W
ARNING: The product produces
steam which is pressurised. Never
u
nscrew the boiler filler cap whilst the
unit is pressurised. Steam will shoot

•
Performance
Every 3 months fill the boiler with
fresh water (0.8L), rinse then empty.
Filter water is best as it reduces
limescale and prolongs the life of your
steam generator. Morphy Richards
water filters are widely available.
Alternatively use tap water.

Special instructions
• If your steam generator does not

i
nternal damage even if the outside
appears alright. Have it checked by a
qualified electrician.
•
The temperature of accessible
s
urfaces may be high when the
appliance is operating.
