STEAM IRON
The invention relates to a steam iron (14), comprising a water channel (28) for filling a water tank (20) arranged in a housing and comprising an air channel (64) for allowing air to escape from the water tank during filling, wherein the water channel and the air channel are separated from each other in the filling direction by a partition wall so as to prevent fluid exchange, said partition wall having a wall section (40) that is integrated into an insertion element (34) and that forms a sealed area (70) together with a wall section (60) of the partition wall (62) arranged in the housing interior. The invention is suitable in particular for providing an iron which is easy to assemble and disassemble, from the water tank of which air can always be reliably allowed to escape while the water tank is being filled with water, which prevents soiling of a water channel and an air channel, and which is simple to produce.
