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
1Make sure that the iron is not plugged in and then set the variable steam control ⁄ to the ‘ 
’ position before filling the iron with water.
2Push 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.
3Always 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.
A
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.
B
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
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.
