Heating The Iron; Using Steam Features - Maytag MLI7000AAW Manual Del Usuario

HEATING THE IRON

1. After setting the temperature, allow
the iron to preheat on the cradle. The
iron will be ready for use once the
heating light turns off, approximately
1 - 2 minutes.
• If the temperature setting is changed
from high to low during iron operation,
the iron will
be ready for
use once the
heating light
turns off.
Cuff Press
When used as a "dry" iron,
the removal of the water
tank allows the iron to be used for pressing
hard to reach areas such as sleeves, cuffs
and childrens clothes.

USING STEAM FEATURES

Steam

Ready for use
once the heating

Make
sure the steam
button is in the up
position.
2. Be sure that the iron is always placed
back on the cradle whenever you take
a break from ironing or when you
adjust clothes on the ironing board.
• If the heating light illuminates after the
iron has been placed back on the
cradle, wait until the light turns off
before continuing to use the iron.
• When returning the iron to its cradle,
never place it in a sideways or
backwards position. The contact points
will become deformed and the iron will
not be able to heat properly.
• Steam may occasionally continue to
discharge for a
short time after
the iron has
been placed
back on the
cradle. This is
normal.
Burst of Steam
Be sure that the iron is set to the highest
temperature setting.
• Press the Burst of Steam button
at intervals of 2 - 5 seconds to
apply powerful shots of steam
directly onto wrinkles.
• If the burst of steam button is pressed at
shorter intervals, hot water droplets may
be discharged.
• If shots of steam are not discharged during
initial usage, press the burst of steam
button several times.
• NEVER iron clothes while being worn.
• DO NOT use the burst of steam features
with delicate fabrics.
