Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions.
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when designing and
manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that
the product user also exercise care when using an
electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions which
are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided
with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before
you remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug - do
not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord
unless this cord has been checked and tested by your
electricity supplier or qualified technician.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the
voltage (A.C. only) marked on the underside of the
appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is
being used near children or infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.
• Young children or infirm persons should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than
its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame,
electric element or in a heated oven. Do not place on
top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over
the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot
surface.
• Do not immerse in water.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by
unskilled persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using
tamperproof means as specified by S.A.A. (Standards
Association of Australia). Such appliances should
always be returned to the nearest Service Centre for
adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner; If damage is
suspected, return the appliance to the nearest Service
Centre for examination, repair or adjustment. As a
service to Customers, Service Centres will carry out a
free check on your appliance to ensure it is electrically
safe.
• For additional protection Sunbeam recommend the
use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping
current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying the power outlet in use.
• Blade and Processing Disc are very sharp, handle with
care when removing, replacing or cleaning.
• Ensure fingers are kept well away from the Processing
Blade and the Slicing/Shredding Disc when in use.
• Use the food processor on a dry, flat level surface.
• Never place Processing Blade on the Base without first
putting the Container properly in place.
• Be certain, Container Cover is securely
locked in place while operating appliance.
• Never feed food by hand, always use Food Pusher.
• Never use the food processor outdoors.
• Never remove the Cover or Processor until the Blade
or Disc has come to a complete stop and the unit has
been unplugged from a power outlet.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance, please ring our Toll
Free number (Australia only) 1800 025 059. New Zealand - contact the Sunbeam Office in Auckland.

Features of you Sunbeam Oskar 400 (cont).
1. Powerful 400 watt motor
The base houses a powerful 400 watt motor,
ideal even under heavy loads. Perfect for
performing food preparation tasks including
- chopping, mincing, pureeing, blending,
mixing, shredding and slicing - quickly and
efficiently.
2. Processing Bowl
The processing bowl locks into place on the
motor base. The shape, in combination with
the design of the blade, ensures even,
efficient processing. The transparency of the
processing bowl allows you to check the food
during processing and for additional
convenience, the processing bowl is
microwave safe and dishwasher safe.
3. Processing blade
The stainless steel processing blade is
contoured to fit the rounded shape of the
processing bowl to provide a most efficient
chopping/mixing action.
The processing blade is only to be used in the
processing bowl.
4. Cover
The transparent cover is the lid for the
processing bowl and activates the automatic
On/Off interlock switch system. The cover also
has a pouring hole, so ingredients can be
added gradually during processing.

Features of you Sunbeam Oskar 400 (cont).
7. Continuous Flow attachment
This attachment locks onto the processing
bowl in a similar manner to that of the
processing bowl cover, and activates the
automatic On/Off interlock switch system.
The continuous flow attachment allows you
to slice or shred unlimited amounts of food.
A large bowl or suitable container is required
to collect the processed food.
6. Reversible Slicing/Shredding disc
The easy clean stainless steel disc is reversible
- one side will Slice and the other side will
Shred. The disc is only suitable when using
the continuous flow attachment.
5. Ejector Disc
When using the Slicing/Shredding disc the
ejector disc must first be placed over the
drive shaft. As the food is sliced or shredded,
it is thrown from the ejector disc, through
the continuous flow attachment and into a
waiting bowl on the side of the unit.
8. Food pusher
The food pusher is used with the continuous
flow attachment. It guides food evenly down
the feed tube and onto the Slicing/Shredding
disc.

