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.
Children
•
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 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 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.
Other safety
considerations
•
Use the steam generator
only for its 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 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 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.
•
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).
•
To prevent damage to the
textile being ironed, follow
the temperature guide
carefully. (Test on 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.
