Caution must be used when handling this appliance as it does get
very hot. Always switch off the unit and allow to cool before

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

• Children do not understand the dangers

associated with operating electrical

appliances. Never allow children to use

this appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when any

appliance is used near children.

Personal safety

• 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.

• Do not use the vertical steam feature on

clothes that are being worn.

• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst

plugged in or on an ironing board. 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 plug and pull

to disconnect.

• Do not allow the cord to touch hot

surfaces. Let the iron cool completely

before putting away. Loop cord loosely

around the iron before storing.

Other safety considerations

• Use the iron only for its intended use.

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

• Always disconnect the iron from the
electrical socket when filling with water
or emptying, and when not in use.

• Do not operate the iron with a damaged
cord or if the iron has been dropped or
damaged. 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 irons
steam system is activated.

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.
