damaged, it must be
replaced by the
manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified

hazard.
•
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

•
When placing the iron on its
heel, ensure that the surface
on which the heel is placed
is stable.
•
Do not operate the iron with
a damaged cord or if the
iron has been dropped or 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.
