Usage Instructions

Before First Use

Before using your Frypan and Skillet 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 and Skillet

1. Place on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Insert the control probe fully into the probe inlet of the frypan or skillet.
3. Plug the cord into 230-240V power outlet and turn the power on.
4. Pre heat the frypan and skillet on MED/MAX setting. Then set the control probe dial to the desired temperature setting. Refer to 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 and skillet maintains the correct temperature. On the initial heating of the frypan and skillet, 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 and skillet when in use.

Do not touch the frypan and skillet when in use. Avoid touching hot surfaces. Take care when removing food from the frypan and skillet. Do not transport the frypan and skillet 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 or skillet. 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 in 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 and skillet 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 or skillet have cooled down, you may wipe using a paper towel to remove residue on the frypan or skillet. With the control probe detached, wash with warm soapy water using a mild household detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry the frypan or skillet 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 or skillet is cleaned and the control probe inlet must be dried before the frypan or skillet is used again.

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

Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Alternatively, wash the lid in a dishwasher.

Temperature Setting Guide

The settings on the dial represent the following temperatures approximately.
Pre-heat your frypan or skillet on MAX setting then change to your desired setting.

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.

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 pan 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.
