• 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
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.
• 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 the
use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their
safety.
Other safety
considerations
• Use the iron only for it’s
intended use.
• Always disconnect the iron
from the electrical socket
when filling with water or
emptying, and when not in
use.
• When placing the iron on
it’s 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 it’s socket? Is
the plug itself or the socket
faulty? (Check by plugging
in another appliance).

• 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.
• It is recommended that you
use up one beaker of water
by operating your iron’s
steam and shot of steam
functions before ironing any
clothes, as some dripping
may occur while your iron’s
steam system is activated.
