safety rules:
Primarily there is danger of
injury or death and secondly
the danger of damage to the
appliance. These are

The iron must be used and
rested on a stable surface.
Children

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

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
you turn a steam iron
upside down, there may be
hot water in the water
tank.
•
WARNING: To protect
against the risk of electric
shock, do not put the
appliance in water or in
any other liquid.
•
Do not use the vertical steam
feature on clothes that are
being worn.
•
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.
•
Do not allow the cord to
touch hot surfaces.
•
Let the iron cool completely
before putting away. Loop
the cord loosely around the
iron before storing.
•
The iron must not be left
unattended while it is
connected to the supply
mains.
•
When placing the iron on its
heel, ensure that the surface
on which the heel is placed
is stable.
•
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 use of the
appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Other safety
considerations
•
Use the iron only for its
intended use.
•
Always disconnect the iron
from the electrical socket
when filling with water or
emptying, and 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 iron with
a damaged cord, or if the
iron has been dropped or
damaged and 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.
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.
