Most steam irons can be cleaned deposits by emptying the water and replacing with white vinegar. Let it heat up and use the iron as normal - but on cloth rags instead of clothing. The vinegar breaks down and dissolves the mineral deposits inside that are responsible for sputtering and stains. You can reduce or even eliminate these deposits from forming by using distilled water instead of tap water in the iron - otherwise - run vinegar thru it when it starts acting up. The vinegar "trick" works great on coffee makers, too.
Try this cleaning procedure: Empty the iron's reservoir.
Fill the reservoir halfway with white vinegar.
Set iron to steam setting.
Steam on a cotton rag allowing the vinegar to clean the holes in the soleplate.
If this cannot be performed, or does not work, at Black & Decker's normal price point, it is simply easier to dispose and purchase new.
check the instruction manual and see if it says to clean the surface before using it , if not try cleaning it and use it on something old in case it wants to scorch the fabric

You can obtain a new manual for free by visiting www.useandcaremanuals.com. Below is the section from the manual on care and cleaning of your iron.
Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. It is not necessary to empty the water reservoir after each use of the iron, if you iron frequently. To empty the iron, hold the iron over the sink with the tip pointing down. Water will stream out of the water fill opening.
TO CLEAN THE OUTSIDE SURFACES
• Unplug and allow iron to cool completely. Wipe the soleplate and outer surfaces with a soft cloth dampened in water and a mild household detergent. Never use abrasives, heavy duty cleansers, vinegar, or scouring pads that may scratch or discolor the iron.
• After cleaning, iron with steam over an old cloth to remove any residue from the steam vents. ABOUT THE SELF-CLEANING SYSTEM
• Use the self-cleaning system to flush out minerals and lint. If lint is allowed to accumulate in the vents, it can scorch and cause brown spotting. For Models D2000 and D2020: Clean about once a month. For Models D2010, D2030 and D2035: A "CLEAN" indicator will appear in the digital display to notify you when your iron needs cleaning (A).
• Fill the iron as described in "How to Use" but keep the water level below the MAX line. Plug in the iron, set the temperature to 6, and stand the iron on its heel rest. Allow to heat about 3 minutes.
• Unplug the iron and take it to a sink. Holding it horizontally over a sink, move and HOLD the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position ( ). There may be some hissing and spitting while self-cleaning. This is normal.
• Stay clear of HOT steam and boiling water as it comes out of the vents while lint, scale, and minerals flush through! Continue to hold the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position until all the water has emptied. If necessary, rock the iron side to side and front to back to empty it.
• When finished, release the variable steam dial, stand the iron on its heel rest, and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water then unplug.
