Frequently Asked Questions - 720022 MORPHY RICHARDS

What type of water should I use in this steam cleaner?

Use only deionised, demineralised or distilled water (available from most large supermarkets), or Morphy Richards' Water Softener (790002). Do not use tap water as it can cause limescale buildup and damage the boiler.

Can I use the steam cleaner on hardwood floors?

No, the steam cleaner should not be used on bare wooden floors or any surfaces where wood is exposed, as moisture may be absorbed and cause distortion. For sealed wood and laminate flooring, use the low steam setting and do not make the floor overly wet.

How do I descale the steam cleaner?

To prevent limescale, always use deionised, demineralised or distilled water. The manual does not describe a descaling procedure, but recommends using only the correct water to avoid buildup. If limescale occurs, it may not be covered under guarantee.

Can I add chemical detergents or perfumes to the water?

No, do not use any chemical detergents, perfumes, alcohol or descaler in the water. Only use water as recommended. Using other fluids can be dangerous and damage the heating element.

How do I refill the water tank during use?

Switch off, unplug from the mains, and release all steam by pressing the steam trigger until no more steam comes out. Leave the steamer to cool for a few minutes. Then unscrew the filler cap (if pressure remains, press the red button on the cap) and refill with water. Do not overfill beyond 1 litre.

How should I store the steam cleaner?

After use, empty the water tank and allow it to dry before replacing the filler cap. Store accessories in the on-board tool storage cart. Wind the power cord using the cord storage facility on the bottom of the cart. Keep the appliance in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.

Can I use this steam cleaner on carpets?

Yes, for carpets, attach the carpet glider to the floorhead. Do not keep the floorhead in one place for too long as the heat may damage carpets. Use appropriate steam setting and avoid over-wetting.

What should I do if the steam trigger is locked or stuck?

The steam trigger lock (12) prevents accidental steam release. To operate the trigger, press the lock to unlock it. If the trigger is still stuck, ensure the appliance is off and cool, then check for blockages. Do not force the trigger.

How do I clean the cloths (floor cloth and upholstery cloth)?

The cloths can be machine washed at a maximum temperature of 40°C. For heavy soiling, soak in warm water and detergent or a mild stain remover. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Allow cloths to dry completely before storing.

How do I register for the extended 2-year warranty?

Your product has a standard 1-year guarantee. To extend to 2 years, register online at www.morphyrichards.co.uk within 28 days of purchase, or call UK 0344 871 0242. Keep your receipt as proof of purchase. This extension is only available in the UK and Ireland.

Operating the appliance

IMPORTANT: The pressurised steam is at a high temperature. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Never use it on objects or surfaces which cannot resist this temperature, or on surfaces with coatings or polishes, or on delicate materials such as dralon, plastic, natural fur or antique items etc. If in doubt, check carefully on a part of the material where minor marks will not matter.

Steam cleaning floors

IMPORTANT: The steam cleaner should not be used on:

- bare wooden floors or any surfaces where wood is exposed (as the surface will absorb moisture and may distort).

- damaged hardfloors or hardfloors with gaps present (as the flooring will absorb moisture and may distort). Additionally, do not keep the floorhead (23) in one place for an extended period because the continual heat may cause damage to carpets and some hardfloor types such as laminate flooring.

- Use the low steam setting on sealed wood and laminate flooring, do not make the floor overly wet.

- Use the medium steam setting on tiled flooring, do not make the floor overly wet.

- Use the high steam setting on stubborn marks and dirt.

Lock the trigger (see step 6 of "Steam Cleaning Floors" on page 6) and allow the cloth or attachment to cool before removing.
