Getting the best from your new ironing system....

Safety first

Caution must be used when handling this appliance as it does get very hot. Always switch off

Water tank (certain models are illuminated)

The water tank can be re-filled at any time during ironing. Certain Morphy Richards steam
generators have an illuminated water tank. The changing colours enhance the mood for ironing
by creating a colourful atmosphere to help you glide through your washing basket.

IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

The use of any electrical
appliance requires the use
of common sense and
strict following of 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.

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

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

Children

• Children do not understand
the dangers associated
with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow
children to use, or play
with, this appliance.

• Close supervision is
necessary when any
appliance is used near
children.

• 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
using your steam
generator. If your iron is
placed for a few
moments on the iron rest
plate, this plate may
reach very high
temperatures. In this
instance, do not touch
the iron soleplate or the
iron rest plate until the
iron and the iron rest
have cooled down.

• WARNING: To protect
against the risk of
electric shock, do not
immerse 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
generator unattended
whilst plugged in or on an
ironing board. Never allow
the mains lead to over
hang the work surface.

• The mains socket should
always be switched 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.

• 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 the
use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their
safety.

Other safety
considerations

• Use the steam generator
only for its intended use.

• Never hold the generator
base set under the tap.

• Always disconnect the tank
from the base unit when
filling with water and
emptying.

• Always disconnect the
steam generator from the
electrical supply when
cleaning or 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 steam
generator with a damaged
cord or if the iron has been
dropped or if there are
visible signs of damage or
if it is leaking. To avoid the
risk of electric shock, do
not disassemble the iron or
steam generator, but
telephone Morphy Richards
for advice. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a
risk of electric shock when
the iron is used.

• If the need arises to
change the mains cable on
your steam generator or
the iron, please return to
Morphy Richards service
department at the address
on the back page.

Special
instructions

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

Has the iron 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).

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

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