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 its 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.
•
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
Personal safety
•

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
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.
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, damaged or 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.
•
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 irons steam system is activated.
