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
• 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 fill above the maximum level. If the
steamer is overfilled, boiling water may
be ejected which can scald.
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 steamer when in use.
