Getting the best from your

new iron....

Safety first

Caution must be used when
handling this appliance as it does
get very hot. Always switch off the
unit and allow to cool before
cleaning or storing.

Self cleaning button

BEFORE USE

Sort out the items to be ironed
according to the type of fabric. This
will minimise the frequency of
temperature adjustment for different
garments.

Note: The steam facility should only
be used on garments which are
suitable for ironing at the 2 and 3
dot settings.

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.

Delicate fabrics such as silk,
wool,velour, etc, are best ironed
with an ironing cloth to prevent
shine marks.

TEMPERATURE
CONTROL

Plug in the iron and switch on. Set
the temperature control dial ¤ 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 fl 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.
