Safety Never touch the outer enclosure of the slow cooker during it’s operation or before it has cooled down. Use oven gloves when removing the lid or ceramic pot. Efficiency Removing the lid will allow heat to escape, reducing the efficiency of your slow cooker and increasing the cooking time. If you remove the lid more than a couple of times to stir or add ingredients, then you will need to allow 10-15 minutes extra cooking time each time you remove the lid. Enjoy the benefits Slow cooking gives you convenient, versatile and flavoursome food. Longer cooking times allow better distribution of flavours, giving them time to blend and season the food. A slow cooker heats food gently, making it a great way to cook meats, less expensive cuts in particular, such as stewing beef, which are tenderised through the long cooking process. Remember, there are no limits to the potential uses of your slow cooker, only your imagination! 48795 MUK Rev1 4/6/08 15:11 Page 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The use of any electrical appliance requires the following 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 safety advice. Location • Always locate your appliance away from the edge of the worktop. • Keep your appliance away from any hot burners and heated ovens. • Ensure that the appliance is used on a firm, flat, heat resistant surface. • Ensure that sufficient space is left above and around all sides of your appliance to allow air to circulate. • Do not use the appliance outdoors or near water. • IMPORTANT: Do not use too close to curtains, draperies, walls, cupboards and other flammable materials. • WARNING: Do not use underneath cupboards. Personal safety • WARNING: Do not touch the top of the appliance or other hot parts during or after use, use handles or knobs. • To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not put base in water or in any other liquid. • Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven gloves or a cloth when removing lid or handling hot containers. • Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water, or other hot liquids. • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Mains lead • The mains lead should reach from the socket to the appliance without straining the connections. Reduce the length of the excess lead by using the cord storage facility. • Do not let the mains lead hang over the edge of the worktop where a child could reach it. • Do not let the lead run across an open space e.g. between a low socket and table. • Do not let the lead run across a cooker or hot area which might damage the cable. • Never leave the appliance connected to the socket outlet when not in use. • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Children • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the 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. • Children are vulnerable in the kitchen, particularly when unsupervised and if appliances are being used or cooking is being carried out. • Never allow a child to operate this appliance. Other safety considerations • Never touch the outer enclosure of the slow cooker during it’s operation or before it cools. Use the handles or knobs. • Do not switch on the cooker if the ceramic pot is empty. • Allow the lid and ceramic pot to cool before immersing in water. • Never cook directly in the base unit. Use the ceramic pot. • Do not use the ceramic pot or lid if cracked or chipped. • Do not switch on the appliance when it is upside down or laid on it’s side. • The lid and ceramic pot are fragile. Handle them with care. • Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Morphy Richards for advice. • Do not attempt repairs - the appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Call our helpline for advice. • The use of attachments or tools not recommended by Morphy Richards may cause fire, electric shock or injury. • Do not place on or near a hot gas electric burner or in a heated oven. • Only use for intended purpose. • Unplug from the socket when not in use, before putting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning. • Do not move the appliance whilst hot. 2 UK Helpline 0844 871 0956 Replacement Parts 0844 873 0722 Ireland Helpline 1800 409 119 48795 MUK Re...
