Health and Safety

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 indi- cated 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

•This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

farm houses;

by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;

bed and breakfast type environments.

It is not suitable for use in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments.

•Place the appliance on a horizontal, flat and stable surface, away from a 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 or near water.

•Do not use your fryer near or below combustible material, such as curtains.

Mains cable

•The mains cable should reach from the socket to the base unit without straining the connections.

•Do not let the cable hang over the edge of the table or the counter and keep it away from any hot surface.

•Do not let the cable run across an open space e.g. between a lower socket and table.

•If the supply cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similary qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Personal safety

•WARNING: Never attempt to move your fryer until it

is completely cool. This can take up to three hours. Use the handles at the side.

•WARNING: To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the control unit in water or other liquid.

•Unplug from the electrical 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 it is in use.

•Be careful not to touch those surfaces of the fryer which become hot when in use.

•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.

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.

•Children do not understand the dangers associated with operating electrical appliances. Never allow children to use this appliance.

•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Other safety considerations

•The use of attachments or tools not recommended or sold by Morphy Richards may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

•Never pour oil out of the fryer with the bowl in position.

•Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Telephone the helpline number (the telephone number can be found on the back cover) for advice on examination and repair.

•Do not use the fryer for anything other than it’s intended purpose.

•Always dry food before frying, e.g. chips which are too wet, as they can cause the hot oil to froth excessively.

•This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or a separate remote control system.

•This appliance is only to be used with the control unit supplied.

Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current).

If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, the plug should be re moved and the appropriate one fitted.

WARNING : The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed, as a plug with a bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require changing, a 13 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
