Using Your Multicooker - Sunbeam DF4400 Instruction Booklet

Using your Multicooker

Before the first use
Wash, rinse and dry your Multicooker Deep
Fryer, basket and lid, "Season" the cooking
surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil
and rub in with paper towelling.
1.Insert the Control Probe into the inlet on
the Multicooker Deep Fryer.
2. Plug the cord into a 230-240V power
outlet and turn the power on.
3.
Preheat the multicooker on setting 7-8
then set the Control Probe Dial to the
desired temperature setting. Refer to
page 6 for the temperature guide.
The light on the control probe will illuminate.
This light will remain on until the set
temperature has been reached and then will
cycle on and off throughout cooking, as the
cooking temperature is maintained by the
thermostat.
Hint: On initial heating of the Multicooker
Deep Fryer, it is recommended that the
temperature be allowed to cycle (the light
glowing on and off) several times. This will
help the cooking surface to adjust to a more
accurate cooking temperature.
Note: The Multicooker Deep Fryer must only
be used with the Control Probe provided.
Saucepan cooking
The multicooker is not just suitable for deep
frying, but it has many other uses. Use the
cooking vessel without the Deep Fryer Basket
as a rice and a pasta boiler, for simmering
soups and large stews, preparing spaghetti
sauce and braising roasts.
Deep fry cooking
1. Place the deep fryer on a flat and stable
surface away from any heating source and
where it cannot be splashed with water.
2. Remove the lid. NEVER USE THE LID
WHEN DEEP FRYING.

into the vessel until it reaches 'MAX' mark
indicated on the inside of the non-stick
vessel. (approx 2lt)
Note: Do not mix different types of oil.
4. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt power
outlet and turn the power on by using the
on/off switch.
5. Heat the oil to the cooking temperature as
recommended by the recipe. Rotate the
dial on the temperature control probe to
the temperature that you wish to cook the
food.

the handle backwards until it locks into
position.
7. Place your food inside the basket, and
gently lower the basket into the oil.
8. Cook your food for recommended time as
per the recipe, or as desired.
9. When the food is cooked, (ensuring that
the handle is locked in position) gently
lift the basket directly out of the cooking
vessel. Tilt the basket so that the draining
lever rests securely on the inside rim of the
cooking vessel. (see diagram below)

absorbent paper.
