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.
Your safety
•WARNING: Never attempt to move your fryer until it is completely cool. This can take up to two hours. Use the carrying handles. Î
•WARNING: To protect against the risk of electric shock do not immerse the fryer body in water or other liquid.
•Unplug from the electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting 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.
•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
•WARNING: The control pod must never be immersed in water.
•WARNING: When unpacking the fryer, make sure all packing material is removed.
•Never connect the fryer to the electricity supply without oil in the tank.
•Never operate with the oil level below
minimum mark (2.2 litres) or above maximum mark (2.7 litres).
Location
•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.
Other safety considerations
•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 front cover) for advice on examination and repair.
•Do not use the fryer for anything other than its intended purpose.
•The use of attachments or tools not recommended or sold by Morphy Richards may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
•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.
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.
Scalds
•Run cold water over the affected area immediately. Do not stop to remove clothing, seek medical help immediately.
