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 or near water.

• The steam generator must be used and

rested on a stable surface.

• When placing the iron unit on the base

unit or on it’s heel, ensure that the

surface on which the heel or base unit is

placed is stable.

Children

• Close supervision is necessary when any

appliance is used near children.

• Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the appliance.

Personal safety

• 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.

• Do not use the vertical steam feature on

clothes that are being worn.

• Do not allow the cord to touch hot

surfaces. Let the steam generator cool

completely before putting away.

• 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 socket should always be 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.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, it’s service
agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.

Other safety considerations

• Use the steam generator only for it’s
intended use.

• Never hold the generator base set under
the tap.

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

• Always disconnect the steam generator
from the electrical supply and 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.

• 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, 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 temperature control been set to
the required temperature? Is the plug in
it’s socket? Is the plug itself or the socket
faulty? (Check by plugging in another
appliance).

• 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 steam
generator, this could cause internal
damage even if the outside appears
alright. Have it checked by a qualified
electrician.

• The temperature of accessible surfaces
may be high when the appliance is
operating.

WARNING: Do not use the product on a
surface which could be damaged by heat
or steam such as a worktop or a polished
wooden surface.

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).

For appliances with fitted plug.

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.
