temperaturecontrol dial tothe temperature
required,but don’t startironing immediately. If
you wait a few minutes, the iron will stabilise at
therequired setting. YourMorphy Richardsiron
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.

1 cm and 2 cm away from the item. 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.
No drip system (certain models only)

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.

Whenyouhavefinished ironing, unplug your
iron.Ensure that thevariable steam control
is set at the “0” position and empty any

To clean the 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 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 with a
damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe with
a dry cloth.
