How do you descale the iron?
The iron features an autoclean function that flushes limescale and dirt build-up from the boiler. The process is typically initiated by a dedicated button, and the dislodged scale is collected in the water tank to be poured away.
Can you use tap water?
Yes, but Morphy Richards recommends using a 50/50 mixture of tap water and demineralised, distilled, or deionised water. This helps prevent excessive limescale buildup and maintains the iron's performance and longevity.
How long is the warranty period?
It comes with a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee. This usually needs to be registered online with Morphy Richards within 28 days of purchase to be valid.
What are the dimensions of the base unit?
The supplier has indicated approximate dimensions for the steam generator base unit as 145mm in length, 85mm in width, and 105mm in height. It is designed to sit on a standard ironing board, but ensure your board is large and stable enough to support it safely.
How do you lock the iron for storage?
The product includes a safety locking system for storage. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on engaging the lock to secure the iron to the base unit when not in use.
What is included in the box?
The package includes the main steam generator base unit, the iron with its ceramic soleplate, a 1.8-metre steam supply hose, a 2-metre power cord, and the user manual. The 2.2-litre water tank is detachable from the base.
Is the iron suitable for vertical steaming?
Yes, it has a vertical steam function. This allows you to use the iron to steam creases from hanging garments, curtains, or other fabrics without needing an ironing board.
