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.
Location
•Remove all packaging and retain for future reference.
• Ensure the processor is used on a firm, flat surface.
• Do not use the processor outdoors or in a bathroom.
•Do not place the processor on a highly polished wooden
surface as damage may occur to the surface.
•Do not place the processor on or near a hot surface such
as a hot plate or radiant rings or near a naked flame.
•Do not let the mains lead overhang the edge of the table
or work-top, or touch hot surfaces.
•Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or
electric hob, or in a heated oven.
Children
•Children do not understand the dangers associated with
operating electrical appliances. Never allow children to
use this appliance.
Personal safety
•WARNING: The processor/blender blades are very
sharp. Handle with care when using and cleaning.
•WARNING: Keep hands and utensils out of the
processor/blender when it is switched on.
• Allow hot liquids to cool before blending, always ensure
the lid is fitted correctly.
•WARNING: Avoid touching moving parts. Keep
hands, hair, clothing as well as spatulas and other
utensils away from processor/blender blades
during operation, to prevent personal injury and /
or damage to the appliance.
•WARNING: To protect against risk of electric shock
NEVER immerse the processor/blender body in
water or in any other liquid and always ensure the
electrical connections are kept dry.
Other safety considerations
• Disconnect the processor from the mains supply when
not in use, before taking off attachments and before
cleaning.
•Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Ring the helpline number for
advice on examination and repair.
• The use of attachments or tools not recommended or
sold by Morphy Richards may cause fire, electric shock
or injury.
• Do not use the processor/blender for other than its
intended use.
• Do not overfill the blender/processor bowl. This could
cause damage to the motor. The 5 amp fuse will blow if
the blender is overloaded. Replace the fuse and do not
exceed the maximum recommended volumes. Refer to
the operating chart.
•When using the blender ensure the lid is in place before
switching on and do not remove the lid until the blade
has stopped rotating.
•Processor/blender lid must be on and located correctly
for it to work.
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 13amp plug require replacement, a
5 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Unpacking and using
your machine for the
first time
Carefully unpack your new processor and all its
attachments and tools, checking them against the
illustrations at the beginning of this book to familiarise
yourself with the product. Wash all the parts which are safe
to immerse in water.
Never immerse the processor body ⁄ or whisk arm Á in
water or any other liquid. These may be wiped over with a
clean, damp cloth - but only when unplugged from the
electrical outlet.
