IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
1Read all instructions.
2Use the iron only for its intended use.
3To protect against a risk of electric
shock, do not immerse the iron in
water or other liquids.
4The power socket should always be
switched off before plugging or
unplugging from outlet. Never yank
cord to disconnect from outlet;
instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
5Do not allow cord to touch hot
surfaces. Let iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop cord loosely
around iron when storing.
6Always disconnect iron from electrical
outlet when filling with water or
emptying, and when not in use.
7Do 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.
8 Place all electrical appliances out
of the reach of children. Close
supervision is necessary for an
appliance being used near children.
9Do not leave the iron unattended
whilst plugged in or on an ironing
board. Never allow the power cord
to overhang the work surface.
10 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 reservoir.
SPECIAL
INSTRUCTIONS
1If 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 in use, your iron
should never be placed flat and
left on an ironing board.
3To prevent damage to the textile being
ironed, follow the temperature guide
carefully. (Test the inside of the hem of
the garment).
4When ironing is complete, remove the
plug from the socket, empty any
remaining water from the tank, and
allow to cool before storing.
5If 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.
6It is recommended that you use up one
beaker of water by operating your
iron’s steam function before ironing
any clothes as some dripping may
occur while your iron’s steam system
is activated.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

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.
WARNING: The plug removed from the
mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed as a
plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if
engaged into a live socket outlet.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE EARTHED
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require
replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse must be

Before use
Note: The Steam facility should only be used
on garments which are suitable for ironing at the
3 dot setting.
Textiles and clothes are supposed to carry
ironing instructions. If they don’t you should
follow the temperature 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.
Filling
Before filling your iron make sure that it is not
plugged in and ensure that the iron is in the
‘steam off’ position. To do this slide the steam
button into the ‘down’ position E.
Grasp the iron by the handle and fill as shown
A, using the beaker provided.
Your iron has a large 250ml water tank. Your
iron has been specially designed for use with tap
water. Never use battery topping up fluid or
water containing any substances such as starch or
sugar, or defrosted water from a refrigerator. In
hard water areas the use of distilled or
demineralised water is recommended. Warning:
When filling your iron with tap water
always use your beaker. Never fill directly
under the tap.
Temperature control
Plug in the iron and
switch on. Set the heat
control dial Bto 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.
For the correct temperature always set the
control dial with the required setting at the
bottom of the dial nearest the front of the iron.
Features of your iron
Temperature indicator light
The temperature 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 steam control is off E. Any
temperature setting may be used depending on
the garment. The spray feature (if fitted) 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 (certain models only)
Press the spray button Cand aim 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.

Steam ironing
Ensure that the temperature control dial is set
in the steam range Band that there is water in
the tank. Rest the iron on its heel and let it heat
up. Before you start ironing, slide the steam
button up to the steam
position D.
If you need to refill the
water tank during use, unplug
the iron and follow the filling
instructions taking care not to
spill any water over the iron.
Emptying and storing
When you have finished
ironing unplug your iron.
Ensure that the steam button
is down, in the ‘Steam off’
position Eand empty any
remaining water out of the
filler hole F.
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. Your
iron has a cable tidy feature.
To clean an aluminium soleplate
To keep the soleplate of your iron 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.
To clean the exterior
Allow to cool and wipe over with a damp
soapy cloth, then dry with a clean dry cloth.
