Hinari Lifestyle Steam Press Not Making Steam?

I have a steam press, but it is not producing any steam. It does not have a steam button on it, all there is, is the temperature dial. It does not have a manual as it was given to me. I do not know if it could be limescale and if it is how do I clean it?

Here is a link to the manual, which has a troubleshooting page: www.smartekusa.com/.../x-500.pdf

I'm not sure what model you have but I have not seen a manual for a Hinari - it is possible another make of steam press will be similar. I have an older Singer and my steam button is on the handle but it has to be on cotton (hot) for steam to work.

I cannot remove my water tank so I just run vinegar through it keep it clean and just use distilled water.
Have you been able to remove you water tank? If so, maybe a good cleaning would help. If you cannot locate a steam button then try the setting on high and see if that helps.
I do not know where you live but I found some Hinari steam presses for sale on eBay in the UK. Take a look at the listings and if any one of them looks similar to yours then go on the site and find the "ask seller a question" and send them a message and ask if they could look at the machine and maybe help you. Most sellers are nice and may be able to help you.

Does the plate have holes? Does it have a container to fill it with water? If yes, then it has steam but without a button. Otherwise, it's not a steam press. Just a press.
