The use of any electrical appliance requires
the following common sense safety rules:
Primarily there is danger of injury or death
and secondly the danger of damage to the
appliance. These are indicated in the text by
the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition, we offer the following safety
advice.
Location
• Do not use outdoors.
•
Locate the steam generator horizontally on the
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 generator is on a firm level surface when
ironing.
• IMPORTANT: 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.
Children
• Children do not understand the dangers
associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use, or
play with, this appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used near children.
Personal Safety
• Do not use the vertical steam feature on
clothes that are being worn.
• WARNING: Burns can occur from touching
hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use
caution when using your steam generator.
If your iron is placed for a few moments
on the iron rest plate, this plate may reach
very high temperatures. In this instance,
do not touch the iron soleplate or the iron
rest plate until the iron and the iron rest
have cooled down.
• WARNING: To protect against the risk of
electric shock, do not immerse the
appliance in water or in any other liquid.
• Do not leave the steam generator unattended
whilst plugged in or on an ironing board.
Never allow the mains lead to over hang the
work surface.
• The mains socket should always be switched
off before plugging or unplugging from the
socket. Never yank the cord to disconnect
from the socket, instead, grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
Other safety considerations
• Use the steam generator only for its intended
use.
• Never hold the steam generator under a tap.
• Always disconnect the steam generator from
the electrical supply when cleaning or when
not in use.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified person(s) in order
to avoid a hazard.
• Do not operate the steam generator with a
damaged cord or if the iron has been
dropped or if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking. To avoid the risk of
electric shock, do not disassemble the iron or
steam generator, but telephone Morphy
Richards for advice. Incorrect reassembly
can cause a risk of electric shock when the
steam generator is used.
• If the need arises to change the mains cable
on your steam generator or the iron, please
return to Morphy Richards service
department at the address on the back page.
• WARNING: Danger
of scalding. Before
attempting to clean
the boiler, always
leave for at least
2 hours.
• WARNING: Take care when opening the
boiler for cleaning, as pressure may be
released to the atmosphere. If this occurs,
allow the pressure to release before
removing the boiler access screw.
