The use of any electrical
appliance requires the

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:

In addition, we offer the
following safety advice.

The iron must be used and
rested on a stable surface.
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
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 and knowledge,
unless they have been
given supervision or
instruction concerning the
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.
