Locate the steam generator horizontally on the
iron rest plate of your ironing board (if large
enough) or on a heat resistant stand at the same
height as your ironing board or below it. Always
ensure the steam generator is on a firm surface
when ironing.
WARNING: Do not use the product on
surf ce which could be d m ged by he t or
ste m such s worktop or polished wood
surf ce.
If in doubt, contact Morphy Richards.
Remove any protective cover from the soleplate
(6) and the base unit, if any.
Unwind and straighten the power (35) and steam
supply cords (34).
Textiles and clothes carry ironing instructions. If
not, follow the temperature guide above, but test
the temperature by ironing the hem of the
garment or other discreet area first.
It is advised to begin with ‘cool’ fabrics (see
above) and work up to higher settings. An iron
heats up quicker than it cools down so you’ll save
time and electricity.
If you turn the temperature dial down from a hot
setting to a cooler setting, wait until the
temperature indicator light (7) goes out (indicating
the correct temperature has been reached) before
you continue ironing.
You can carry the appliance by the iron handle (2)
once the iron is locked to the base unit (22) (see
‘Storing the steam iron’ on page 11).
Location Before use

Using the Steam Generator for steam ironing
Turn the temperature dial (5) to suit the garment
(see ‘Temperature guide’ on page 6). The
temperature indicator light (7) illuminates until
the temperature is reached. Begin ironing when
the temperature indicator light goes out. If you
turn the temperature dial down, wait until the
temperature indicator light illuminates and then
goes off again.
Plug the appliance into a mains outlet, you will
hear a beep. Press the On/Off button (31), it will
beep again and the power indicator light (26)
will illuminate and the low steam level indicator
light (27) will flash.

When steam ironing, remove the detachable
water tank (15), lift the filling cap (9), and fill with
water to the max fill line. Replace the water tank.
IMPORTANT: Never fill the dirty w ter

Unlock the iron from its storage position on top
of the base unit (22) by pressing and holding the
iron release button (18) (marked with a padlock
icon) - this enables you to rotate the tip of the
soleplate (6) (in a clockwise direction) out from
under the iron-to-base locking hook (16) and lift
the iron heel (8) away from the rear docking
hook (20).
WARNING: To void burning yourself if the
solepl te is still hot, never press down on the
iron-to-b se locking button
(17)
to unlock the
iron.
During use, the iron may be rested on the iron
rest plate (19) with the soleplate tip on top of the
iron-to-base locking hook (16) and the heel
slotted on to the rear docking hook.

Steam boost button (certain models only)
The steam boost function is ideal for relaxing the
fibres of tougher fabrics (like jeans and linen) and
getting rid of those stubborn, hard to reach creases.
To produce a quick, powerful shot of steam during
ironing, simply press and release the steam boost
button (1).
NOTE: After using the steam boost function, your
steam generator iron will require up to 5 seconds to
reheat before it can produce a second boost of
steam. If you require a high level of constant steam,
choose the appropriate steam level and use the
steam trigger (4) as instructed above.
Do not combine the two ste m functions. Using the two buttons together will interrupt the flow of
steam and may result in the constant steam cutting out completely. For optimum steam output, use
each steam function separately and as detailed above.

Press the relevant button to either increase (32)
or decrease (33) the steam level. The selected
steam level will be displayed by illumination of
the relevant steam level indicator light. The
steam level indicator light will stop flashing and
illuminate constantly when the selected steam
level is reached.
For a strong, continuous flow of steam during
ironing, press and hold the steam trigger (4) to
deliver steam through the soleplate.
WARNING: The ste m supply cord
(34)
will
get hot during use.
When you have finished ironing, turn off the
appliance by pressing and holding the On/Off
power button (31) for three seconds. A beep will
be heard and the power indicator light (26) and
steam level indicator (27/28/29) will be
extinguished.
Disconnect the plug from the mains outlet.

IN HARD WATER AREAS, WE RECOMMEND
A MIX OF 50% TAP WATER AND 50%
DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED WATER.
Never use b ttery topping up fluid or w ter
cont ining ny subst nces like st rch, sug r,
fr gr nt dditives or defrosted w ter from
refriger tor.
Re-filling during use
If the water level is too low, the low water level
indicator light (30) will illuminate, a beep will be
heard, and the unit will not produce steam. If this
happens, disconnect the water tank and refill
with water.
Dry ironing
To use your steam generator as a dry iron only,
follow steps 2, 3 and 4 of ‘Using the Steam
Generator for steam ironing’ on page 7. You do
not need to put water in the tank or select a
steam level. Press
either the steam boost button
(1)
(certain models only) or the steam trigger
(4)
at least once every 10 minutes, or the product
will automatically turn off.
Auto shut-off (certain models only)
If
either the steam boost button
(1)
(certain
models only) or the steam trigger
(4) goes
unused for 10 minutes, the product will
automatically turn off for safety and to save
energy, and a beep will be heard.
To restart, press the On/Off button (31) (see step
2 of ‘Using the Steam Generator for steam
ironing’ on page 7) and wait for the temperature
to rise again.
Steam function
During steaming, small amounts of water may be
ejected from the soleplate. This is normal and
can be avoided by using the steam for short
amou
nts of time and only when the iron is at the
correct temperature (the temperature indicator
light (7) on the iron goes out when ready).
Sudden jolts of the boiler unit can also cause
water droplets on the soleplate; therefore, do not
move the base unit during ironing.
We recommend for first time ironing th t you
iron over n old towel.
NOTE: The product may occasionally produce a
pumping sound during steam ironing. This is
normal and is caused by water being pumped
through the steam generator.
Vertical steam
Vertical steam is useful for removing creases
from hanging clothes, curtains, upholstery, etc.
Hold the iron between 1cm and 2cm away from
the item and press either the steam boost button
(1)
(certain models only) or the steam trigger
(4)
.
WARNING: Do not use the vertic l ste m
fe ture on clothes th t re being worn.

Auto clean function
Each time approximately 5L of water has been
used in the steam generator, it will need to run an
auto clean cycle. When the product is fully cooled
down and first switched on, it will draw water
from the water tank (15) to flush the boiler,
emptying dirty water and limescale into the dirty
water chamber (10). For this short time, the
descaling indicator light (25) will flash and you will
be unable to use the product to iron.
If there is not sufficient water to operate this
function, the product will alert you with the low
water level indicator light (30) and the process will
be paused until the tank is refilled and replaced.
WARNING: During the uto cle n process, the
w ter ejected from the m chine is very hot, so
do not remove the w ter t nk until the uto
cle n process is finished.
The auto clean process will take approximately 3
minutes, after which the steam generator will be
ready for normal operation again. The flashing
descaling indicator light (25) will extinguish and
the low steam level indicator light (27) will flash,
indicating that the steam generator is readying
itself for the low steam level setting.
After ironing, switch off the steam generator at
the On/Off power button (31) and unplug from the
mains outlet. If the auto clean function has
activated and completed, wait for the steam
generator to cool down completely. Remove the
detachable water tank and tip the dirty water
from the dirty water emptying holes (11).
IMPORTANT: Ensure the dirty w ter is emptied
fter e ch uto cle n cycle to prevent overflow.
WARNING: Dirty w ter in the dirty w ter
ch mber
(10)
will be hot fter the uto cle n
process, so t ke c re when pouring it out.
To clean a coated 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 (6),
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.
