Abstract
The present application relates to a steamer which has a steam generator (11) with a steam outlet (33). A steam path extends from the steam outlet to convey steam, and a filter unit (7) is positioned in the steam path. The filter unit has a filter cartridge (24) removably mounted along the steam path having a cartridge housing, a filter medium received in the cartridge housing. The filter unit also has a cartridge inlet and a cartridge outlet which are at or towards a first end (32) of the cartridge housing (34), and a barrier (20) configured to guide the steam to flow in the cartridge housing to a second end (17). The filter unit is spaced from the steam outlet (33), to filter impurities from steam passing along the steam path. The present application also relates to a filter cartridge for a steamer.
