Morphy Richards TURBO Steam Manual

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, but be sure to test the temperature by ironing the hem of the garment or similar discreet 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 "A"

1. Make sure that the iron is not plugged in and then set the variable steam control 3 to the '0' position before filling the iron with water.
   
2. Remove the fill cap and pour water through the filling hole 4 into the water tank 8, using the beaker provided. One beaker full of water fills the tank (400ml) A. 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, sugar, fragrant additives, or defrosted water from a refrigerator.
3. Always pour out the remaining water after use.
   
   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 7 to the temperature required B, 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 a temperature indicator light 9 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.
  

Instructions For Use

2. Spray button
3. Variable steam control
4. Filling hole with cap
5. Spray nozzle
6. Soleplate
7. Temperature control dial
8. Water tank
9. Temperature indicator light
10. Filling beaker

Shot of steam E (certain models only)
Press the shot of steam button 1 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 (certain models only)
Hold the iron in a vertical position between 1cm and 2cm away from the item "F". Press the shot of steam button 1, 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.

No drip system
Your iron is fitted with a no drip system which is designed to prevent water escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too cold. During use, the no 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.

Emptying and storing
When you have finished ironing, unplug your iron. Ensure that the variable steam control is set at the "0" position, remove the fill cap and empty any remaining water out of the filling hole "G".

Do not store in the box, but in an upright position "H", so that any drops of water remaining cannot leak out and discolour the soleplate.

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.

Maintenance

To clean a stainless steel soleplate (certain models only)
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 manufacturer's instructions.
To clean off melted man-made fibres, set the iron at the 3 dot position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off the surface.

To clean a coated soleplate (certain models only)
In the unlikely event of any man-made fibre fusing to the soleplate, set the iron at the 3 dot position and pass it over a clean piece of cotton which will draw the deposit off the surface.
Do not use scouring powder or solution as this could cause damage to the coating.

To clean an aluminium soleplate (certain models only)
To keep the soleplate clean and free of limescale, make a paste of mild scouring powder and a little water. Apply a small amount to the soleplate, rub and then remove with a damp cloth. Wipe thoroughly with a clean cloth.

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.

• 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 the plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces.
• Let the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop the cord loosely around the iron before storing.
• The iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.

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.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person(s) in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord, or if the iron has been dropped or damaged and 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 its socket? Is the plug itself or the socket faulty? (Check by plugging in another appliance).
  
  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 steam boost functions before ironing any clothes as some dripping may occur while your iron's steam system is activated.

Electrical Requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be 230V A.C. (Alternating Current). If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, the plug should be removed and the appropriate one fitted.

The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed, as a plug with a bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet.

This appliance must be earthed.
