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
• 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, 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.
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.
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 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.
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.

Before use
Note: The steam facility should only be
used on garments which are suitable for
ironing at the 2 and 3 dot settings.
When ironing with the steam facility at the
2 dot setting, the steam output should be set
at the lower end of the steam range (see
variable steam section).
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 Make sure that the iron is not plugged in
and then set the variable steam control ⁄
to the ‘0’ position before filling the iron
with water.
2 Lift up the fill cap and fill the water
through the filling hole › into the water
tank ·, using the beaker provided. A
After filling replace the fill cap. In hard
water areas the use of distilled or
demineralised water is recommended.
WARNING: Never use battery topping
up fluid or water containing any
substances like starch, or sugar, or
defrosted water from a refridgerator.
3 Always pour out the remaining water after
use. WARNING: When filling your iron
with tap water always use the beaker
provided. Never fill directly under the
tap.
Temperature control
Plug in the iron and switch on. Set the
temperature control dial B 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 ‚ which 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 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.
Dry ironing
You can use your iron as a dry iron only.
Make sure the variable steam control ⁄ is
set to the ‘0’ 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
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.
Variable steam
Fill the iron with water as described in
‘Filling’, page 4 and insert the plug into the
electrical socket.
The steam output can be varied from
low to high by sliding the variable steam
control C. When using the iron at the
bottom of the steam range, the steam
output should be adjusted to the lowest
setting.
The steam facility should only be used
on garments which are suitable for ironing
at 2 and 3 dot setting.
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.
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
D. Press the shot of steam button ¤, this
will create vertical steam. This feature is
especially useful for removing creases from
hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings,
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.
Emptying and storing
When you have
finished ironing,
unplug your iron.
Ensure that the
variable steam
control is set at the
‘0’ position, lift up
the fill cap and
empty any remaining
water out of the filling hole.
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.
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.
Maintenance
To clean a stainless steel
or anodised 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 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 iron to cool and wipe over with
a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe
with a dry cloth.
