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.

Your safety

• Never touch the outer enclosure of the

slow cooker during its operation or before

it cools. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use

oven gloves or a cloth when removing

the 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.

• Do not switch on the cooker if the

ceramic pot is empty.

• Never cook directly in the base unit. Use

the ceramic pot.

Location

• Do not use outdoors.

• 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 slow cooker 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, including the slow
cooker itself.

• 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.

Other safety
considerations

• Do not use attachments or tools not
recommended by Morphy Richards as
this may cause fire, electric shock or
injury.

• Extreme caution must be used when
moving the cooker when containing hot
food, water, or other hot liquids.

• To open, lift the lid off towards yourself
but tilted away from you.

• Do not use any slow cooker parts 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.

• Do not use the appliance for other than
intended use.

• Never leave the appliance connected to
the socket outlet when not in use.

• Do not switch on the appliance when it is
upside down or laid on its side.

• The glass lid and ceramic pot are fragile.
Handle them with care.

• Allow the lid and the crock pot to cool
before immersing in water.

• Do not use crock pot or glass lid if
cracked or chipped.

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 bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged into a live socket
outlet.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing, a 3 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.

WARNING: This appliance must be
earthed.
