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 or keep this product outside

when it is raining.

• Do not store the appliance near hot

ovens or heating appliances.

Children

• Children do not understand the dangers

associated with operating electrical

appliances. Never allow children to use

this appliance.

Personal safety

• The plug must be removed from the wall

socket before cleaning or maintaining

the appliance.

• Never modify the cleaner in any way.

Other safety considerations

• Never use in the presence of explosive

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.

• If the electrical cable becomes damaged
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.

• 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
filters being installed.

• Never use the appliance to vacuum hot
ashes, broken glass or sharp objects.

• To protect against fire, electric shock and
personal injury do not immerse cord,
plug or cleaner in water or other liquid.

Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating

plate of your charger unit 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.
