Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following of basic common
sense safety rules.
There is danger of personal injury and the
danger of damage to property and the
appliance.
Please read the following essential safety
advice.
Your safety
• Never attempt to move your fryer
until it is completely cool. This can
take up to two hours. Use the handles at
the sides.
• To protect against electric shock do
not immerse cord, plugs, or control
unit in water or other liquid.
• Unplug from 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 in use.
Product safety
• The control unit and heating element
of the fryer must never be immersed
in water. They should be cleaned
with a damp cloth and/or tissue
paper.
• Do not place the lid on the fryer
when in use or heating up. The lid is
for storage only and should be
replaced after use.
• After frying, allow 2 hours for oil to
cool down before folding handle into
basket, or it may melt.
• Before use, always ensure that the
internal tank is positioned correctly in the
fryer body ie. the max/min level indicators
should be to the right of the fryer D.
• Never connect the fryer to the electricity
supply without oil in the tank.
• Do not melt solid fat in the frying basket
as it may damage the appliance. Cut the
fat into pieces and place them directly
into the tank.
• Never operate with oil level below the
minimum mark or above the maximum
mark.
Location
• Do not use outdoors.
• Place the appliance on a horizontal, flat
and stable surface away from any heating
source and where it cannot be splashed
by water.
• Do not use your fryer under wall mounted
cupboards.
Other safety considerations
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions
or has been damaged in any manner.
Telephone Morphy Richards for advice.
• The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
cause injuries.
• Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
• Always wait for the oil to cool down
before emptying the tank. This can take
up to two hours.
• Always dry food before frying eg. chips
which are too wet can cause the hot oil
to froth excessively.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach from the
socket to the base unit without straining
the connections. Reduce the length of
the lead by storing the excess in the cord
storage cavity.
• 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.
Treating burns
Run cold water over the affected area
immediately. Do not stop to remove clothing,
get medical help quickly.
