A steam type clothing flattening device includes an electrical heating tray unit and a soleplate unit. The electrical heating tray unit is heated electrically to vaporize water in an upper vaporization chamber thereof, and has a discharge port for discharge of vapor from the upper vaporization chamber. The soleplate unit is coupled to an underside of and heated by the electrical heating tray unit. The soleplate unit cooperates with the electrical heating tray unit to define a lower vaporization chamber in communication with the discharge port, and has a plurality of vapor outlets extending through a bottom surface thereof for outletting vapor from the lower vaporization chamber.

The invention relates to a method of operating a textile treatment device comprising a heatable soleplate intended to be in contact with a textile for treating the textile. The method comprises a first step (1001) of setting a first temperature target for the heatable soleplate, and a step (1002) of detecting movement of said textile treatment device. If the step (1002) of 5 detecting movement did not detect any movement of said textile treatment device during more than a given first time duration, a step (1004) of actively decreasing the temperature of the heatable soleplate (4) up to reaching a first given temperature having a value below said first temperature target.

The invention relates to a sole plate of a steam iron comprising a cover and a heating subassembly, in which the surface of the cover intended for being in contact with a garment comprises a steaming area onto which the steam outlet holes open and a drying area separate from the steaming area, the steaming area being located, at least partially, in the front third of said surface, the drying area being devoid of steam outlet holes and comprising a portion projecting outwards at the center of said surface.
