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.
Anti-scale models only
• Keep the anti-scale sachet out of reach
of children.
• Wipe up spilt anti-scale granules
immediately.
• If the granules come into accidental
contact with the eyes, flush them with
water for at least 15 minutes and remove
all particles. Consult a physician if
irritation persists.
• If the granules come into contact with
the skin, remove particles and wash with
water.
• Do not remove the anti-scale cartridge
from the iron, unless the tank is empty.
• When filling ensure that the iron is
disconnected from the electrical socket,
and that the cartridge is inserted
correctly.
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).
