NEVER immerse the appliance body in water or in any
other liquid and always ensure the electrical connections
are kept dry.
• 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 the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children
• Children do not understand the dangers associated with
operating electrical appliances. Never allow children to
use this appliance.
• 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

Other safety considerations
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner.
• The use of attachments or tools not recommended or
sold by Morphy Richards may cause fire, electric shock
or injury.

intended purpose.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use, or when left

Product specific safety
• IMPORTANT: Allow hot liquids to cool before adding to
the blender, always ensure the lid is fitted correctly.
• WARNING: To protect against fire, electric shock and
personal injury, do not immerse the cord, plug or blender
base in water or other liquid.
• WARNING: The blades are very sharp. Handle with care
when using and cleaning.
• Make sure the blender is switched off before connecting
to or disconnecting from the mains supply and when left
unattended.
• When using the blender, ensure the lid is in place before
switching on. Do not remove the lid until the blade has
stopped rotating.
• Do not blend for longer than the time periods
recommended in the operating chart.
• Do not overfill the blender. 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’ on page 5.
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 re
moved and the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING : The plug removed from the mains lead, if
severed, must be destroyed, as a plug with a bared
flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket
outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require changing, a 5
amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
