Cleaning Your Iron - Maytag M1200 Manual Del Usario

4. CLEANING YOUR IRON

We recommend cleaning your iron once per month to remove impurities that may build up
inside the soleplate over the use of your iron. The self-cleaning function does produce hot
steam and water during the process; hold iron away from your body as water/steam exit
the soleplate during cleaning.
1. Ensure iron is unplugged.
2. Fill the Removable Water Tank halfway with water
following "Filling Removable Water Tank" and close
Water Fill Cover. See section 3.1.
3. Place iron in an upright position.
4. Place Steam Control in off position. See Figure M.
5. Turn on iron and set temperature to max setting. See
"Setting Digital Temperature and Turning on Your
Iron." See section 3.4.
6. Once MAX temperature is met, turn off iron.
See "Turning Off Your Iron." See section 3.5.
7. Ensure iron is unplugged.
8. Hold the iron over the sink with the soleplate facing down.
9. Set the Steam Control/Self-Clean to Self-Clean. Hot water and steam will come out of the
soleplate. See Figure N.
10. Continue to hold the Steam Control/Self-Clean until
all the water has emptied from the Removable Water
Tank. You may have to move the iron back and forth
to remove most of the water from the Removable
Water Tank.
11. When water/steam stops flowing, release the Steam
Control/Self-Clean and stand the iron up on its heel to
cool down.
12. Once the iron is cool, wipe down the soleplate
with a cold damp cloth.
When ready to use again, plug the iron in and let heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any
remaining water.
