Note: The temperatures given are a guide only
and may require adjustment to suit various
foods and individual tastes.
Simmering: When the dial is set to a low
setting, it is quite normal for food to stop and
start bubbling, as the thermostat maintains the
selected temperature when the food stops
bubbling.

Using your frypan.
Before the first use: Wash, rinse and dry your
frypan and lid, “Season” the cooking surface by
applying a thin coat of cooking oil and rub in
with paper towelling.
The thermostat light on the Control Probe
indicates the temperature at which the dial is set.
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.
1. Insert the Control Probe into the socket on
the frypan.
2. Plug the cord into a 230-240V power outlet
and turn the power on.
Hint: On initial heating of the frypan, 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.
3. Set the Control Probe Dial to the desired
temperature setting. Refer to page 7 for the
temperature guide.
Note: The frypan must only be used with the
Control Probe provided.
Care and Cleaning.
If damage is suspected, return the Control Probe
to your nearest Sunbeam Appliance Service
Centre for inspection Refer to the separate
warranty and service centre booklet.
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.
Glass lid
Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a soft
sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly. The glass lid
is dishwasher safe.
NEVER IMMERSE THE CONTROL PROBE IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Note: Take care when glass lid is hot. Do not
place hot lid under water or on cold surfaces.
This may cause lid to crack.
Storage: Store the Control Probe carefully. Do not
knock or drop it as this can damage the probe.
Stainless steel cooking surface.
The Sunbeam stainless steel cooking surface is
manufactured from high quality stainless steel.
Stainless steel is hygienic, easy to care for and
extremely durable. To keep your stainless steel
cooking surface looking good and to achieve
the best results, follow these simple instructions:
Do not use high temperatures to brown and seal
meat as this will cause it to stick. Use settings 7-
8. Food such as steaks, rissoles and roasts will
also stick if turned before completely browned
and sealed.
Note: To prevent food from sticking,
maintain low temperatures, ensure
sufficient juices are in the frypan and
season the frypan before and after each
use. This will decrease as the frypan
receives continual use.
Before the first use: “Season” the cooking
surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil or
butter and rub in with paper towelling. This will
also be necessary after cleaning in a dishwasher.
Use sufficient oil when sauteeing, pan frying
and roasting to prevent food sticking. Two to
three tablespoons is generally sufficient.
Do not use metal utensils. Continued use of
knives, forks or spoons will eventually start to

mark the stainless steel cooking surface. Use
plastic or wooden utensils.
lifts. For stubborn burnt-on food, leave the
frypan to soak overnight, after first simmering
as described. Then wash and dry thoroughly.
To clean after each use: Wash in hot soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To remove
cooked-on food, fill the pan with hot water and
allow to stand for a few minutes. This will
soften the food, making cleaning easier.
Removing stubborn stains. These can be
removed by using any brand of stainless steel
powder cleaner can be used on stubborn stains
on the cooking surface only.
Note: Never fill a hot frypan with cold
water.
Rubbing a paste of bicarbonate of soda and
water into the stained area is also helpful in
removing stains. Wash thoroughly.
Do not use abrasives or scourers. Avoid
using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as
continued use will scratch the highly polished
surface and make subsequent cleaning more
difficult.
Note: Re-Season the cooking surface after using
any of the above methods to remove stains.
Dishwasher-safe. Your stainless steel frypan is
completely dishwasher-safe. The heating
element is totally sealed so it is safe to fully
immerse in water.
Removing burnt-on food. Fill the pan with
20mm (1”) water, cover and simmer for five
minutes or until the burnt-on food softens and
Cooking with your Sunbeam frypan.
Boiling.
Browning and sealing meat.
Pasta.
It is necessary to brown and seal meat in many
recipes. Meat retains it’s juices and the flavours
develop after browning and sealing. This also
prevents it from sticking when baking or
roasting.
1. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on setting 5.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to stop the pasta
from sticking together.
2. Add 250g (1 cup) of pasta and cook until
tender, for approximately 8-12 minutes.
Preferably use meat that is at room
temperature, as this reduces the cooking time.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils
too rapidly.
1. Pre-heat the frypan to settings 7-8. If using
an aluminium or stainless steel frypan, pre-
heat with approximately 1-2 tablespoons of oil.
Note: Cooking times will vary with different
types of pasta.
2. Brown meat on all sides, with the lid off.
Rice.
3. After sealing, reduce the temperature to
settings 4-5 and replace the lid until the meat
is cooked as desired. Steaks should only
require turning once or twice.
1. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on setting 5.
Add 250g (1 cup) of rice and position the lid.
2. Cook until tender, approximately 10-12
minutes, and then drain.
Frying.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils
too rapidly. Stir occasionally so that the rice
does not stick.
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.
9
Pan Frying: Suitable for eggs, omelettes, bacon,
sausages, steaks and chicken pieces. Pre-heat to
settings 5-6 with a little oil to prevent food from
sticking and to add flavour. For non-stick
cooking surfaces, the amount of oil can be
reduced.
Roasting.
Meat and poultry: The frypan is ideal for
roasting meat and poultry, as the meat retains
the flavour and juices.
1. Pre-heat the frypan on settings 7-8. Use only
a small amount of oil for less fatty joints and
no oil for fattier joints of meat.
Shallow Frying: Suitable for vegetable pieces
e.g roast pumpkin and potato, and crumbed
food. Pre-heat on settings 6-8 with sufficient oil
so that the food is half immersed. Cook food
with the lid off.
2. Brown and seal the meat on all sides and
position the lid.
3. After browning, turn the dial to settings 4-5
to cook the meat as desired.
Sauteeing: Pre-heat on settings 5-6, with a little
oil to prevent food from sticking and to add
flavour.
4. Turn the meat during cooking, set a side and
cover with foil while you prepare the gravy
from the juices in the frypan.
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.
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.
1. Pre-heat the frypan on settings 7-8 with a
little oil.
Roasting Times:
Note: These times are for well done. Reduce the
times to suit personal taste.
2. Add vegetables,meat 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 still slightly crisp. The
lid can be in position in the last few minutes
of cooking.
PORK: 30-40 minutes per 500g after browning.
VEAL: 30-40 minutes per 500g after browning.
LAMB: 25-30 minutes per 500g after browning.
Reheating food.
Pies: Pre-heat the frypan on settings 7-8. Place
the pies on a rack in the frypan.
CHICKEN: 30-35 minutes per 500g after
browning.
Toasting sandwiches.
Use a skewer or knife to check that they are
heated through before serving.
Up to four sandwiches can be toasted at one
time. Choose fillings which will hold together
and not run out of the sandwich.
Bread rolls: Frozen or thawed. Pre-heat the
frypan to settings 7-8.Place on a rack in the
frypan. Bread rolls can be wrapped individually
in foil to prevent drying
1. Pre-heat the frypan on settings 5-7.
2. Butter the bread well and place the
sandwiches into the frypan with the buttered
sides on the outside.
Frozen pre-packaged dinners: Pre-heat the
frypan on settings 7-8. Remove the frozen
dinners from the cardboard cover and place on
a rack in the frypan and position the lid.
3. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes
on each side.
