LOCATION
Locate the steam generator
horizontally on the rest plate of
your ironing board (if large
enough) or on a heat resistant
stand at the same height as
your ironing board or below it.
Always ensure the generator is
on a firm surface when ironing.
WARNING: Do not use the
product on a surface which
could be damaged by heat or
steam such as a worktop or
a polished wood surface.
If in doubt, contact Morphy
Richards.

from the soleplate and the base
unit, if any.

fill (see filling instructions).
When ironing with the iron
temperature set at 2-dot
setting, the steam output
should be set at the lower end
of the steam range (on certain
models only).
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.
