IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

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 or near
water.

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

Children

• Close supervision is
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.

Personal Safety

• WARNING: Burns can
occur from touching hot
metal parts, hot water or
steam. Use caution when
you turn a steam iron
upside down, there may be
hot water in the water
tank.

• WARNING: To protect
against the risk of electric
shock, do not put the
appliance in water or in
any other liquid.

• Do not use the vertical steam
feature on clothes that are
being worn.

• 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 the plug and
pull to disconnect.

• Do not allow the cord to
touch hot surfaces.

• Let the iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop
the cord loosely around the
iron before storing.

• The iron must not be left
unattended while it is
connected to the supply
mains.

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

• This appliance is not
intended for use by persons
(including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience or knowledge,
unless they have been given
supervision or instruction
concerning use of the
appliance by a 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.

• 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 iron with
a damaged cord, or if the
iron has been dropped or
damaged and if there are
visible signs of damage, or if
it is leaking. 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.

Special
instructions

• If your iron does not work,
check the following points:

Has the temperature 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).

• WARNING: When not in

use, your iron should
never be placed flat and
left on an ironing board.

• To prevent damage to the
textile being ironed, follow
the temperature guide
carefully. (Test the inside of
the hem of the garment).

• When ironing is complete,
remove the plug from the
socket, empty any remaining
water from the tank, and
allow to cool before storage.

• 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 iron’s steam
system is activated.

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS

Check that the voltage on the
rating plate of your appliance
corresponds with your house
electricity supply which must be
A.C. (Alternating Current).

If the socket outlets in your home
are not suitable for the plug
supplied with this appliance, the
plug should be removed and the
appropriate one fitted.

WARNING: The plug removed
from the mains lead, if severed,
must be destroyed, as a plug
with a bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp
plug require changing, a 13 amp
BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

WARNING: This appliance must
be earthed.

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