Before use
Note: The steam facility should only be
used on garments which are suitable for
ironing at the 2 and 3 dot settings.
When ironing with the steam facility at the
2 dot setting, the steam output should be set
at the lower end of the steam range (see
variable steam section).
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.
Filling

Make sure that the iron is not plugged in
and then set the variable steam control
⁄
to the ‘0’ position before filling the iron
with water.

through the filling hole
›
into the water
tank
·
, using the beaker provided.
A
After filling replace the fill cap. In hard
water areas the use of distilled or
demineralised water is recommended.
WARNING: Never use battery topping
up fluid or water containing any
substances like starch, or sugar, or
defrosted water from a refridgerator.

Always pour out the remaining water after
use.
WARNING: When filling your iron with
tap water always use the beaker
provided. Never fill directly under the
tap.

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.
Features of your iron
Temperature indicator light
The 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 variable steam control
⁄
is
set to the ‘0’ 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
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 using the water
spray it may be necessary to
push the button a few times to
get the spray pump primed.
Variable steam
Fill the iron with water as described in
‘Filling’, page 4 and insert the plug into the
electrical socket.
The steam output can be varied from
low to high by turning the variable steam
control
C
. When using the iron at the
bottom of the steam range, the steam
output should be adjusted to the low
setting.
The steam facility should only be used
on garments which are suitable for ironing
at 2 and 3 dot setting.
Shot of steam
Press the shot of steam button
¤
to
obtain a burst of extra steam for ironing out
creases in 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 shown on the
control dial.
Note: For optimum steam
quality, do not operate the
shot more than three times in
succession.
