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 if irritation persists.
15 If the granules come into accidental
contact with the skin, remove particles and wash with water.
16 Do not remove the anti-scale cartridge
from the iron, unless the tank is empty.
17 When filling, ensure that the iron is
disconnected from electrical outlet, and that the cartridge is inserted correctly.

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.
