•Do not use outdoors or near water.
•The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
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.
Personal Safety
•WARNING: Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts,

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.
•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 the plug and pull to disconnect.
•Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces.
•Let the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop the cord
loosely around the iron before storing.
•The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the

not disassemble the iron, but telephone Morphy Richards for
advice. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock
when the iron is used.
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).
•WARNING: When not in use, your iron should never be placed
flat and left on an ironing board.
•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, remove the plug from the socket,
empty any remaining water from the tank, and allow to cool
before storage.
•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 iron’s
steam system is activated.

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 (see
‘Temperature guide’).
Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry ironing instructions.
If they don’t, you should follow the Temperature/Fabric guide,
but be sure to test the temperature by ironing the hem of the
garment or similar discreet 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.

In hard water areas, the use of distilled or demineralised water is
recommended.
Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any
substances like starch, or sugar, or defrosted water from a
refrigerator.

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 will save time and energy.
FEATURES OF YOUR IRON
Dry ironing
You can use your iron as a dry iron only. Make sure the variable
steam control

bottom of the steam range, the steam output should be
adjusted to the low setting.
The steam facility should only be used on garments which are
suitable for ironing at 2, 3-dot and MAX setting.
Economy / Eco steam setting
(certain models only)
This iron provides you with two specific steam levels, the first
position is an economy or “Eco” setting which delivers a
specific amount of steam adequate for most tasks. Move the
control button across until it aligns with the green indicator line.
A second setting is available to handle difficult jobs such as
stubborn creases. The “Eco” or economy setting can be used
at the 2-3 dot and MAX temperature levels, high steam is
suitable for 3-dot and MAX levels only.
Steam boost
Press the steam boost button¤to obtain a boost 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.
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
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
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.
If it is left in the vertical position, it will shut down after 8
minutes.

MAINTENANCE
To clean a ceramic coated soleplate
(certain models only)
In the unlikely event of any man-made fibre fusing to the
soleplate, set the iron at the MAX 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not descale the soleplate with descaling
products, proprietary cleaning agents or vinegar when
flushing out the soleplate.
To clean a stainless steel soleplate
(certain models only)
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.

position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will
draw the deposit off the surface.
IMPORTANT: Do not descale the soleplate with descaling
products, proprietary cleaning agents or vinegar when
flushing out the soleplate.
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.

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
