Before first use


Remove any protective cover from the soleplate (5) and the base unit (18), if any.
Unwind and straighten the power and steam supply cords.
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.
You can carry the appliance by the iron handle (1) once the iron is locked to the base unit (18) (see
‘Storing the steam iron’ on page 11).

Location
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 a surface which could be damaged by heat or steam such as
a worktop or a polished wood surface.
If in doubt, contact Morphy Richards.
