Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions.
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.
• 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.
• Always use extreme care when handling the slicing and
grating blades. These are extremely sharp and may
cause injury if handled incorrectly.
• Unplug from power outlet when not in use, before
putting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning.
• Avoid contact with moving parts at all times. Keep
hands, hair and clothing, as well as spatulas or any
other utensils, away from the food chute and cutting
discs during operation.
• Always use the food pusher to feed the food through the
food chute. Never stick your fingers into the food chute.
• Always make sure the safety latches on the main body
are properly affixed to the bowl before operation. As a
safety feature the unit will not operate unless the
safety latches are locked into place.
• Turn the control switch to the ‘Off’ position before
unplugging.
• All blades and attachments should be removed with
care before cleaning.
• Always remove the blade before emptying the
processor bowl of its contents.

Using your Sunbeam SaladExpress.
Before using your SaladExpress
• Wash each of the parts of the SaladExpress
thoroughly before use, as described in the
Care and Cleaning section of this instruction
booklet. Use warm water and a mild
detergent on all parts except the cover,
which should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Important: Do not immerse the cover of the
SaladExpress in water.
Important: Ensure that you handle the grating
and slicing discs with care as the blades are
extremely sharp.
• Dry each part thoroughly before use.
• Before you assemble the SaladExpress, ensure
that the power cord is unplugged.
Assembling the SaladExpress
1. Hold the cover of the SaladExpress upside
down, or place it upside down on a dry

drive shaft on the cover. Turn the twist cap in
a clockwise motion to fasten the disc securely
to the cover of the SaladExpress. See figure 1.
3. Place the processing/serving bowl on a clean,
dry, surface and set the basket inside it. See
figure 2.
4. Turn the cover of the SaladExpress right side
up and place it onto the processing/serving
bowl. The raised notches on the outside edge
of the grating and slicing discs fit inside the
lip of the basket.
5. Fasten both of the safety latches over the
edge of the bowl. Latches will snap into
place. See figure 3.
Important: As a safety feature, the SaladExpress
will not operate unless the latches are correctly

Your Sunbeam SaladExpress has a wide array of
uses; the only limit is your imagination. Here are
a few handy tips and suggestions:
• Always look for firm and bright coloured
fruit and vegetables.
• Fruit and vegetables should have a pleasant
odour, do not use if bruised, or blemished or
have a rotten smell.
• Always wash and clean fruit and vegetables
before grating and slicing.
• Make sure to prepare fruit and vegetables
for slicing and grating.
• Cut fruit and vegetables to size to fit the
food chute. Peel, trim or de-seed fruit and
vegetables, if necessary.
• Avoid cross contamination of foods.
• If making a mixed salad, always cut fruit’s
first, than vegetables and meats last.
• If slicing or grating individual foods for a
recipe always slice or grate that food than
wash blades and bowl before slicing or
grating the next fruit, vegetable and or
meat.
• We recommend not grating or slicing hard or
soft cheeses, and or fatty meats such as
salami, and or Devon.
• Do not force the food down the food chute,
as this will cause the machine to stall and
stop working.
• Always use the food pusher when using the
slicing or grating function.
• Use the grating disc to grate cabbage and
carrots for salads and stirfry’s.
• Using the slicing disc, slice mushrooms,
capsicums and onions for a quick and zesty
omelette.
• Grate or slice hard boiled eggs for salads
and dips.
• Slice turkey and or other cooked meats for
salads or an antipasto platter.
• Slice lettuce, olives, capiscum and chilli
peppers for taco toppings and Mexican
dishes.
• Slice potatoes for chips or grate them for
a delicious potato bake, hash browns or
potato pancakes.
• Grate carrots for carrot cake and or muffins.
• Grate fresh coconut for biscuits and cakes, or
use in curries, salad’s and or stirfry’s.
• Slice radishes, zucchini, celery and other
vegetables for hors d’oeuvres, vegetable
trays, soups, and roasts.
• Grate pickles, red peppers and onions for
hamburger relish.

When you have finished using your Sunbeam
SaladExpress, unplug the cord from the power
outlet before cleaning.
The processing bowl/serving bowl, basket,
cutting discs and food pusher can be washed in
hot soapy water. Rinse and dry these parts
thoroughly.
Important: Care must be taken when handling
the cutting discs as the blades are extremely
sharp.
To clean the cover of the SaladExpress, use a
damp cloth to remove any residue. Stubborn
stains can be removed with a mild non-abrasive
cleaner. Dry carefully before the next use.
Important: Never immerse the cover of the
Sunbeam SaladExpress in water.
Dishwasher Use
All plastic components deteriorate through the
prolonged use of a dishwasher for cleaning.
However the processing/serving bowl, basket,
cutting discs and food pusher are tolerant to
dishwasher use.
If using the dishwasher, place parts only on the
top rack of your dishwasher.
Important: Do not wash the cover of the
Sunbeam SaladExpress in the dishwasher.
Storage
For compact storage of the SaladExpress, place
the food pusher in the basket, place basket in
the processing/serving bowl, and turn the cover
upside down so it fits in the bowl.
