Important safety
instructions

The use of any electrical appliance

equires the following common sense

r
safety rules.

Primarily there is danger of injury or

eath and secondly the danger of

d
damage to the appliance. These are

ndicated in the text by the following

i
two conventions:

WARNING: Danger to the
person!

IMPORTANT: Damage to the
appliance! In addition we offer the
following safety advice.

Location

• Do not use outdoors.

Children

• Children do not understand the
dangers associated with operating
electrical appliances. Never allow
children to use this appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used near
children.

Personal safety

• WARNING: Burns can occur
from touching hot metal parts,
hot water or steam. Use caution
when you turn a steam iron
upside down, there may be hot
water in the water tank.

• WARNING: To protect against
the risk of electric shock do not
put the appliance in water or in
any other liquid.

• Do not use the vertical steam
feature on clothes that are being
worn.

• Do not leave the iron unattended
whilst plugged in or on an ironing
board. Never allow the mains lead
to over hang the work surface.

• The socket should always be off
before plugging or unplugging
from the socket. Never yank the
cord to disconnect from the socket,

i
disconnect.

• Do not allow the cord to touch hot
surfaces. Let the iron cool

ompletely before putting away.

c

efore storing.

b

Other safety
considerations

• Use the iron only for its intended

se.

u

Always disconnect the iron from the

•
electrical socket when filling with
water or emptying, and when not in
use.

• Do not operate the iron with a
damaged cord or if the iron has
been dropped or damaged. To avoid
the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron, but telephone
Morphy Richards for advice.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a
risk of electric shock when the iron
is used.

• IMPORTANT: When not in use, the
iron should never be left flat on an
ironing board.

• If you drop or severely knock the
iron this could cause internal
damage even if the outside appears
alright. Have it checked by a
qualified electrician.

• To prevent damage to a textile
being ironed, follow the temperature
guide carefully and test the inside of
the hem of the garment.

Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating
plate of your appliance corresponds
with your house electricity supply
which must be A.C. (alternating
current).

If the socket outlets in your home are
not suitable for the plug supplied
with this appliance the plug should
be removed and the appropriate one
fitted.

WARNING : The plug removed
from the mains lead, if severed,
must be destroyed as a plug
with a bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.

Set the temperature control dial D

to the temperature required, but

on’t start ironing immediately. The

d
indicator light ‰ shows that the
iron is warming up.

3 After a few minutes the iron will

stabilise at the required temperature
and the indicator light will go out. It
will cycle on-off during operation to
show that the iron is maintaining the
selected temperature.

It is always a good idea to begin with
cool fabrics and work up to higher
settings. An iron heats up quicker
than it cools down so you’ll save
time and electricity.

If you do adjust the temperature from
a hot setting to a cooler setting, wait
until the iron temperature has
stabilised before you continue
ironing.

f you do adjust the temperature from

I
a hot setting to a cooler setting, wait

ntil the iron temperature has

u
stabilised before you continue
ironing.

Dry ironing

ou do not need to fill the iron with

Y
water. Set the variable steam control

to the ‘O’ symbol.

⁄

Any temperature setting may be

•
used depending on the garment.

• The spray feature may be used
provided there is water in the tank.

Steam ironing

The steam output can be varied from
low to high by turning the variable
steam control between ‘O’ and the
steam symbol F.

• It is recommended that you use up
one beaker of water by operating
the iron’s steam and shot-of-steam
functions before ironing any clothes
as some dripping may occur while
the iron’s steam system is activated.

• The steam facility should only be
used on garments which are
suitable for ironing at 2, 3 dot and
MAX setting.

• When ironing with the steam facility
at the 2 dot setting, the steam
output should be set at the low end
of the steam range.

Shot-of-steam

Press the shot-of-steam button ¤ to
obtain a burst of extra steam for
ironing out creases in heavy material
such as denim etc.

• The shot-of-steam can be used
whilst dry ironing, providing there is
water in the tank, and the
temperature control is set within the
steam range.

• Do not use shot-of-steam at
temperatures below the steam
range shown on the control dial.

• For optimum steam quality, do not
operate the shot more than three
times in succession.

Vertical steam

Hold the iron in a vertical position

etween 1cm and 2cm away from

b
the item G. Press the shot-of-steam
button ¤.

• This feature is especially useful for
emoving creases from hanging

r
clothes, curtains, wall hangings, etc.
For optimum steam quality, do not

•

operate the shot more than three

imes in succession.

t

Spray

ress the spray button ‹ and aim

P
the spray of water at stubborn
creases.

• You can do this whilst dry ironing

providing there is water in the tank.

• It may be necessary to push the

button a few times to get the spray
pump primed.

No-drip system

Your iron is fitted with a no-drip
system which is designed to prevent
water escaping from the soleplate
when the iron is too cold.

• During use, the no-drip system may

emit a loud click, particularly during
heat-up or whilst cooling down. This
is perfectly normal and indicates
that the system is functioning
correctly.

Auto shut-off

(certain models only)

If the iron is fitted with the auto shut­off function it will automatically shut
down after a set period.

• If the iron is left unattended in the

horizontal position it will shut down
after 30 seconds.

• If it is left in the vertical position it

will shut down after 8 minutes.

• To reactivate the iron gently shake

it, the temperature indicator light will
come on indicating the iron is
warming up and wait for the iron to
heat-up as normal.

Life long anti-scale
system

The life long anti-scale system
reduces scale deposits and helps
prolong the life of the iron.
