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
1 Make sure that the iron is not plugged in
and then set the variable steam control ⁄
to the ‘ ’ position before filling the iron
with water.
2 Push the filler cap release button fi and
lift up the fill cap. Fill the water through the
filling hole
› into the water tank ‚, using
the beaker provided. A One beaker fills
the tank (275 ml). After filling replace the
fill cap. In hard water areas the use of
distilled or demineralised water is
recommended.
Never use battery topping up fluid or
water containing any substances like
starch, or sugar, or defrosted water
from a refridgerator.
3 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.
Temperature control
Plug in the iron and switch on. Set the
temperature control dial B 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
‰ 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 ‘ ’ 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 sliding the variable steam control
C. When using the iron at the bottom of the
steam range, the steam output should be
adjusted to the lowest 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.
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
D. Press the shot of steam button ‹, this
will create vertical steam. This feature is
especially useful for removing creases from
hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings,
etc.
Note; For optimum steam quality, do not
operate the shot more than three times in
succession.
