Try flushing the iron and clearing the holes by filling the iron with a mixture of half white vinegar and half water. Set it for steam and let it sit on an old cloth for about 30 minutes.
This should flush out any buildup in the iron and holes.
Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,
Its most likely this iron is clogged with lime scale as you have already used Vinegar . Buy a lime scale remover liquid , mix it with hot water. And pour it into iron leave for 24 hours then empty , clean iron out to get rid of any lime scale solution. And try it again..
Hope this helps.
It sounds like the steam valve inside the iron is stuck open. You have to take the iron apart and free it up by lightly scraping water deposits off it with a screwdriver.
Anti-calc valve wings (grip) located at #3 of the 1-15 labeled description diagram that is part of the instruction manual. The wings are on either side of the dry/steam control #4. Lift up on the wings (grips) and the dry/steam control will accompany it. The anti-calc valve is under this control. It's easy once you realize where the silly thing is actually located.
Run white vinegar through the iron over the sink with iron on high & steam button pressed down. This should dissolve any minerals that build up in it. Then run water through it over the sink to rinse the vinegar out.
The iron needs to be cleaned as I have just discovered myself. I have a hinari and the instructions are as follows. Fill the water tank and turn the iron on to medium. When heated press the steam button and hold it over the sink or a container so that the water can run out of it. It will take sediments with it. The cleaning of the iron should be carried out once a month.
I experienced the same trouble and carried out the instructions and all is well again.
Is the unit spraying ok? If not then the heater may be plugged. Other than that, you should fill the tank with hot tap water, the the heater will only heat it alittle more, you won't really see steam.
