Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common sense safety
rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the
text by the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance! In
addition we offer the following safety
advice.
Location
• Do not use outdoors.
Children
• Children do not understand the dangers
associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use
this appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used near children.
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.
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 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
its socket? Is the plug itself or the
socket faulty? (Check by plugging in
another appliance).
• 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, 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.

Maintenance
Jet cleaning
Your iron has a built in cleaning system
designed to keep the water valve, steam
chamber and steam vents clear of lint and
loose mineral deposits. The ‘jet clean’ should
be operated after each period of ironing.
To operate, ensure that there is little water
in the tank, place the iron on its heel and turn
the temperature control dial to the maximum
setting. Wait for the beep, then unplug the
iron and hold it about 6’’ (150mm) above the
sink in the ironing position. Press the shot of
steam button about 10 times in succession.
After this cleaning operation, empty out
any remaining 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 the exterior
Allow the iron to cool and wipe over with
a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe
with a dry cloth.
Emptying and storing
When you have
finished ironing, unplug
your iron. Ensure that the
variable steam control is
set at the ‘0’ position, lift
up the fill cap and empty
any remaining water out
of the filling hole.
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.
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.
