mine came with 'cleaning instructions' in the owners book- tells you how to empty & clean out the steam feature- which they say should be done when you are done using it each day- the iron should not be left full of water to sit. see if you saved your 'manual' and put it through a good cleaning to 'expel' all of the buildup you have in your steam vent.

Mine started doing that after about ten years, so now I don't use steam from it. I have a spray bottle that I use instead. I suspect the iron is dying a slow death, so I'm researching new irons for when that time comes.

When I bought my current, inexpensive B&D iron, I didn't bother even trying the steam feature. I keep a spray bottle of water next to my ironing board, which works just as well. Before this iron, I'd tried various steam irons, including an expensive Rowenta. I read instructions carefully and used tap or distilled water, as directed. Finally got fed up with the lack of quality in even the expensive ones, so went to WalMart and bought one of the cheapest B&D irons, I could find. Got myself a spray bottle and a gallon of distilled water (we have hard well water) and have never looked back.
