IMPORTANT: To reduce limescale damage we recommend using deionised, distilled or demineralised water, available at most large supermarkets. This is particularly important if you live in a hard water area.

Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any substances like starch, sugar, fragrant additives or defrosted water from a refrigerator.

Failure to maintain your iron will invalidate your guarantee.

Steam iron overview

Temperature guide

Heat setting markings on the temperature dial of all Morphy Richards irons match those of the International Textile Care Labelling Code

Using the iron

Filling the tankBefore first use, remove all packaging, including the protective cover on the soleplate. Make sure the iron is not plugged in. Set the steam switch (6) to off. Fill the water tank (17) via the filling hole (13). To fill the tank with the maximum amount of water, we recommend the iron is tilted approximately 45º whilst being filled.Do not overfill the iron otherwise it will cause leaking from around the filler cap and may run down the iron.WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF DEIONISED, DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED WATER.Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any substances like starch, sugar, fragrant additives or defrosted water from a refrigerator. NOTE: Please see point 2 of ‘Exclusions’ on page 8.
Charging basePlug in the charging base (10) and switch on at the mains. The charging base indicator light (7) will illuminate red.Rest the iron on its heel (4) on the charging base, ensuring that the heel connector (5) meets the charging base connector (9). Connection is made when the temperature indicator light (3) on the handle illuminates red. Wait until the iron reaches the desired temperature (see step 3), then commence ironing.Throughout your ironing session, the iron must be replaced onto the charging base every few seconds or whenever you adjust your garments, to keep the heat topped up. If the charging base indicator light (7) is flashing red, the iron must be replaced onto the charging base until the red light turns green again, then you can recommence ironing.
Temperature SelectionSet the temperature dial (16) to the temperature required (see ‘Temperature Guide’ on page 3).The charging base indicator light (7) and the temperature indicator light (3) will illuminate red until the required temperature is reached, then they will turn green.NOTE: It is normal for the temperature indicator light (3) to flicker between red and green whilst the temperature cycles up and down during charging.Tip: We recommend the temperature indicator light is allowed to cycle red and green twice before you begin ironing.The temperature indicator light (3) will extinguish when the iron is removed from the base.Tip: Begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher settings. An iron heats up quicker than it cools down so this will save you time and energy.
Switching on the steamIf required, switch on the steam using the steam switch (6).The amount of steam is automatically adjusted to suit the temperature selected.The iron will only produce steam when the temperature is set within the steam quadrant on the temperature dial (16), eg. if the 2 Dot setting is selected, the iron will not steam.
Using the water sprayFor stubborn creases, use the water spray button (1).If using for the first time, you may need to press this a few times to pull the water through.
Steam boostPress the steam boost button (2) for an extra steam burst for stubborn creases / heavy fabrics.Unlike the constant steam function, the steam boost function may also be used with the 1 or 2 dot temperature settings.NOTE: To avoid excess moisture, never operate the steam boost more than three times in quick succession.

Charging Base Indicator Lights Explained

Features of your iron

Dry ironing

Your iron can be used for dry ironing. Set the steam switch (6) to off and set the temperature dial (16) as desired (see page 3).

You won’t need water in the tank unless using the water spray or steam boost features.

Vertical steam

Vertical steam is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc. Set the temperature to MAX. Hold the iron between 1cm and 2cm away from the item (ensuring the soleplate does not touch any delicate fabrics) and press the steam boost button (2).

Anti-drip system

This prevents water escaping from the soleplate (14) when the iron is too cold.

During use, the anti-drip system may emit a loud click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.

Anti-scale system

This system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.

Auto shut-off

If the iron is not taken off the charging base (10) for 8 minutes, the product will automatically turn off for safety and to save energy. When this happens, the temperature indicator light (3) will flash.

To restart the iron, disconnect the iron from the charging base and replace, then wait for the temperature to rise again.

NOTE: The appliance is not turned off completely in auto shut-off mode. To switch the product off, unplug the product from the mains outlet.

Maintaining your iron

Emptying and storing

When you have finished ironing, unplug and empty all water from your iron and set the steam switch at the off position. When cool, store the iron on its heel (4) on the charging base (10) with the power cord (11) wrapped loosely around the iron’s heel.

NOTE: Please see point 4 of ‘Exclusions’ on page 8.

Cleaning the soleplate

Do not use scouring powder or solution as this could cause damage to the coating.

If any man-made fibres fuse to the soleplate (14), set the iron at the MAX position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton to draw the deposit off the surface.

To clean the exterior

Allow the unit to cool and wipe over with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry.

Self clean

Your iron has a built in self clean system designed to keep the water valve, steam chamber and steam vents clear of lint and loose mineral deposits.

Fill the iron with water to the MAX line.
Set the steam switch (6) to the OFF position.
Connect the charging base (10) to a mains supply outlet and rest the iron on its heel (4) on the charging base.
Set the temperature dial (16) to the MAX setting and wait for the temperature to be reached – the temperature indicator light (3) will illuminate red until the required temperature is reached, then it will turn green.
Whilst the iron is still very hot, hold the iron horizontally over a sink.CAUTION: The soleplate (14) will still be hot, so ensure the charging base (10) and plug are kept away from it and the sink.
Press and hold the self-clean button (15).WARNING: Steam and boiling hot water will drain from the holes in the soleplate. Keep hands and body away from the hot water. This washes away the scale and minerals that have built up inside the steam chamber.
Whilst still holding the self-clean button, gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank (17) is empty.
When steam and hot water cease to be released from the soleplate (14), release the self-clean button (15).
When the process is complete, re-connect the iron heel (4) to the charging base (10) and allow to heat up – this will dry the soleplate.
Disconnect the charging base (10) from the mains supply outlet.
With the iron resting on its heel (4), allow it to fully cool down.
Wipe the soleplate with a cold, damp cloth.After this cleaning operation, empty out any remaining water.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to descale the soleplate with descaling products.
