When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1 Read all the instructions.
2 Use the iron only for its intended use.
3 To protect against the risk of electric shock do not put the appliance in water or in any other liquid.
4 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
NEVER ALLOW A CHILD TO USE
THIS PRODUCT.
5 The socket should always be off before plugging or unplugging from the socket. Never yank the cord to disconnect from socket, instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
6 Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around the iron before storing.
7 Always disconnect the iron from the electrical socket when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
8 Do not use outdoors.
9 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.
10 Do not use the vertical steam feature on clothes that are being worn.
11 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.
12 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.
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 not 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 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.

1 Make sure that the iron is not plugged in and then set the variable steam control to the
“0” position before filling the iron with water.
2 Fill the water through the filling hole into the water tank , using the beaker provided. In hard water areas the use of distilled or demineralised water is recommended.
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.

Note : The steam facility should only be used on garments which are suitable for ironing at the

Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry ironing instructions. If they don’t you should follow the fabric guide on the rear of the iron, 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.
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 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.

Temperature indicator light
The 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 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 provided 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
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
Fill the iron with water as described in
“Filling”, page 4 and insert the plug into the electrical socket.
Turn the temperature control dial , to the
“steam” position shown as and rest the iron on it’s heel whilst it warms up.
Turn the variable steam control to give the desired amount of steam .
The steam facility should only be used on garments which are suitable for ironing at the 3 dot 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, providing there is water in the tank, and the temperature control is set to the steam position.
Do not use shot of steam at temperatures below the steam position shown on the control.
Note : For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.
Vertical steam
(certain models only)
Hold the iron in a vertical position between
1 cm and 2 cm away from the item. 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.
No drip system (certain models only)
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.
When you have finished ironing, unplug your iron. Ensure that the variable steam control
is set at the “0” position 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.
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 its heel.
5
Self cleaning
Your iron will give the best ironing results and last longer if you apply “self-cleaning” once a month to remove any scale, fluff etc.
Fill the iron as described in the section of
‘How to fill water’. Fill the water tank up to half full. Place the iron on a flat surface in a standing position.
Connect to a mains supply outlet.
Turn the temperature dial in a clockwise direction to the maximum setting. When the temperature indicator light goes off for the second time, turn the temperature dial in an anticlockwise direction to ‘min’.
Disconnect the iron from the mains outlet and hold the iron horizontally over a sink. Push and hold the variable steam control dial to the self cleaning position.
Steam and boiling water will emit from the holes on the soleplate washing away scale and mineral deposits in the steam chamber. Gently move the iron back and forward until the water tank is empty. When the self cleaning is complete, release the variable steam control.
To clean the stainless steel soleplate
(certain models only)
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 manufacturers instructions.
To clean off melted man-made fibres set the iron at 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 only)
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 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.
