ovens or heating appliances.
Mains lead
• Do not allow the mains lead to become
strained or run this appliance over it.

the complete cable assembly must be
replaced. Do not attempt this task
yourself, contact Morphy Richards using
the replacement parts number on the
front of this leaflet.
Children
• Children do not understand the dangers
associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use
this appliance.
Personal safety

liquids or vapours.
• Never pick up inflammable or poisonous
liquids such as petrol, copier toner or
other volatile substances. Never pick up
acids, asbestos or asbestos dust.
• Repairs to electrical appliances are only
to be undertaken by trained personnel.
Unprofessional repairs can be
dangerous for users.
• Use only genuine Morphy Richards
spare parts and accessories.
• The appliance must never be left running
when unsupervised.
• This vacuum cleaner is intended for
domestic use only. Misuse or use for
commercial or any other purpose will
render the guarantee invalid.
Product safety
• Never use the appliance without the

Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating
plate 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.
If you cut off the plug and let go of the
cable it will rewind into the machine.
Therefore you must pull out a length of
cable and secure it before cutting off the
plug and refitting a new one.
IMPORTANT: 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.
