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.

• The iron must be used and rested on a

stable surface.

• When placing the iron on it’s heel,

ensure that the surface on which the

heel is placed is stable.

Children

• Close supervision is necessary when any

appliance is used near children.

• Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with this appliance.

Personal safety

• 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.

• 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.

Other safety considerations

• Use the iron only for its intended use.

• To protect against the risk of electric

shock do not put the appliance in water

or in any other liquid.

• Always disconnect the iron from the

electrical socket when filling with water

or emptying, and when not in use.

• 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.

• 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.

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).
