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
• Always locate your appliance
away from the edge of the
worktop.
• Keep your appliance away from
any hot burners and heated
ovens.
• Ensure that the appliance is
used on a firm, flat, heat
resistant surface.
• Ensure that sufficient space is
left above and around all sides
of your appliance to allow air to
circulate.
• Do not use the appliance
outdoors or near water.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use too
close to curtains, draperies,
walls, cupboards and other
flammable materials.
• WARNING: Do not use
underneath cupboards.
Personal safety
• WARNING: Do not touch the
top of the appliance or
other hot parts during or
after use, use handles or
knobs.
• To protect against the risk of
electrical shock do not put base
in water or in any other liquid.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
oven gloves or a cloth when
removing lid or handling hot
containers.
• Extreme caution must be used
when moving an appliance
containing hot food, water, or
other hot liquids.
• This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including
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.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach
from the socket to the appliance
without straining the
connections. Reduce the length
of the excess lead by using the
cord storage facility.
• Do not let the mains lead hang
over the edge of the worktop
where a child could reach it.
• Do not let the lead run across an
open space e.g. between a low
socket and table.
• Do not let the lead run across a
cooker or hot area which might
damage the cable.
• Never leave the appliance
connected to the socket outlet
when not in use.
• If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
Children
• Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
• Teach children to be aware of
dangers in the kitchen, warn
them of the dangers of reaching
up to areas where they cannot
see properly or should not be
reaching.
• Children are vulnerable in the
kitchen, particularly when
unsupervised and if appliances
are being used or cooking is
being carried out.
• Never allow a child to operate
this appliance.
Other safety
considerations
• Never touch the outer enclosure
of the slow cooker during it’s
operation or before it cools.
Use the handles or knobs.
• Do not switch on the slow
cooker if the ceramic pot is
empty.
• Allow the lid and ceramic pot to
cool before immersing in water.
• Never cook directly in the base
unit. Use the ceramic pot.
• Do not use the ceramic pot or
lid if cracked or chipped.
• Do not switch on the appliance
when it is upside down or laid
on it’s side.
• The lid and ceramic pot are
fragile. Handle them with care.
• Do not operate with a damaged
cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has
been damaged in any manner.
Contact Morphy Richards for
advice.
• Do not attempt repairs - the
appliance contains no
user-serviceable parts. Call our
helpline for advice.
• The use of attachments or tools
not recommended by Morphy
Richards may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.
• Do not place on or near a hot
gas electric burner or in a
heated oven.
