becomes damaged the
cable assembly must be
replaced. Do not attempt
this task yourself, contact

page.
Personal safety
••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.
• 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.
• The socket should always
be off before plugging or
unplugging from the
socket. Never yank the
cord to disconnect from
the socket, instead, grasp
plug and pull to
disconnect.
• Do not allow the cord to
touch hot surfaces. Let the
iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord
loosely around the iron
before storing.
• The iron must be used and
rested on a stable surface
• When placing the iron on
its heel, ensure that the
surface on which the iron is
placed is stable.
• The iron is not to be used if
it has been dropped, if
there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
Other safety
considerations
• Use the iron only for its
intended use.
• 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
or damaged. To avoid the
risk of electric shock, do
not disassemble the iron,
but telephone Morphy

shock when the iron is
used.
Children
• Close supervision is
necessary when any
appliance is used near
children.
Special
instructions
• 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).
•W
WARNING: When not in
use, your iron should
never be placed flat
and left on an ironing
board.
• 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,
turn off the steam selector
switch, 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.

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.

the position before filling the iron
with water.

2Lift up the filler cap and fill the
tank ‡‡with water through the
filling hole ‰‰, using the beaker
provided (300ml). AAÂÂAfter
filling replace the filler cap. In
hard water areas the use of
distilled or demineralised water
is recommended.
WWARNING: Never use
battery topping up fluid or
water containing any
substances like starch, or
sugar, or defrosted water
from a refrigerator.
3Always pour out the remaining
water after use.
WWARNING: When filling
your iron with tap water
always use the beaker
provided. Never fill directly
under the tap.
TEMPERATURE
CONTROL BB
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 flflwhich 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.
FEATURES OF YOUR
IRON
Temperature indicator
light
The indicator light flflshows 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
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 CC
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

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 (2-DOT) shown on the
control dial.
Note: For optimum steam
quality, do not operate the shot
more than three times in
succession.
Vertical steam
Hold the iron in a vertical
position between 1cm and 2cm
away from the item EE. Press
the shot of steam button fifi,
this will create vertical steam.
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.
If the iron is left unattended in
the horizontal position it will
shut down after 1 minute. When
this occurs, the indicator light
will flash and a beep will be
heard.
If it is left in the vertical position
it will shut down after 8 minutes.
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.
LIFE LONG ANTI-
SCALE SYSTEM
(certain models only)
The life long anti-scale system
reduces 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 FF..
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 GG..
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. The iron
must be cool before winding the
flex and storing on its heel.

scale and minerals that have
built up inside the Steam
Chamber.
113Gently move the iron back and

empty.
114When Self-Cleaning is complete,
release the Self-Cleaning button.
115Rest your steam iron back on its

down.
116Wipe the soleplate with a cold
damp cloth.
WWARNING: 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 with a damp cloth and mild
detergent, then wipe with a dry
cloth.
