It needs to be descaled. I'm not sure how you do it with a steam generator I only get unfancy plain irons Sad. If you dig out your instructions it will tell you what to do. Some irons have a self clean button, others you have to use a purpose bought descaler (about £1 you can get them anywhere).

I have a bosch steam generator and every so often I am supposed to take a cap off the bottom of the generator bit and swoosh around lots of water inside before pouring it all out again. Is supposed to help descale/clean it out.
