GETTING THE
BEST FROM
YOUR NEW IRON
Safety first: Caution must
be used when handling this
appliance as it does get
very hot. Always switch off
the unit and allow to cool
before cleaning or storing.
Jet cleaning: Your iron will
give the best ironing results
and will last longer if you
apply jet cleaning after
each period of ironing.
Useful tip: If clothes are
wrinkled, hang them
around the bathroom while
you take a hot shower,
When you’re done, the
steam will have worked
wonders on the wrinkles
and you’ll use far less
energy ironing them.

• 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.
• This appliance is not
intended for use by persons
(including children) with
reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they
have been given
supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the
appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Other safety
considerations
• Use the iron only for it’s
intended use.
• Always disconnect the iron
from the electrical socket
when filling with water or
emptying, and when not in
use.
• When placing the iron on
it’s heel, ensure that the
surface on which the heel
is placed is stable.
• Do not operate the iron
with a damaged cord or if
the iron has been dropped
or if there are visible signs
of damage, or if it is
leaking. 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.
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 it’s socket? Is
the plug itself or the socket
faulty? (Check by plugging
in another appliance).

• 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,
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 iron’s
steam system is activated.
