Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires following common sense safety
rules.
Primarily there is danger of personal
injury and secondly danger of damage to the
appliance and property. These are indicated
in the instructions text by the following two
conventions:
WARNING: Danger of personal injury
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance
In addition we offer the following
essential safety advice.
Your safety
•
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven
gloves or a cloth when removing lid or
handling hot containers as hot steam will
escape.
•
To protect against fire, electric shock and
personal injury do not immerse cord,
plugs, or appliance in water or other
liquid.
•
Unplug from the socket when not in use,
before putting on or taking off
attachments, and before cleaning.
•
Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged lead or plug, or after an
appliance has malfunctioned, or has been
dropped or damaged in any way. Contact
Morphy Richards for advice on
examination, repair, or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
•
Do not fill above the maximum level. If
the steamer is overfilled, boiling water
may be ejected which can scald.
Location
•
Ensure that this appliance is situated out
of the reach of children.
•
Do not place directly under kitchen wall
cupboards when in use as it produces
large amounts of steam. Avoid reaching
over the steamer when in use.
•
Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
•
The mains lead should reach from the
socket to the base unit without straining
the connections.
•
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.
Other safety considerations
•
The use of attachments or tools not
recommended by Morphy Richards may
cause fire, electric shock or injury.
•
Extreme caution must be used when
moving the cooker when containing hot
food, water, or other hot liquids.
•
To open, lift the lid off towards yourself
but tilted away from you.
•
Do not use any steamer parts in a
microwave or on any cooking/heated
surfaces.
•
Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
•
Never use the cooker to boil acid or
alkaline foodstuff. Do not leave it in a
damp and corrosive environment.
•
Do not switch the steamer on unless it
contains at least 1 cup of water,
otherwise the steamer may be damaged.
•
Aways make sure the water does not fall
below the minimum level.

of your appliance corresponds with your
house electricity supply which must be A.C.
