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 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 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 steam generator cool
completely before putting away.
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 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).
