When I had sticky gunk on my iron plate I sprinkled salt on a folded sheet of waxed paper and with a low heat on the iron, I ironed over the salt and then ironed on two layers of old dryer sheets. Then I rubbed the plate with crumpled up dryer sheets - not too sure what worked the best but it all worked eventually. Does require some "elbow grease".

Be careful with the dryer sheets. THEY WILL MELT.
