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

In addition, we offer the
following safety advice.
Location
• Do not use outdoors or near
water.
• The iron must be used and
rested on a stable surface.
Children
• Close supervision is
necessary when any
appliance is used near
children.
• Children do not understand
the dangers associated with
operating electrical
appliances.
• Children should be
supervised to ensure that
they do not play with this
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 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.
• The iron must not be left
unattended while it is
connected to the mains
supply.
• 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
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
