Plug in the iron and switch on.
The ‘power on’ indicator lights
„

situated in the back cover
will illuminate. Set the
temperature control dial
B
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.
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.
