    In addition, a warning signal can be emitted here, for example, by activating a signaling lamp, where said signal allows the user to be recognized that the cleaning process has begun and that, therefore, other measures must be taken, if necessary, or interrupt the ironing process. Thus, it may be convenient, for example, to hold the steam iron on a drain during the cleaning process so that the water flowing out of the outlet openings can be evacuated by dragging the lime deposits with it. In this way, optimal cleaning can be guaranteed in a particularly safe way and at the right time of the steam iron and, thus, the optimal maintenance of its functionality.
    According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the application to the steam chamber of the steam supplied by the steam generator is manually activated, for example, by activating an actuating element that causes the steam valve to open. In this way, the user is allowed not to apply steam to the steam chamber before other measures have been taken such as, for example, that the user holds the steam iron on a drain so that the water that flows through the Exit openings can be evacuated.
    Preferably, the cleaning duration is recorded as an accumulated time of steam application to the steam chamber and, upon reaching a predetermined cleaning time, a user-perceptible signal is generated. Upon reaching the predetermined cleaning time, a signaling device can also be deactivated or disconnected, for example, a signaling lamp, which has been activated to indicate the need for cleaning or to indicate the start of the cleaning program . In this way, it can be made recognizable to the user that sufficient cleaning has been carried out and that it is no longer necessary to continue applying steam to the steam chamber and that, if necessary, after the condensed water is in The steam chamber has evaporated by activating the ironing sole heating device, the user can continue with the ironing. When the signal occurs or, as the case may be, the disconnection of a signaling device, as a consequence of the accumulated time of application to the steam chamber, is irrelevant if the steam is supplied to the steam chamber continuously or at intervals.
    According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the steam supplied by the steam generator is applied to the steam chamber automatically. In this way, the cleaning program sequence can be executed in a particularly safe manner, and the risk of erroneous operations is minimized.

    Preferably, the cleaning duration is recorded as an accumulated time of application of the steam generated by the steam generator to the steam chamber and, upon reaching a predetermined cleaning time, the application of steam to the steam chamber is automatically terminated. steam. In this way, it is particularly guaranteed that the cleaning process is carried out to a sufficient extent. Here, both a signal can be emitted and a signaling device deactivated to inform the user about the completion of the cleaning process.
    A steam ironing station according to the invention comprises a steam iron, which comprises an ironing sole with a heating device for heating the ironing sole and a steam chamber disposed above the ironing sole, where the sole of ironing has one or several steam outlets for steam output from the steam chamber for the treatment of an ironing article. The steam ironing station further comprises a steam generator, associated with the steam iron, for supplying pressurized steam that is introduced into the steam chamber, a steam valve for controlling the introduction of steam into the steam chamber, and a control device. According to the invention, the steam ironing station is configured for the execution of the procedure for cleaning the steam iron described above. The control device is configured for the activation of the heating device, of the steam generator and, in the event that the steam supplied is automatically applied to the steam chamber, of the steam valve, in accordance with the procedure described above. . In this way, an efficient cleaning of the steam iron can be ensured and a safe operation can be prevented during the cleaning.
    Preferably, the steam ironing station comprises a steam station, separate from the steam iron, which comprises the steam generator and is connected to the steam iron through a steam conduit. The steam station may also contain the steam valve through which the supply to the steam chamber of the steam provided by the steam generator can be controlled. Also, the steam station may comprise the control device. The steam station may also be connected to the steam iron through one or several power lines by means of which electric power is supplied to the steam iron to operate the ironing sole heating device and / or by means of which control signals can be transmitted, for example, to operate the steam valve, from the steam iron to the steam station. In this way, a very easy to use steam ironing station is achieved, comprising the steam iron and the steam station.
