I have a pretty new Rowenta Eco iron and I am struggling with how to do the cleaning ritual described in the manual. It involves heating the iron then taking it to the sink and pressing down a self clean switch while jiggling it, then doing more things and so forth. I understand the directions, but it's just not working because only a few teaspoons of water comes out during the whole process, and supposedly the whole canister of water is meant to drain.

Can I just use vinegar and be done with this?

The manual says vinegar will wreck it, but will it really?

I love to use vinegar, it works so well and then I don't need to follow all the nonsense above.

Thanks for ideas...
