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 or near water.

• The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.

Children

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.

• Children do not understand the dangers associated with operating electrical appliances.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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 the plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop the cord loosely around the iron before storing.

• The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.

• When placing the iron on it’s heel, ensure that the surface on which the heel is placed is stable.

Other safety considerations

• Use the iron only for it’s intended use.

• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical socket when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord, or if the iron has been dropped or damaged and if there are visible signs of damage, or if it is leaking. 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 it’s 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 iron’s 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

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

3 dot and MAX setting.

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 adjust the temperature selection button  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.

FILLING

A

1 Make sure that the iron is not plugged in, then set the steam selector switch

‹ to the ‘0’ position before filling the iron with water.

2 Lift up the filler cap › and pour water through the hole into the water tank ‚

‚ , using the beaker provided

350ml of water fills the tank. 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 refrigerator.

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.

FEATURES OF YOUR

IRON

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, providing 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

C

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

D

Fill the iron with water, as described in ‘Filling’ on page 4, and insert the plug into the electrical socket.

Increase temperature

Decrease temperature

The steam output can be varied from low to high by moving the variable steam control D .

The steam facility should only be used on garments which are suitable for ironing at the 3 dot and MAX setting.

Shot of steam

E

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.

‡

Vertical steam

F

Hold the iron in a vertical position between 1cm and 2cm away from the item F . 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.

Auto shut-off

Your iron is fitted with the auto shut-off function, it will automatically shut down after a set period. The ‘safety switch off’ LED will flash on the function panel.

If the iron is left unattended in the horizontal position, it will shut down after 1 minute.

If it is left in the vertical position, it will shut down after 8 minutes.

To reactivate the iron, gently shake it and wait for the iron to heat-up as normal.

Life long anti-scale system

The life long anti-scale system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.

MAINTENANCE

Self cleaning

G

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.

1 Half fill the iron with water.

2 Place the iron on it’s heel.

3 Connect to a mains supply outlet.

4 Set the temperature control to

‘MAX’. See ‘Temperature control’ on page 5.

5 The indicator LED will flash until the required temperature is reached.

6 The indicator LED remains ‘on’ when the selected temperature is attained.

7 Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet.

8 Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.

9 Press and hold down the

Self-clean button ‡ .

10 Steam and boiling hot water will drain from the holes in the soleplate, washing away the scale and minerals that have built up inside the Steam

Chamber.

11 Gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.

12 When cleaning is complete,

‡ .

13 Rest your steam iron back on it’s heel and allow to fully cool down.

14 Wipe the soleplate with a cold, damp cloth.

After this cleaning operation, empty out any remaining water.

WARNING: Keep hands and body away from the hot water.

WARNING: Do not attempt to descale the soleplate with descaling products.

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 man-made fibres, 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.

To clean a coated soleplate

(certain models)

In the unlikely event of any manmade 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 cause damage to the coating.

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.

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 H .

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 it’s heel I .
