IM PORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 power socket should always be
switched 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 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.
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.
10Do not leave the iron unattended
whilst plugged in or on an ironing board. Never allow the power cord
to overhang the work surface.
11Burns 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 storing. 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 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
iron’s steam system is activated.

Before use
Note: The Steam facility should only be used on garments which are suitable for ironing at 2 and 3 dot settings. (Garments marked with 2 dot recommendation should, if required, be ironed 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 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 control dial down from a hot setting to a 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 and ensure that the iron is in the ‘steam off’ position. To do this slide the steam button to the ‘down’ position E/F.
Remove the water tank cap and hold the iron by the handle. Fill using the beaker provided A.
Your iron has a large capacity tank which can hold 2 beakers of water. After filling, replace the water tank cap to prevent any water escaping from the tank during ironing B. 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. In hard water areas the use of distilled or demineralised water is recommended. Warning: When filling your
iron with tap water always use your beaker. Never fill directly under the tap.
Temperature control
Plug in the iron and switch on. Set the temperature control dial C 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 your are ironing. This is perfectly normal as it shows that the iron is maintaining the heat setting you have chosen.
For the correct temperature always set the control dial with the required setting at the bottom of the dial nearest the back of the iron.
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. Make sure the steam control is off. Any temperature setting may be used depending on the garment. The spray feature (if fitted) may be used provided there is water in the tank (see filling section). The shot of steam feature (if fitted) may also be used provided the temperature control dial is set to the steam range C. You do not need to put any water in the tank when dry ironing only.
Spray (certain models only)
Press the spray button and aim spray of water at stubborn creases. The grey region shows the spray button on different models D. 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.
Steam ironing
Ensure that the temperature control dial is set in the steam range C and that there is water in the tank.
Rest the iron on its heel and allow to heat up.
Before you start ironing, slide the steam button up, to the steam position E.
If you need to refill the water tank during use, unplug the iron and follow the filling instructions taking care not to spill any water over the iron.
Variable steam (certain models only)
If your iron is fitted with variable steam, the steam output can be varied from low to high. Simply slide the variable steam button up or down F.
The high position is for ironing stubborn creases
The mid position is for normal ironing
The low position switches the steam off.
Shot of steam ironing (certain models only)
Press the shot of steam button G 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 in the steam range. Do not use shot of steam at temperatures below the steam range shown on the control.
Vertical steam facility (certain models only)
Hold the iron in a vertical position between 1cm to 2cm away from the item H. Press the shot of steam button G, this will create vertical steam. This feature is especially useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings, etc.
Auto shut-off (certain models only)
If your iron is an ‘auto shut-off’ model it will automatically turn your iron off within 60 seconds of not being used. Grasping the iron by its handle will turn it on again. If the iron is below the temperature set on the temperature control dial, the temperature indicator light will illuminate until the iron reaches the set temperature.
AUTO SHUT-OFF IS NOT AN ALTERNATIVE TO UNPLUGGING THE IRON WHEN NOT IN USE.

Emptying and storing
When you have finished ironing unplug your iron. Ensure that the steam button is in the ‘Steam off’ position and empty any remaining water out of the filler hole I. Remember to replace the water tank cap before storing.
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. Your iron has a cable tidy feature.
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 J.
Maintenance
Jet cleaning
Shot of Steam models have a built in cleaning system designed to keep the water tank, 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 there is a little water in the tank, place the iron on its heel. Having turned the temperature control dial to its maximum position, wait for the indicator light to go out, then unplug the iron and hold it about 6" (150mm) above the sink in the ironing position and push the shot of steam button G about 10 times in succession. After this cleaning operation, empty out any remaining water.
To clean an aluminium soleplate
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean and free of limescale, make a paste of mild scouring powder and a little water. Apply a small amount to the soleplate, rub and then remove with a damp cloth. Wipe thoroughly with a clean cloth.
To clean a mirror finished soleplate
If your iron has been fitted with a polished or mirror finished soleplate for easier ironing please follow the cleaning instructions below:
To keep the soleplate of your iron clean and free of limescale we recommend that you use one of the gentle chrome or silver cleaners generally available, and always follow the manufacturers instructions on the container. To clean off melted on man-made fibre set the iron to the 3 dot position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off the surface.
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 soapy cloth, then dry with a clean dry cloth.
