• 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
plug and pull to
disconnect.

• Do not allow the cord to
touch hot surfaces. Let the
iron cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord
loosely around the iron
before storing.

• The iron must be used and
rested on a stable surface

• When placing the iron on
its heel, ensure that the
surface on which the iron is
placed is stable.

• The iron is not to be used if
it has been dropped, if
there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.

• This appliance is not
intended for use by

experience or knowledge,
unless they have been
given supervision or
instruction concerning the

person responsible for their
safety.

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.

• Do not operate the iron
with a damaged cord or if
the iron has been dropped
or damaged. 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.

necessary when any
appliance is used near
children.

• Children do not understand
the dangers associated
with operating electrical
appliances.

• Children should be
supervised to ensure that
they do not play with this
appliance.

Special
instructions

• If your iron does not work,

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).

Heat setting markings on the adjustable control dial of all Morphy Richards irons match those of
the International Textile Care Labelling Code.

• 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 shot of steam
functions before ironing
any clothes as some
dripping may occur while
your irons steam system is
activated.
