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 blender is used on a firm, flat
surface.
• Do not use the blender outdoors or in a
bathroom.
• Do not place the blender on a highly
polished wooden surface as damage may
occur to the surface.
• Do not place the blender 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.
Personal safety
• WARNING: To protect against risk of
electric shock NEVER immerse the
blender body in water or in any other
liquid and always ensure the
electrical connections are kept dry.
• WARNING: The blender blades are
sharp. Handle with care when using
and cleaning.
• WARNING: Keep hands and utensils
out of the 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 blender blades during
operation, to prevent personal injury
and/or damage to the appliance.
Children
• Children do not understand the dangers
associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use
this appliance.
Other safety considerations
• Disconnect the blender 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 blender for anything other
than its intended use.
• Do not overfill the blender. This could
cause damage to the motor. The 3 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.
• Do not blend for longer than the time
periods recommended in 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.
