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.
Personal 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.
•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.
•Always use heat resistant gloves to remove the inner bowl and lid from the cooker.
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.
•Children are vulnerable in the kitchen, particularly when unsupervised and if appliances are being used or cooking is being carried out.
•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 should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Other safety considerations
•Do not reheat cooked rice in the cooker.
•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 it contains hot food, water, or other hot liquids.
•To open, lift the lid off towards yourself but tilted away from you.
•Do not use any parts of this product 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.

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 removed 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.