Chopping
For the best, most consistent results, you should
try to process pieces of food that are
approximately equal in size. When you break,
cut or tear food into uniform pieces before you
begin processing, the finished results will be
more uniform.
More consistent processing results are achieved
if the container is not overloaded.
Note: When processing a heavy load, check to be
sure Oskar 400 is sitting firmly on the bench top.
Mincing
Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm
square. Place the pieces in the processing bowl,
replace the cover and process for 15-20 seconds
or until evenly processed.
Vegetables
When processing vegetables such as onions, peel
and quarter. Place into processing bowl and turn
the unit ‘On’ and ‘Off’ 1 or 2 times to coarsely
chop, 3 to 4 times to finely chop. Scrape sides of
the container once or twice during processing if
necessary.
Mixing
The quantities that can be processed within the
processing bowl will vary with the density of the
mixture.
Adding Ingredients
When various recipes require dry ingredients
such as flour, add them directly into the
processing bowl before processing. There is no
need to shift ingredients when using your Oskar
400. Liquid ingredients may be added by pouring
the required amount through the pouring hole
in the cover.
Note: When processing sauces or semi-liquid
ingredients, stop the food processor and scrape
down the container sides and cover if necessary.
Blending
When blending liquids (eg: soup or drinks),
apply pressure to the cover to prevent leakage.
If contents are very hot, place a cloth over the
cover, before applying pressure.
Using the Feed Tube
The most important factor for successful slicing
and shredding is the way in which food is
packed into the feed tube.
When Slicing and Shredding
Cut all ingredients to a size that fits comfortably
into the feed tube. Pack the feed tube and while
holding food steady and upright with the food
pusher, press down evenly until all ingredients are
sliced or shredded. The more firmly you push, the
thicker the slices or shreds. Do not use excessive
force or you may damage the Oskar 400.
Note: Never use fingers to push food down the
feed tube. Always use the food pusher.
Handy Hints When Processing.

For best results when slicing
The feed tube should always be packed firmly to
allow each piece of food to support the others.
There will always be a small portion of food left
unprocessed between the food pusher and the
slicing/shredding disc.
Preparing longer slices
Pack food items horizontally in the feed tube (16).
Preparing shorter slices
Pack food items vertically in the feed tube (17).
For best results when shredding
Remember that softer foods such as cheese
(Cheddar, Mozzarella or Swiss) should be well
chilled before processing. Harder foods such as
Parmesan or Romano cheese should be at room
temperature before processing. Cheese can also
be chopped in the processing bowl.
11
Handy Hints When Processing (cont).
(16)
(17)

When you have finished processing, unplug your
Oskar 400 from the power outlet and remove the
Cover, Slicing/Shredding Disc or Processing Blade
and the Bowl from the Motor Base.
Motor Base
Wipe with a damp cloth.
Note: Never immerse in water or other liquid.
Never use a harsh detergent or abrasive.
Processing Bowl, Cover and Food Pusher
Wash in warm to hot water using a mild
detergent.
Processing Blade
To remove the processed ingredients, simply
remove the processing blade with processed food
clinging to it, then clean the blade with a spatula
before emptying the remaining food from the
processing container (18).
To clean inside the base shaft, use the back of a
knife or spoon handle to get right inside.
Processing Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc.
Wash in warm to hot water using a mild
detergent. The internal shaft can be cleaned with
a bottle brush and then dried thoroughly. If
using a dishwasher, always place in top shelf
away from the elements.
Food Odours and Stains
Strong smelling foods like garlic, fish and some
vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour or
stain on the processing bowl. To remove odour
from the processing bowl, always rinse with cold
water first. To remove slight staining, place a
small portion of bi-carbonate of soda onto a
damp cloth and rub the stain. Allow to stand for
a few minutes before washing up.
To remove more stubborn stains or odours,
immerse processing bowl in water mixed with a
little kitchen bleach and allow to stand
overnight.
Wash with a mild detergent the following day
and dry thoroughly. Store without lid in position
until next required.
Note: Never use any chemical, steel wool, harsh
abrasive cleaners, thinners or chemical dust cloths
for cleaning any parts of your food processor.
Important: The processing blade and
slicing/shredding disc are extremely sharp! Use
caution when handling and storing these parts.
Dishwasher Safe
All plastic components deteriorate through the
prolonged use of a dishwasher for cleaning.
However, parts of your Oskar 400 are tolerant to
dishwasher use.
These include the processing blade, reversible
slicing/shredding disc, ejector disc and the food
pusher.
Note: Place only on the top rack of your
dishwasher.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
125g toasted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon plain flour
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 egg white
110g caster sugar
Raw sugar, to sprinkle
Note: With this recipe use heaped tablespoon
measure.
1. In the processing bowl, process the hazelnuts,
cocoa, flour and coffee until a fine powder.
Mixture should be dry and rich in aroma and
colour.
2. Using Sunbeam electric beaters beat egg
whites until soft peaks are formed. Gradually
add sugar, beating well after each addition
of sugar until sugar is dissolved and mixture
is thick and glossy. Fold in hazelnut mixture
with a rubber spatula until all is well
combined. Mixture will be dry and stiff but
should hold a firm ball. It will be sticky.
3. With wet hands, roll teaspoon size balls and
place 2cm apart on a tray lined with baking
paper. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
4. Sprinkle with raw sugar and bake at 150°C
for 15-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Serving Tip: Best dipped into a freshly brewed
coffee.
