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.
Mains lead
• Do not allow the mains
lead to become strained or
run this appliance over it.
• If the electrical cable
becomes damaged the
cable assembly must be
replaced. Do not attempt
this task yourself, contact
the helpline number that is
found at the bottom of the
page.
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 be used and
rested on a stable surface
• When placing the iron on
its heel, ensure that the
surface on which the iron is
placed is stable.
• The iron is not to be used if
it has been dropped, if
there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
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.
• Do not operate the iron
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.
Children
• Close supervision is
necessary when any
appliance is used near
children.
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,
turn off the steam selector
switch, 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.

use up one beaker of water
by operating your iron’s
steam and shot of steam
functions before ironing any
