IM PORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using your iron, basic safety
precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1 Read all instructions.
2 Use the iron only for its intended use.
3 To protect against a risk of electric shock,
do not immerse the iron in water or
other liquids.
4 The outlet should always be turned to Off
before plugging or unplugging from outlet.
Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
5 Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Let iron cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around iron
when storing.
6 Always disconnect iron from electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying,
and when not in use.
7 Do not operate 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.
8 Do not use the vertical steam feature on
clothes that are being worn.
9 Place all electrical appliances out of
the reach of children. Close
supervision is necessary for an appliance
being used near children.
10 Do not leave the iron unattended whilst
plugged in or on an ironing board. Never
allow the mains lead to overhang the
work surface.
11 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 reservoir.
Special Instructions
1 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)
2 Warning: When in use, your iron
should never be placed flat and left
on an ironing board.
3 To prevent damage to the textile being
ironed, follow the temperature guide
carefully. (Test the inside of the hem of
the garment).
4 When ironing is complete, remove the
plug from the socket, empty any remaining
water from the tank, and allow to cool
before storage.
5 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.
6 It is recommended that you use up to 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 the steam system is activated.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Anti-scale models only
12Keep the anti-scale granules out of
reach of children.
13 Wipe up spilt anti-scale granules
immediately.
14 If the granules come into accidental
contact with the eyes, flush them with
water for at least 15 minutes and
remove all particles. Consult a physician

Before Use
NOTE: The steam facility should only be used
on garments which are suitable for ironing at 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 temperature 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
temperature control dial down from a hot setting
to cooler setting, wait until the iron temperature
has stabilised before you continue ironing.
Filling
Before filling your iron make sure that it is not
plugged in. Open the filling cover and hold the iron
by the handle. Fill using the beaker provided A.
Your iron has a large capacity which can hold 2
beakers of water. After filling, close the filling
cover to prevent any water escaping from the tank
during ironing.
Your iron has been specially designed for use
with tap water. Never use battery topping-up fluid
or water containing any substances such as starch
or sugar, or defrosted water from a refrigerator. If
you live in a hard water area, and your iron is not
fitted with an anti-scale device, the use of distilled
or demineralised water is recommended.
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 iron is fitted
with a temperature control 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.

Features of your iron
Temperature indicator light
The temperature 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 by
setting the steam control to the ‘off’ position. 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). The
shot of steam feature may also be used provided
there is water in the tank and the temperature
control dial is set within the steam range B.
Spray
Press the spray button and aim
spray of water at stubborn creases.
When using the water spray it may
be necessary to push the button a
few times to get the spray pump
primed.
Steam ironing
Ensure that the temperature control dial is set
within the steam range B and that there is water
in the tank.
Rest the iron on its heel and allow to heat up.
Before you start ironing, rotate the variable steam
control to the desired level (see below).
Variable steam
The steam output can be varied from low to
high by rotating 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.
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,
provided there is water in the tank and the
temperature control dial is set within the steam
range.
Do not use the shot of steam at temperatures
below the steam range.
The shot of steam feature should not be used
continuously.
Vertical steam (certain models only)
Hold the iron in a vertical position between 1
to 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: The vertical steam feature will work for
approximately four presses of the shot of steam
button. After this, you will need to turn the iron
to the horizontal position, and back to the vertical
position to refill the vertical steam reservoir. The
vertical steam feature can then be used again.
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.

Anti-scale system
(certain models only)
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 antiscale cartridge will not completely stop the natural
process of limescale build-up.
Using your anti-scale iron for the first time
If you are using your iron for the first time you
will notice that there are no anti-scale granules
present in the anti-scale cartridge. To keep the
granules in optimum working condition they are
stored in an air-tight container located in the
packaging of your iron. To activate the anti-scale
system you must fill the anti-scale cartridge with
granules, as described below.
Filling/Refilling your anti-scale cartridge
1 Empty any remaining
water from the tank,
(see emptying and
storing section).
2 Remove the anti-scale
cartridge from the
iron by turning it anti-
clockwise a quarter of
a turn and pulling it out E.
3 Remove the cartridge lid
as follows: hold the
cartridge upright and
gently squeeze it by the
retaining lugs. Gently pull
off the lid F. If you are re-
filling, dispose of the used
granules then rinse the
cartridge under the cold
tap to remove any that
remain.
4 Remove the anti-scale
granule container from
its packaging and take
off the lid.
5 Fit the neck into the
cartridge and gently pour
in all of the granules G.
You may need to gently tap
the bottom of the container
to get all of the granules out.
6 Replace the lid back on the
cartridge by aligning the holes
with their lugs and pressing
down until it clicks shut on
both sides H.
7 Rinse the cartridge under the
cold water tap to remove any
loose granules which may be
on the outside surface. (Any
granules entering the iron
may harm it).
8 Insert the cartridge back in its
hole. Push it in as far as
possible making sure it is
aligned as shown J. Turn it
clockwise until the pointer
aligns with the marker on the
iron and it is closed flush tight
K.
9 Your iron is now ready to use
and the water tank can be
filled.
Refilling intervals
How often you need to refill your anti-scale
cartridge 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 refill your anti-scale
cartridge as shown in the table below. If you iron
more or less frequently then you should alter the
interval between refills accordingly.
Emptying and storing
When you
have finished
ironing, unplug
your iron and empty any
remaining water out of the
filler hole L.
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 using the
cord clip to keep the flex in
place. The iron must be cool
before winding the flex and
storing on its heel M.
Maintenance
Jet cleaning
Your iron has a built-in cleaning system
designed to keep the water valve, steam chamber
and steam vents clear of lint and loose mineral
deposits. The ‘jet clean’ should be operated after
each period of ironing.
To operate, ensure that there is a little water
in the tank, place the iron on its heel and turn the
temperature control dial to the maximum setting.
Wait for the temperature indicator light to go out,
then unplug the iron and hold it about 6"(150mm)
above the sink in the ironing position. Press the
shot of steam button about 10 times in succession.
After this cleaning operation, empty out any
remaining water.
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-on man-made fibres, follow
the instructions below, ‘to clean a coated
soleplate’.
To clean a coated soleplate
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 damage the coating.
To clean the exterior
Allow to cool and wipe over with a damp cloth
and mild detergent, then dry with a clean dry
cloth.
