Usage Instructions
Before First Use
Before using your Frypan for the first time,
remove all packaging and promotional
materials from the product and control probe.
With the control probe detached, wash with
warm soapy water using a mild household
detergent.
Rinse thoroughly and dry. Make sure the
interior of the probe inlet is fully dry.
Note: Do not immerse the heat control probe in
water or any other liquid.
Using your Frypan
1.Place on a flat, level, heat-resistant
surface.
2.Insert the control probe fully into the probe
inlet of the frypan.
3.Plug the cord into 230-240V power outlet
and turn the power on.
4.Pre heat the frypan on MED/MAX setting.
Then set the control probe dial to the
desired temperature setting. Refer to page
9 for the temperature guide.
Note: The thermostat light on the control
probe indicates the temperature at which the
dial is set. The light will remain on until the
set temperature has been reached and then
will cycle on and off throughout the cooking.
This will ensure that the frypan maintains
the correct temperature. On the initial
heating of the frypan , it is recommended
that the temperature be allowed to cycle (the
light cycling on and off) several times. This
will help the cooking surface to adjust to a
more accurate cooking temperature.
5.After you have completed cooking, turn
the power OFF and unplug from the power
outlet.
Note: Ensure the cord is kept well away from
the frypan when in use.
Caution: Do not touch the frypan when in
use. Avoid touching hot surfaces. Take care
when removing food from the frypan . Do not
transport the frypan when it is hot.
Using the tilt & baste lever
The tilt & baste lever of the frypan is positioned
under the inlet where the control probe is
inserted. To tilt the frypan, push the lever
down. This allows the fat and juices to drain
from the food for crisp, low fat cooking. It also
makes it easier to baste food and serve sauces
or gravy.

Care & Cleaning
Use heat-resistant plastic or wooden or
silicone utensils when cooking on the frypan.
Avoid using sharp or metal objects as these
will scratch the non-stick surface. Do not cut
food on top of the cooking surface. Do not
leave plastic utensils om contact with the
cooking surface while in use.
To clean after use
Always turn the power off and remove the
plug from the power outlet and the control
probe from the probe inlet before cleaning.
Allow the frypan to cool before cleaning.
DiamondForce™ non-stick coating
When cleaning with the DiamondForce™
non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other
abrasrive scourer). When the frypan have
cooled down, you may wipe using a paper
towel to remove residue on the frypan .
With the control probe detached, wash with
warm soapy water using a mild household
detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry the
frypan with a soft cloth before storing. Make
sure the interior of the probe inlet is fully dry.
Heat Control probe
If cleaning is necessary, wipe over with a
damp cloth.
Note: The control probe must be removed
before the frypan is cleaned and the control
probe inlet must be dried before the frypan is
used again.
Important: Do not immerse the control probe
in water or any other liquid. Store the crontrol
probe carefully. Do not knock or drop it as this
can damage the probe.
Storage
Store the control 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.
Glass lid

Temperature Setting Guide
Note: The temperature settings are a guide only and may require adjustment to suit various
foods and individual tastes. When the dial is set to a MIN setting, it is quite normal for
food to stop and start bubbling, as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature.
The settings on the dial represent the following temperatures approximately.
Pre-heat your frypan on MAX setting then change to your desired setting.

Cooking Guide
Baking
Your frypan can be used for baking cakes,
with deliciously moist results.
1.Preheat the frypan to MAX setting, with the
lid on.
2.Elevate the cake pan or tray from the base
of the frypan using a small wire rack.
Cooking times will be longer than those of a
conventional oven.
Basting
The tilt & baste lever makes basting easy as
it allows the juices to drain to one side of the
pan. Reduce the temperature to prevent any
fat and juices splattering. Position the pan
tilt lever and spoon the juices over the food
as desired.
Browning and Sealing Meat
It is necessary to brown and seal meat in
many recipes. Meat retains its juices and the
flavours develop after browning and sealing.
This also prevents it from sticking when
baking or roasting. Preferably use meat that
is at room temperature, as this reduces the
cooking time.
1.Preheat the frypan to MED/MAX setting.
2.Brown meat on all sides, with the lid off.
3.After sealing, reduce the temperature to
MED setting and replace the lid until the
meat is cooked as desired.
Frying
The frypan is ideal for shallow or dry frying.
Deep frying is not particularly suitable as
the frypan has shallow sides and a greater
surface area, which results in heat loss and
the possible overflow of oil.
Pan frying: Suitable for eggs, omelettes,
bacon, sausages, steaks and chicken pieces.
Preheat to MED setting with a little oil to add
flavour. Non-stick cooking surfaces do not
require a large amount of oil. Steaks should
only be turned once during cooking.
Shallow frying: Suitable for vegetable pieces
e.g roast pumpkin and potato, and crumbed
food. Preheat on MED setting with sufficient
oil so that the food is half immersed. Cook
food with the lid off.
Sautéeing: Preheat on MED setting with a
little oil to add flavour.
Stir frying: Food is cooked quickly, over a high
heat and vegetables retain their flavour and
crispness. For best results and even cooking,
cut food into even sized, smaller pieces.
1.Preheat the frypan on MED/MAX setting
with a little oil.
2.Slice meat into strips. Coat meat in a little
oil and stir-fry in batches until browned.
This prevents meat from stewing.
3.Add vegetables and seasoning, stirring
continuously. Vegetables which take longer
to cook, such as carrots, should be cooked
first, adding the other ingredients later.
Cook until the vegetables are crisp.
Return the meat back into the pan when
the vegetables are almost cooked. The lid
can be in position in the last few minutes
of cooking.

Roasting
Meat and poultry: The frypan is ideal for
roasting meat and poultry, as the meat
retains the flavour and juices.
1.Preheat the frypan to MED/MAX setting.
Use only a small amount of oil for less
fatty joints and no oil for fattier joints of
meat.
2.Brown and seal the meat on all sides and
position the lid.
3.After browning, turn the dial to MED
setting to cook the meat as desired. Turn
meat occasionally during cooking to ensure
even cooking.
4.Remove meat from pan and cover with
foil. Allow meat to rest for 5-10 minutes,
meanwhile you can make a gravy from the
juices in the frypan.
Vegetables: Cut into even sized pieces. Add
to the frypan 45-60 minutes before serving.
For crisper vegetables, remove the meat and
increase the heat for the last few minutes of
cooking.
Roasting times:
Note: These times are for well done. Reduce
the times to suit personal taste.
PORK 30-40 minutes per 500g after
browning.
VEAL 30-40 minutes per 500g after
browning.
BEEF 20-25 minutes per 500g after
browning.
LAMB 25-30 minutes per 500g after
browning.
CHICKEN 30-35 minutes per 500g after
browning.
