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: 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 plug and pull to disconnect.

WARNING: Danger to the person!

IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance! In addition we offer the following safety advice.

Do not use outdoors.

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

Children do not understand the dangers associated with operating electrical appliances. Never allow children to use this appliance.

40655-65MEE-Turbosteam

Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away.

Loop cord loosely around the iron before storing.

with a bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet.

Where used, should the fuse in the 13amp plug require changing,a 13 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

Other safety considerations

Use the iron only for its intended use.

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

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped, damaged or 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.

IMPORTANT: When not in use, the iron should never be left flat on an ironing board.

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.

To prevent damage to a textile being ironed, follow the temperature guide carefully and test the inside of the hem of the garment.

When placing the iron on its heel, ensure that the surface on which the heel is placed is stable

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.

Always pour out the remaining water after use.

In hard water areas the use of distilled or demineralised water is recommended. IMPORTANT: Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any substances like starch, or sugar, or defrosted water from a refridgerator. WARNING: When filling the iron with tap water always use the beaker provided. Never fill directly under the tap.

WARNING : The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed as a plug

40655-65MEE-Turbosteam

Plug in the iron and switch on at the mains. The ‘power on’ indicator lights „ located in the back cover will illuminate.

Any temperature setting may be used depending on the garment.

The spray feature may be used provided there is water in the tank.

Set the temperature control dial ‡ to the temperature required, but don’t start ironing immediately. The indicator light under the control dial shows that the iron is warming up.

After a few minutes the iron will stabilise at the required temperature and the indicator light will go out. It will cycle on-off during operation to show that the iron is maintaining the selected temperature. 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. If you do adjust the temperature from a hot setting to a cooler setting, wait until the iron temperature has stabilised before you continue ironing.

The steam output can be varied from low to high by sliding the variable steam control. •

It is recommended that you use up one beaker of water by operating the iron’s steam and shot-of-steam functions before ironing any clothes as some dripping may occur while the iron’s steam system is activated.

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

When ironing with the steam facility at the 2 dot setting, the steam output should be set at the low end of the steam range.

Press the shot-of-steam button ⁄ to obtain a burst of extra steam for ironing out creases in heavy material such as denim etc.

You do not need to fill the iron with water. Set the variable steam control to the ‘O’ symbol.

Temperature/fabric guide

Heat setting markings on the iron match those of the International Textile Care Labelling Code. Textiles and clothes should carry ironing instructions, but if they don’t, follow this fabric guide. Be sure to test the temperature by ironing the hem of the garment or similar area first. Symbol Cool (120˚C max)

Nylon, Acetates e.g. Acrilan

Courtelle, Orlon Triacetates, e.g. Tricel/Polyester

Wool, Polyester mixtures e.g. Polyester/Cotton

If moisture required use damp cloth (not Acetate)

Control knob positions

Without water in tank

Fabrics requiring this setting usually require steam pressing for heavy cotton, denim etc.

Steam/spray/shot-of-steam Jet clean

40655-65MEE-Turbosteam

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.

If the iron is left unattended in the horizontal position it will shut down after 30 seconds.

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

Do not use shot-of-steam at temperatures below the steam range shown on the control dial.

When this happens the two ‘power on’ lights, located in the back cover will flash to show that the iron is in power-off mode.

For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.

To reactivate the iron gently shake it until the ‘power on’ lights stop flashing and remain on.

The iron will then start to heat back up to the temperature it is set to.

Hold the iron in a vertical position between 1cm and 2cm away from the item C. Press the shot-ofsteam button, this will create vertical steam.

Life long anti-scale system (certain models only)

This feature is especially useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings, etc.

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

For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.

Emptying and storing

D When you have finished ironing, unplug your iron. Ensure that the variable steam control is set at the

‘O’ position, lift up the fill cap and empty any remaining water out of the filling hole.

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.

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.

(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.

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. Jet clean should be used after each period of ironing.

(certain models only) If the iron is fitted with the auto shut-off function it will automatically shut down after a set period.

Ensuring 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.

40655-65MEE-Turbosteam

Press the shot-of-steam button about 10 times in succession.

Empty out any remaining water.

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

To clean a 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 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 an aluminium soleplate (certain models only)

To keep the soleplate 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.

Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

If your iron doesn't work

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.

If the iron does not work, check the following:

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.
