Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR DEEP
FRYER
.
• Before use always ensure that the internal
tank is positioned correctly in the fryer body. ie
the max/min level should be on the left of the
fryer.
• Never connect the fryer to the electricity
supply without placing oil in the tank first.
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 insert or 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 a qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on 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 should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• If using solid fat, remove the lid and the
basket, cut the fat into pieces and place them
directly into the tank. Do not melt solid fat
in the frying basket as it may damage the
appliance.
• Never operate the fryer with oil level below the
minimum mark or above the maximum mark.
• Do not touch any metal surfaces of the product
while it is in use as they will be hot.
• 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 on 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.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed 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 Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• 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 power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance, please visit www.
sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Features of your Sunbeam
Stainless Deep Fryer
Lid
Featuring a permanent, washable mesh filter
that allows steam to escape whilst aiding
in the filtration of oil droplets. It also has a
large viewing window to monitor your results.
Basket with 1.25kg food capacity
The removable mesh cooking basket has a
1.25kg food capacity. The basket has two
frying levels and you can shake it whilst
cooking just like a commercial deep fryer.
The basket also features a cool touch handle
which folds away for easy storage.
Stainless steel tank
The large stainless steel tank holds an oil
capacity of 4.0 litres.
4
Non slip feet
Keeps the deep fryer secure on the
bench, for safer frying.
Cool-Zone
The 2400 watt heating element is suspended
in the oil, creating a ‘cool-zone’ at the
bottom of the vessel. This prevents cooking
debris burning which will effectively double
the useful lifespan of the oil compared with
other deep fryers.
Temperature control light
Temperature control light indicates when the
deep fryer is heating the oil.
Power on light
The power on light indicates when the deep
fryer is switched on.
On/off switch
The on/off switch turns the deep fryer on
and off.
Variable thermostat control
The variable thermostat provides a wide range
of temperature settings, accurately controlling
the temperature of the oil, suiting a range
of different foods. The variable control also
prolongs the life of the oil.
Reset button
Due to the safety thermostat that switches
your fryer off in case of overheating, the reset
button allows you to reset your stainless deep
fryer once the appliance has cooled down.
Cord storage
For convenient storage, on the back of the
control unit there is a compartment for the
cord to be kept when not in use.

cleaning instructions on page 11 and clean
the fryer and basket.
Note: All parts must be dried thoroughly.
3. Place the fryer on a flat and stable surface
away from any heating source and where it
cannot be splashed with water.

Note: Do not mix different types of oil.
3. Lower the basket into the oil.
4. Replace the lid of the fryer.
5. Insert the plug into a 230 - 240 volt power
outlet and turn the power on by using the
on/off switch.
6. Rotate the temperature control knob to the
temperature that you wish to cook the food.
The red indicator light will turn on and the
heating element will begin heating the oil.
Safety Feature of the thermostat
Your stainless deep fryer is equipped with a
safety thermostat that switches your fryer off
in case of overheating.
This will be activated when the desired
temperature of the oil is reached, the
red indicator light will turn off and the
power supplied to the heating element is
automatically cut off. The fryer is now ready
to cook. When the oil temperature drops, the
heating element will switch on automatically.
This may also occur if there is no (or too
little) oil in the tank. If the thermostat has
switched the fryer off, allow your fryer to cool
down and carefully press the reset button
concealed in the opening at the back of the
fryer

Cooking in your Stainless Deep Fryer
There are two methods of cooking in your
fryer; one general method for most foodstuffs
and another for home battered products.
Note: During cooking, steam will build up in
the fryer, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen
glove or mitt to protect your hand.
General cooking method
(For pre-cooked, crumbed, floured or wrapped
food.)
1. Adjust the control dial to the desired
temperature. The red temperature indicator
light will illuminate.
2. When the oil has reached the required
temperature, the light will go out. Remove
the lid, lift the basket and put it on the
rest
➃
so that it is not in contact with the
oil. Place the food, (should be as dry as
possible) into the raised basket.
Note: The basket should always be in the
raised position when it is to be filled with
food.
3. Lower the basket into the tank and replace
the lid.
4. You may choose to cook with the (filter) lid
in place or without it.
5. When the food is cooked (see time guide
chart on page 9), place the basket on its
raised position to drain for a few seconds.
6. Remove the basket and put the fried food
on a plate covered with absorbent paper or
kitchen towel.
7. When finished with the fryer, turn the
temperature knob to the lowest setting
and switch the power off. Remove the plug
from mains power.
8. Clean the fryer only after the oil is
completely cooled down.

Cooking home battered food
This method allows for the fact that if wet
batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking
the food may stick to the basket. This
method of cooking requires extreme care.
1. Adjust the control dial to the desired
temperature. The red temperature indicator
light will illuminate.
2. When the oil has reached the required
temperature the light will go out.
Note: Leave the basket in the down
position.
3. Remove the lid of the fryer.
4. Coat the food in batter and allow it to drain
slightly to get rid of the excess coating.
5. Very carefully, slowly lower the coated food
into the hot oil, using a suitable implement
or tongs. This allows the batter to become
solid and prevents it sealing to the mesh of
the basket.
Note: Remember to take care as the oil
may spit as the food is added.
You can now follow the instructions as given
in the general cooking method, steps 4 - 8.
Hints for perfect frying
1. Never use the fryer without oil.
2. Always use the best quality oil possible. We
recommend corn, nut, seed or vegetable
oils. Never use butter, margarine or olive
oils.
3. Avoid mixing oils of different qualities or
types.
4. Change the oil when it becomes brown or
milky in colour.
5. Take into account the food to be cooked
before setting the frying temperature. As a
general guide precooked food will need a
higher temperature than raw food, and the
larger the individual items the lower the
8
temperature should be.
6. Large pieces of food should not be deep
fried, as they take to long to cook thus
absorbing too much oil.
7. Fry small amounts at a time, adding too
much at a time will decrease the oils
temperature and increase the chance that
food will stick together.
8. Make sure that food is dry before frying,
wet food will splatter.
9. Always dry or roll wet food in flour before
coating in a batter. Otherwise the extra
steam created will separate the coating
from the food.
