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.

Children

• Close supervision is necessary when any

appliance is used near children.

Personal safety

•WARNING: Burns can occur from

touching hot metal parts, hot water

or steam.

•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.

• Do not leave the steam station

unattended whilst plugged in or on an

ironing board. Never allow the mains

cord 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 steam station cool

completely before putting away.

Other safety considerations

• Use the steam station only for its
intended use.

• Always disconnect the steam station
from the electrical socket when filling
the tank and when not in use.

• Do not operate the steam station with a
damaged cord or if the steam station
has been dropped or damaged. To avoid
the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the steam station, but
telephone Morphy Richards for advice.
Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the steam station is
used.

Special instructions

• If your steam station 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
steam station should never be left
on an ironing board unattended.

•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 and allow to cool
before storage.

• If you drop or severely knock your steam
station this could cause internal damage
even if the outside appears alright. Have
it checked by a qualified electrician.

• It is recommended that everytime the
steam station is used the steam button
is depressed away from the ironing
board for approximately 30 seconds.

This enables the iron to discharge any

droplets of water held in the system.

• This process should be applied if you
have not steam ironed for several
minutes.

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.
