaining water will rot is eliminated, and the usability is greatly improved.

It is needless to say that the certain time of drainage must be set to the time when all the water in the tank 17 is drained.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, in which an iron body 1 is shown.
The stand 23 is provided with a placement detecting means 40 for detecting whether or not 0 is on the placing section 31 of the stand.

When the iron body 10 is removed from the mounting portion 31 and ironing is performed, the water in the tank 17 is sent to the vaporization chamber 12 through the water conduit 16 and the vaporization chamber 12 The process is the same as that of the first embodiment until the gas is vaporized and spouted from the bottom of the base 13 as steam.

When the ironing with steam is completed and the temperature setting means 29 of the stand 23 is operated to set the temperature to the dry ironing temperature, the control means 28 controls the water supply / drainage device 2.
7 is driven for a certain time, and the tank 1 in the iron body 10 is
7 is drained to the water storage tank 26 of the stand 23. When the iron main body 10 is removed from the mounting portion 31 during drainage, the mounting detecting means 40 detects that the iron main body 17 is not on the mounting portion 31, and the control means 28 stops measuring the drain time.

When the iron main body 17 is again mounted on the mounting portion 31 of the stand 23, the mounting detecting means 40 detects that the iron main body 17 is mounted, and the control means 28 resumes timing. When the counted time, that is, the time when the iron main body 10 is placed on the placing portion 31 and the drainage time reaches a predetermined fixed time, the control means 28 stops the drainage operation of the water supply / drainage device 27. In this way, the drainage is performed for a certain time by measuring only the mounting time in consideration of the fact that the iron is removed from the mounting portion 31 at the time of drainage,
The water in the tank 17 is drained without fail and no water remains.

Therefore, if there is residual water when the iron is transferred to dry ironing at a low temperature after steam ironing, if the water evaporates, the iron base 13 will be significantly cooled and the iron will not be able to obtain the effect of spreading wrinkles. ,
