IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The use of any electrical appliance requires the following common sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or death and secondly the danger of damage to the appliance. These are indicated in the text by the following two conventions:
WWAARRNNIINNGG:: DDaannggeerr ttoo tthhee ppeerrssoonn
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance! In addition we offer the following safety advice.
Location
Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
Do not allow the mains lead to become strained or run this appliance over it.

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, instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around the iron before storing.
The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface
When placing the iron on its heel, ensure that the surface on which the iron is placed is stable.
The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Other safety considerations
Use the iron only for its intended use.
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.
Children
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
Children do not understand the dangers associated with operating electrical appliances.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.
Special instructions
If your iron does not work, check the following points:
Has the temperature control been set to the required temperature? Is the plug in its socket? Is the plug itself or the socket faulty? (Check by plugging in another appliance).
WWAARRNNIINNGG:: WWhheenn nnoott iinn uussee,, yyoouurr iirroonn sshhoouulldd nneevveerr bbee ppllaacceedd ffllaatt aanndd lleefftt oonn aann iirroonniinngg bbooaarrdd..
To prevent damage to the textile being ironed, follow the temperature guide carefully. (Test the inside of the hem of the garment).
When ironing is complete, turn off the steam selector switch, remove the plug from the socket, empty any remaining water from the tank, and allow to cool before storage.

Heat setting markings on the adjustable control dial of all Morphy Richards irons match those of the International Textile Care Labelling Code.
If you drop or severely knock your iron this could cause internal damage even if the outside appears alright. Have it checked by a qualified electrician.
It is recommended that you use up one beaker of water by operating your iron’s steam and shot of steam functions before ironing any clothes as some dripping may occur while your irons steam system is activated.
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.

BEFORE USE
Sort out the items to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will minimise the frequency of temperature adjustment for different garments.
Note: The steam facility should only be used on garments which are suitable for ironing at the 2 and 3 dot settings.
Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry ironing instructions. If they don’t you should follow the fabric guide on page 3, but be sure to test the temperature by ironing the hem of the garment or similar area first.
If you turn the control dial down from a hot setting to a cooler setting, wait until the iron temperature has stabilised before you continue ironing.
Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool,velour, etc, are best ironed with an ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
BB
Plug in the iron and switch on. Set the temperature control dial
¤¤
to the temperature required, but don’t start ironing immediately.
If you wait a few minutes, the iron will stabilise at the required setting. Your Morphy Richards iron is fitted with an indicator light flwhich will go on and off while you are ironing.
This is perfectly normal as it shows that the iron is maintaining the heat setting you have chosen.
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.
FEATURES OF YOUR IRON
Temperature indicator light
The indicator light flshows that the iron is warming up. When the required temperature is reached the light will go out and will cycle on-off during operation.
Dry ironing
You can use your iron as a dry iron only. Make sure the steam to dry iron selector switch⁄is set to the symbol.
Any temperature setting may be used depending on the garment. The spray feature may be used provided there is water in the tank (see filling section). You do not need to put any water in the tank when dry ironing only.
Spray
CC
Press the spray button ›and aim the spray of water at stubborn creases. You can do this whilst dry ironing providing there is water in the tank. When using the water spray it may be necessary to push the button a few times to get the spray pump primed.
Automatic variable steam
BB
Fill the iron with water as described in the filling section, and insert the plug into the electrical socket.
11
Set the ‘steam to dry iron’ selector switch to 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 (2-DOT) shown on the control dial.
Note: For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.
Vertical steam
Hold the iron in a vertical position between 1cm and 2cm away from the item EE. Press the shot of steam button fi, this will create vertical steam. This feature is especially useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, wall hanging, etc.
Note; For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.
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 your iron is fitted with the auto shut-off 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 1 minute. When this occurs, the indicator light will flash and a beep will be heard.
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 heat­up as normal.
LIFE LONG ANTI­SCALE SYSTEM
(certain models only) The life long anti-scale system
reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.
EMPTYING AND STORING
When you have finished ironing, unplug your iron. Ensure that the steam to dry iron selector switch ⁄is set at the position, lift up the fill cap and empty any remaining water out of the filling hole
FF..
Do not store in the box, but in an upright position, so that any drops of water remaining cannot leak out and discolour the soleplate
GG..
Important: The flex can be damaged if wound too tightly around the iron after use. Make a loose loop with the flex and wrap it around the iron. The iron must be cool before winding the flex and storing on its heel.

To clean a stainless steel soleplate
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean and free of limescale, we recommend that you use one of the gentle chrome, silver or stainless steel cleaners that are generally available. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
To clean off melted man-made fibres, set the iron at 3 dot position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off the surface.
To clean a coated soleplate
(certain models only) In the unlikely event of any man-
made fibre fusing to the soleplate, set the iron at the 3 dot position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off the surface.
Do not use scouring powder or solution as this could cause damage to the coating.
To clean the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe with a dry cloth.
