Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following of basic common
sense safety rules.
There is danger of personal injury and the
danger of damage to property and the
appliance.
Please read the following essential safety
advice.
Your safety
•
Never attempt to move your fryer
until it is completely cool.
This can
take up to three hours. Use the handle
recess at the sides.
•
To protect against electric shock do
not immerse in water or other liquid.
•
Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning the appliance.
•
Never leave the fryer unattended when
connected to the electricity supply.
•
Never lean over the fryer when in use.
•
When opening the lid, stand back as
some hot steam may be released.
•
Always use oven gloves when removing
or replacing lid during use.
•
Be careful not to touch those surfaces of
the fryer which become hot when in use.
Product safety
•
The fryer body must never be
immersed in water.
•
When unpacking the fryer, make
sure all white foam packing material
is removed.
This can be found under
the fryer and under the removable bowl.
•
Never connect the fryer to the electricity
supply without oil in the tank.
• Never operate with oil level below the
minimum mark (1.5 litres) or above the
maximum mark (2.0 litres).
Location
•
Place the appliance on a horizontal, flat
and stable surface away from any heating
source and where it cannot be splashed
by water.
•
Allow adequate air space above and on
all sides for air circulation.
•
Do not use your fryer under cupboards or
shelves.
•
Do not use outdoors.
Other safety considerations
•
Do not operate with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions
or has been damaged in any manner.
Telephone Morphy Richards for advice.
•
The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
cause injuries.
•
Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
•
Always dry food before frying eg. chips
which are too wet can cause the hot oil
to froth excessively.
•
Never pour oil out of the fryer with the
bowl in position.
Mains lead
•
The mains lead should reach from the
socket to the base unit without straining
the connections. Reduce the length of
the lead by winding it around the cable
wind on the back of the fryer.
•
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of
the table or the counter and keep it away
from any hot surfaces.
•
Do not let the lead run across an open
space e.g. between a low socket and
table.
Children
Never allow a child to operate this
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.
Treating burns
Run cold water over the affected area
immediately. Do not stop to remove clothing,
get medical help quickly.
