Important safety instructions
The use of any electrical appliance requires the following of basic 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
essential safety advice.
Personal safety
•Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven gloves or a cloth when removing the lid or handling hot containers as hot steam will escape.
•WARNING: To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
•WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when moving the steamer when containing hot food, water, or other hot liquids.
•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.

•Ensure that this appliance is situated out of 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.
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 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.
