Getting the best from your new iron...

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.

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. Jet cleaning (certain models only) Your iron will give the best ironing results and will last longer if you apply jet cleaning after each period of ironing. Self cleaning (certain models only) Your iron will give the best ironing results and will last longer if you clean the soleplate once a month.

The use of any electrical appliance requires the following common sense safety rules.

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

Do not use outdoors.

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.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

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).

Control knob positions

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

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.

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 irons steam system is activated.

Heat setting markings on the adjustable control dial of all Morphy Richards irons match those of the International Textile Care Labelling Code.

Lift up the fill cap and fill the water through the filling hole › into the water tank ·, using the beaker provided A. After filling replace the fill cap. In hard water areas the use of distilled or demineralised water is recommended.

WARNING: When filling your iron with tap water always use the beaker provided. Never fill directly under the tap.

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.

A Features of your iron

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.

When ironing with the steam facility at the 2 dot setting, the steam output should be set at the lower end of the steam range (see variable steam section).

Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry ironing instructions. If they don’t you should follow the temperature guide on the previous page, 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 B 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.

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.

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. The steam output can be varied from low to high by turning the variable steam control C. When using the iron at 2-Dot, the steam output should be adjusted to the low setting. The steam facility should only be used on garments which are suitable for ironing at 2 and 3 dot setting.

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. Do not use shot of steam at temperatures below the steam range shown on the control dial. Note: For optimum steam quality, do not operate the shot more than three times in succession.

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

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

Press and hold down the

Self-Cleaning button Â.

Self cleaning G To reactivate the iron gently shake it, the temperature indicator light will come on indicating the iron is warming up and wait for the iron to heat-up as normal.

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 E.

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 F.

The iron must be cool before winding the flex and storing on its heel.

To operate, ensure that there is little water in the tank, place the iron on its heel and turn the temperature control dial to the maximum setting.

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

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. The ‘jet clean’ should be operated after each period of ironing.

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.

Life long anti-scale system (certain models only)

(certain models only)

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

The indicator light will flash until the required temperature is reached.

To clean the exterior

Disconnect the iron from the mains supply outlet.
