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.

IRON Temperature indicator light The indicator light fl shows that

he 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 steam to dry iron selector switch ⁄ is set to the 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

• Soleplate ‚ Self-clean button „ Spray nozzle ‰ Filling hole with cap  Filler cup (300ml) 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.

ress and hold down the Self-

leaning button. 12 Steam and boiling hot water will

rain from the holes in the the soleplate washing away the scale and minerals that have built up inside the Steam Chamber. 13 Gently move the iron back and forth

ntil the water tank is empty. 14 When Self-Cleaning is complete, release the Self-Cleaning button. 15 Rest your steam iron back on its heel and allow to fully cool down. 16 Wipe the soleplate with a cold damp cloth.

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 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

ith a damp cloth and mild

This feature is especially useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, wall hanging, 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 (certain models only) If your iron is fitted with the auto shut-off function it will automatically shut down after a set period.

SYSTEM (certain models only) The life long anti-scale system

educes scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron. EMPTYING AND STORING When you have finished ironing, unplug your iron. Ensure that the steam to dry iron selector switch

is set at the position, lift up the fill cap and empty any remaining water out of the filling hole
