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:
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
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water or steam. Use caution
when using your steam generator. If your
iron is placed for a few moments on the
iron rest plate, this plate may reach very
high temperatures. In this instance, do
not touch the iron soleplate or the iron
rest plate until the iron and the iron rest
have cooled down.
• Do not use the vertical steam feature on
clothes that are being worn.
• Do not leave the steam generator
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 steam generator cool
completely before putting away.
Other safety considerations
• Use the steam generator only for its
intended use.
• Never hold the generator base set under
the tap.
• To protect against the risk of electric
shock do not put the appliance in water
or in any other liquid.
• Always disconnect the tank from the
base unit when filling with water and
emptying.
• Always disconnect the steam generator
from the electrical supply when cleaning
or when not in use.
• Do not operate the steam generator 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.
• If the need arises to change the mains
cable on your steam generator or the
iron, please return to Morphy Richards
service department at the address on the
back page.
Special instructions
• If your steam generator 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).

• 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 steam
generator this could cause internal
damage even if the outside appears
alright. Have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces
may be high when the appliance is
operating.
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).
For appliances with fitted plug.
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.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.

Location
Locate the steam generator horizontally
on the iron rest plate of your ironing board (if
large enough) or on a heat resistant stand at
the same height of your ironing board or
below it. Always ensure the generator is on a
firm surface when ironing.
Before use
Remove any protective sticker from the
soleplate and the cabinet, if any.
When ironing with the steam facility at the
1 dot setting, the steam output should be set
at the lower end of the steam range.
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.
Filling
1 Place the steam generator on a stable
ironing board or table, with the iron resting
on its stand.
2 Remove the detachable water tank by
sliding outwards A.
3 Remove the anti-scale cartridge by pulling
upwards. B

4 Fill the tank upto the
‘fill to here’ line with
clean tap water.
Never use battery
topping up fluid or
water containing
any substances like
starch or sugar, or
defrosted water from a refridgerator.
5 Re-install the anti-scale cartridge and
replace the water tank on the base
unit. C
6 Always pour out remaining water after
use.
Re-filling
1 When the water level reaches a low level,
the pump begins to emit a clicking noise.
This is due to air being pumped instead
of water and is quite normal. Refilling
can be done whilst the appliance is in
operation. It is not necessary to wait for
the appliance to cool down.
2 Slide out the water tank and fill (see
filling instructions).
Steam ironing
1 Unwind and straighten the power cord
· and supply cord fi.
2 Slide out the water tank and fill (see
filling instructions).
3 Connect the appliance to a suitable
mains outlet. The first steam level
indicator  denoted by will light
up indicating maximum steam. The
green power indicator „ will flash until

clockwise direction, select dot-1, dot-2 or
dot-3 according to the recommendation
of the garment label.
6 The iron’s temperature indicator light ›
goes off when the required temperature
is reached.
7 Depress the steam button ⁄ for 1
minute to clear the system of air (first
time use only) which will be
accompanied by a clicking noise which
is quite normal.
8 Begin first time ironing with an old towel.
Note: If you press the steam button
before the steam generator reaches its
required temperature a warning double
bleep will sound. It takes about 1 minute
to reach the required 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.
An auto-shut off system will activate if the
steam is not used for over 15 minutes. The
indicator will flash between green and red
indicating the unit is in ‘sleep mode’. When
this occurs, press the steam button or power
switch once, the appliance will switch on
immediately and you need to select the
required setting.
Anti-scale system
The anti-scale cartridge is designed to
reduce the build-up of limescale which
occurs during steam ironing, this will prolong
the working life of your iron. However, please
note that the anti-scale cartridge will not
completely stop the natural process of
limescale build-up.
Replacing anti-scale medium
How often you need to replace the
medium depends on how often you use your
iron with its steam functions and how ‘hard’
your water supply is. Water hardness varies
greatly from one area to another. For advice
on the relative hardness of your water,
contact your local water supplier.
If, on average you spend 2 hours per
week ironing, then we suggest you replace
your anti-scale medium as shown in the table
below. If you iron more or less frequently
then you should alter the interval between
refills accordingly.
Replacement anti-scale refills
To obtain replacement anti-scale refills
telephone our spares number
on: 0870 167 6646.
1 If a new re-fill is not available you may
continue operating the appliance but scale
will build up in the system. Replace the
anti-scale refill as soon as possible.
2 Disconnect the appliance from the mains
outlet.
3 Slide out the tank and remove the anti-
scale cartridge as shown D.
4 Pull the plate from the end
of the cartridge E.
5 Remove the foam pad F
and slide out the spent
anti-scale sleeve G.
6 Place the refill into the
cartridge, reposition the
foam pad and clip the
plate onto the cartridge
making sure it locks in
position.
Features of your
steam generator
Temperature indicator light
The indicator light shows
that the iron is warming up.
When the required
temperature is reached the light will go out
and will cycle on-off during operation.
Steam function
During the steaming process, small
amounts of water may be ejected from the
soleplate. This is normal and can be avoided
by using the steam for short amounts of time
and only when the iron is at the correct
temperature (the indicator light on the iron
goes out when ready).
Sudden jolts of the boiler unit can also
cause water droplets on the soleplate;
therefore do not move the base unit during
ironing. We recommend for the first time
ironing that you iron over an old towel.

Vertical steam
Hold the iron in a vertical position
between 1cm and 2cm away from the item
H. Press the steam button ⁄, this will create
vertical steam. This feature is especially
useful for removing creases from hanging
clothes, curtains, wall hangings, etc.
Emptying and storing
When you have finished ironing, unplug
your iron.
1 Slide out the water tank and remove the
anti-scale cartridge I.
2 Empty the water in the tank by holding it
upside down J.
3 Replace the anti-scale cartridge and
reinstall the water tank.
Unplug the generator and leave the iron to
cool off for 15 minutes minimum. The iron
must be placed on the iron rest plate.
The iron and boiler can now be stored
together.
Maintenance
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 manufacturers
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 the exterior
Allow the steam generator to cool and
wipe over with a damp cloth and mild
detergent, then wipe with a dry cloth.
