this is where the similarity ends

this is where the exceptional begins

... the premium, highly innovative Morphy Richards product group.

Driven by principles of innovation and providing exceptional quality, the

Redefine range is designed to fulfil the consumer need for brilliantly performing

products that have equal aesthetic consideration.

Now there’s a new way to iron: our
innovative ATOMiST vapour iron with
patented thermoglass and vapour mist
technology is designed to be gentle on
your garments while efficiently removing
the toughest of creases with ease.

The ATOMiST vapour iron is based on the
scientific principles of crease removal,
delivering the right amount of heat,
pressure and moisture for easier ironing,
without the need for steam.

It’s time to redefine
your expectations.

6

1 Vapour mist nozzle

This patented technology makes ironing easy and gives
your clothes a superior finish without the need for steam,
using 75% less energy.

2 Precision vapour mist trigger

Simply press and hold to activate the mist that penetrates
deep into the fibres to remove creases with ease. You can
apply a light mist to your garments before you start ironing
or apply a heavier mist for more stubborn creases. You
should not need to press the trigger at all times.

3 Thermoglass soleplate

This patented technology means the iron heats up quickly
and the impact resistant ceramic glass lets you see the
creases disappear as you iron.

4 Precision temperature control / Standby

One-touch heat selection lets you select the right
temperature for your clothes with ease.

One touch selection turns on your vapour iron. Press and

hold for three seconds to turn your vapour iron off / into
standby.

5 Limescale free

The patented vapour mist technology means no more
limescale build up and no need for cartridges.

6 Removable water tank

Easy to fill straight from the tap, the iron uses 80% less
water and gives you up to 2 hours continuous ironing time.

7 A better experience

The vapour mist system is surprisingly quiet and doesn’t
create humidity like steam irons can.

8 Ergonomic design

The lightweight iron can be replaced on the heat-safe iron
rest (13) whilst ironing. The base is easy to carry and keep
the cable tidy for storage.

9 Power cable

Plug into the mains outlet to power the appliance.

10 Power cable storage

When the product is not in use, the power cable may be
stored here to keep the cable tidy.

11 Power light

This light remains constantly lit throughout use, except
when the auto shut-off feature is activated.

12 Vapour mist cord

Takes water from the water tank for applying vapour to
your garments.

13 Iron rest

With rubber heat-resistant pads to safely rest your iron
whilst in use.

WARNING: The metal area of the iron rest may get hot

during use.

14 Base

The easy to carry base pumps the water from the water
tank up through the vapour mist cord.

15 Temperature indicator lights

Flash until the selected temperature is reached and the
iron is ready to use.

Temperature
guide

Heat setting markings in the temperature
guide (below) match those of the International
Textile Care Labelling Code. Please check your
garment label before ironing to avoid damage.

Symbol (210ºC Max) Hot(120ºC Max) Cool (160ºC Max) Warm MAX setting

(220ºC)

Before use

Unwind and straighten the power cable (9) and vapour
mist cord (12).

For first use, follow the ‘Quick Start Guide’ on page 3.

NOTE: When you have plugged in your ATOMiST
vapour iron, press the precision temperature control (4)
once to turn the product on.

NOTE: For first use, you will need to hold the precision
vapour mist trigger (2) for up to one minute before
water vapour is produced from the vapour nozzle (1). It
is normal for the product to make a loud noise during
this process.

Textiles and clothes should carry ironing instructions.
If not, follow the temperature guide above, but test
the temperature by ironing the hem of the garment
or similar discreet area first. It is advised 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 turn the temperature down from a hot setting to
a cooler setting, wait until the temperature indicator
lights (15) have stopped flashing before you continue
ironing.

NOTE: Hold the base with both hands when handling,
moving and storing the unit.

Filling

Never use battery topping up fluid or water
containing any substances like starch, sugar,
fragrant additives or defrosted water from a
refrigerator.

Unlike conventional irons, the ATOMiST vapour iron
is designed for use with tap water.

Re-filling during use:

If you press the precision vapour mist trigger (2), and
the water level is low, the vapour nozzle (1) will flash,
a beep will be heard, and the unit will not produce
vapour. If this happens, remove the water tank (6) and
refill with water (see steps 1 and 2 of ‘Quick Start Guide’
on page 3) and replace the water tank.

NOTE: You can still use your product without vapour.

Features

Dry ironing:

To use your ATOMiST vapour iron as a dry iron only,
follow steps 3, 4 and 6 of ‘Quick Start Guide’ on page

3. You do not need to put water in the tank (6).

Auto shut-off:

If the ATOMiST vapour iron is not used for 10 minutes,
the product will automatically enter standby mode,
both for safety and to save energy.

Wake the product by pressing either the precision
temperature control (4) or the precision vapour mist
trigger which will illuminate the power light (11). The
previous temperature setting will be restored.

Please wait until the temperature indicator lights (15)
stop flashing before resuming ironing.

Emptying and
storing

When you have finished Ironing, press and hold the
precision temperature control (4) for three seconds to
switch the ATOMiST vapour iron into standby.

Unplug and empty all water from the water tank and
place the iron on the base (14). Use the power cable
storage hole (10) to keep the power cable (9) tidy.

NOTE: Do not store the vapour mist cord (12) in the
power cable storage (10), this is for the storage of the
power cable (9) only.

Maintenance

To clean the Thermoglass soleplate:

Wait until cold and use a damp cloth and mild
detergent to wipe over, then wipe dry. Do not spray
detergent directly onto the soleplate.

To remove fibres from the Thermoglass
soleplate:

If any man-made fibres fuse to the Thermoglass
soleplate (3), set the iron to the 3-dot or MAX position
and pass it over a clean piece of cotton to draw the
deposit off the surface.

To clean the exterior:

Allow the unit to cool and wipe over with a damp cloth
and mild detergent, then wipe dry.

Troubleshooting

There is a loud noise when I press the
precision vapour mist trigger (2).

Solution

• This is normal when you operate the product for the

first time as the vapour system is being primed.

• If you hear a loud noise but no vapour is sprayed,

check for blockages as above.

When I press the precision vapour mist
trigger (2), no vapour sprays from the
vapour mist nozzle

(1) but the nozzle

flashes and beeps.

Solution

• Check the water tank (6) is full and the base (14) is

resting on a level surface. The water may be below
the minimum level.

• If the water tank is full, check the water tank is

correctly located in the base.

When I press the precision vapour mist
trigger (2) the nozzle light turns on, I can
hear the pump but no water sprays out
of the vapour mist nozzle (1).

Solution

• There may be a blockage in the vapour system. You

need to remove the vapour mist nozzle (1):

1 Turn the clear nozzle cover anti-clockwise until it is

released.

2 Unscrew the nozzle by rotating it anti-clockwise.

3 Tap the vapour nozzle gently on a hard surface to

remove any loose debris.

4 Plug the product in and press the precision vapour

mist trigger (2) for around 30 seconds to remove any
blockages from the system. Do this over a sink or
suitable container.

NOTE: Water will jet out under high pressure.

Reassemble the vapour nozzle and nozzle cover;
this is a reversal of the removal procedure. Press the
precision vapour mist trigger to test the system. If
the system is still blocked, repeat the process or call
our helpline for further instructions.
