Abstract
An electrothermal device adapted for heating water into steam includes a heating plate including a heating base wall, an ironing plate mounted below the heating plate and including an ironing base wall and a spacing chamber, and a separating member. The heating base wall has a main perforation unit extending therethrough. The ironing base wall is spaced apart from the heating base wall, and has a secondary perforation unit communicating with the main perforation unit to allow the steam from the heating plate to pass through the ironing plate. The spacing chamber is formed between the heating base wall and the ironing base wall. The separating member is disposed on one of the heating base wall and the ironing base wall for separating the spacing chamber from the main perforation unit.
