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.
• Use well away from walls and curtains.
• Do not immerse the control probe in water
or any other liquid.
• Do not use the control probe in any other
appliance.
• For indoor use, adequate ventilation or an
exhaust fan is recommended.
• Always use this appliance under a sheltered
roof when cooking outdoors.
• Do not leave plastic utensils in contact with
appliance while cooking.
• Only use appliance fully assembled with all
parts correctly in place, as specified in this

Features of your Compact BBQ Grill.
Non-Stick Coating
Your Sunbeam Compact BBQ Grill features
DuPonts' toughest non-stick coating produced
to date - Platinum with ScratchGuard.
DuPont is the world leader in non-stick coatings
with the introduction of Teflon dating back to
1938. Today more than 2 billion households
have Teflon non-stick coated cookware.
Teflon Platinum is a premium 3 layer non-stick
coating. It features special scratch resistant
minerals causing metal utensils to slide over
these particles without damaging the Teflon
matrix.
This preserves the release properties of the
non-stick coating during the life of the
Compact BBQ Grill.
The end result is a non-stick coating that can be
treated like ordinary cookware, enabling the use
of metal utensils such as spatulas and spoons,
but not sharp utensils.
So tough is the new
Teflon Platinum
coating that it is
up to 10 times
more scratch
resistant than
other non-stick
coatings*.
The image show
here is an
example of the
performance of
Teflon Platinum
against an 'other'
non-stick coating.
Each surface has
undergone 5
cycles of the
DuPont In-House Abuse Test.
The Teflon Platinum only has some surface
scuffing, whereas the 'other' non-stick coating
has deteriorate badly.
* The images shown here and performance
claims are based upon the DuPont In-House
Cooking Abuse Test used to evaluate scratch
resistance and release properties of non-stick
coatings.

How to use your Sunbeam Compact BBQ Grill.
Before first use.
Remove sticker from hotplate. Wash the
hotplate and drip tray in warm soapy water
using a mild household detergent. Dry hotplate
and drip tray thoroughly.
Place drip tray into base. For easy cleaning line
the drip tray with aluminium foil. This will
collect the fats and juices.
Position the hotplate over base and drip tray, as
shown in Figure 1.
For better non-stick performance, “season” the
cooking surface of the hotplate by applying a
thin coat of cooking oil and rubbing in with
paper towelling before each use.
WARNING: Charcoal or similar combustible fuels
must not be used with this appliance.
Using your BBQ Grill.
1. Insert the Control Probe fully into the socket
of the hotplate.
2. Plug the cord into a 230/240V power outlet
and turn the power on.
3. Set the control probe dial to the desired
heat setting, or the heat setting
recommended in the recipe. When the
thermostat light on the control probe
switches off, the desired cooking
temperature has been reached and the
Compact BBQ Grill is ready to use.
Note: The thermostat light on the control probe
indicates the Compact BBQ Grill is heating. This
light will remain ON until the set temperature
has been reached and then will cycle ON and
OFF throughout cooking. This will ensure that
the Compact BBQ Grill always maintains the
selected temperature.
The pre-heat time will depend on the heat
setting selected. If a high heat setting is
selected, a longer pre-heat time is required.

Handy Hints.
• Tender cuts of meat such as scotch fillet and
sirloin are ideal for grilling. Tougher cuts of
meat such as topside or blade steak will
tenderise if marinated for a few hours or
overnight.
• Avoid turning food regularly. Once the food
has been seared on both sides, cook food at
a reduced heat setting. This prevents the
food from drying out and will cook your
food more evenly. Avoid overcooking meat
as the texture will toughen.
• The ribbed hotplate is ideal for cooking a
variety of meats, including beef, fish and
poultry. The drainage holes allow the fats
and juices to drain into the drip tray for
healthy fat free cooking.
• The flat hotplate is ideal for cooking a
variety of foods such as eggs, bacon,
mushrooms, tomatoes and onions. It is also
handy for keeping foods warm, including
stuffed mushrooms, filled potatoes or corn
on the cob.
• The variable heat control has a wide range
of heat settings ideal for specific cooking
tasks. The table below lists suggested heat
settings.
Note:
The Compact BBQ Grill will reach the cooking temperature in 5 minutes on heat setting 12.
The hotplate is then ready for cooking. The indicator light will remain ON for a further 5 minutes
until the temperature begins to cycle.
Note:
When barbecuing on high heat settings, the Compact BBQ Grill will generate smoke. Selecting a
lower heat setting will reduce smoke. For indoor use, adequate ventilation is recommended.
Setting Function
1 - 4 Low heat settings - keep warm
5 - 8 Medium heat settings - to cook food thoroughly
9 - 12 High heat settings - searing

Care and Cleaning.
Do not leave plastic utensils in contact with
hotplate while cooking.
Before cleaning, turn the power OFF then
REMOVE the plug from the power outlet and
the control probe from the socket of the
Compact BBQ Grill.
DuPont Teflon®Platinum
Non-stick Coating
Your Compact BBQ Grill features a special
scratch and abrasive-resistant non-stick coating
that makes it safe to use metal utensils when
cooking.
Regardless of this fact Sunbeam recommends
that care is taken with the non-stick coating
particularly when using metal utensils.
Do not use sharp objects or cut food on top of
the BBQ Grill. Sunbeam will not be liable for
damage to the non-stick coating where metal
utensils have been misused.
When cleaning the non-stick coating do not use
metal (or other abrasive) scourers. After
cleaning, dry the BBQ Grill and lid thoroughly
with a soft cloth before storing.
Always turn the power OFF and REMOVE the
plug from the power point before cleaning.
Remove the Control Probe from the socket of
the Compact BBQ Grill.
Control Probe.
If cleaning is necessary, wipe over with a damp
cloth.
Do not immerse the control probe in water or
any other liquid.
NEVER use the Compact BBQ Grill control probe
in any other Sunbeam appliance.
Storage
Store the probe carefully in a safe place. Do not
knock or drop it as this can damage the probe. If
damage is suspected, return the control probe
to your nearest Sunbeam Service Centre for
inspection. Refer to the back of your instruction
book for Service Centre listings.
Hotplate and Drip Tray.
The element in the hotplate is totally sealed, so
it is safe to fully immerse in water. Wash the
hotplate and drip tray in warm soapy water
using a mild household detergent and a soft
washing sponge.
A bottle brush may be used to clean the
drainage holes in the ribbed hotplate.
The hotplate and drip tray are also dishwasher
safe.
Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they
will scratch the non-stick cooking surface. Dry
the hot plate and drip tray thoroughly before
storing.
Moulded Base.
The base can be wiped over with a damp cloth
or washed in warm soapy water using a mild
household detergent and a soft washing
sponge.
Do not place the moulded base in a dishwasher.
Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they
may scratch the base.
Storage.
Always dry and assemble the Compact BBQ Grill
before storing. Ensure the drip tray and hotplate
are correctly positioned.
Store the assembled Compact BBQ Grill on a flat
surface on your benchtop or cupboard.
Important:
Before inserting control probe in probe socket
ensure the interior of the socket is fully dry. To
do this wipe interior of socket with a dry cloth
or shake out excess water vigorously.
