Trigger Release Control Probe
The probe is thermostatically controlled
and incorporates an indicator light which
switches off automatically when the
temperature selected has been reached
and then cycles on and off to indicate
that the selected temperature is being
maintained. The trigger release makes
removal of the probe easy.
The settings on the dial represent the following temperatures approximately.
Pre-heat your frypan on MAX setting then change to your desired setting.
DIAL

MED120°C - 140°CPan fryingMEDIUM
MED/MAX150°C - 175°CShallow frying, roasting
MAX190°C - 210°CSearing and sealingHIGH
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.
10
Using your Sunbeam Fryware
Before the first use: Wash, rinse and dry your
frypan and lid.
1. Insert the control probe into the inlet on
the frypan.
2. Plug the cord into a 230-240V power
outlet and turn the power on.
3. Pre heat the frypan on MED/MAX setting.
Then set the control probe dial to the
desired temperature setting. Refer to page
10 for the temperature guide.
Note: The light on the control probe will
illuminate and will remain on until the
set temperature is reached. It will then
cycle on and off throughout cooking, as
the temperature is maintained by the
thermostat. On initial heating of the frypan,
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.
Adjustable lid holder
(Models FP5610P, FP5900P)
This is a stepped catch on the side of the lid.
It allows the lid to rest above the frypan and
eliminates the need to find a spot on the
bench. When in position the lid also acts as
a splatter shield. The lid can rest on either
side without handles, making it easy for left
or right handed use.
Using the tilt & baste lever
(Models FP5610P, FP5900P, FP5910, FP5920)
The tilt & baste lever 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.
Trigger release control probe
The probe is thermostatically controlled and
incorporates an indicator light which switches
off automatically when the temperature
selected has been reached. It then cycles
on and off to indicate that the selected
temperature is being maintained.
11
Cooking with your Sunbeam
Fryware
Baking
(Models FP5610P, FP5900P, FP5910, FP5920)
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
(Models FP5610P, FP5900P, FP5910, FP5920)
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.
Boiling Pasta
(Models FP5610P)
1. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on
MED setting.
2. Add 250g (1½ cups) of pasta and cook
until tender, for approximately 8-12
minutes.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils
too rapidly.
Note: Cooking times will vary with different
types of pasta.
Boiling Rice
(Models FP5610P)
1. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil on MED
setting. Add 200g (1 cup) of rice and
position the lid.
2. Cook until tender, approximately 10-12
minutes, and then drain.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils
too rapidly. Stir occasionally so that the
rice does not stick.
Browning and Sealing Meat
(All models)
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.
12
Cooking with your Sunbeam Fryware continued
Frying
(All models)
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.
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
(All models)
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.
PORK 30-40 minutes per 500g
after browning.
VEAL30-40 minutes per 500g
after browning.
BEEF20-25 minutes per 500g
after browning.
LAMB25-30 minutes per 500g
after browning.
CHICKEN30-35 minutes per 500g
after browning.

Care and Cleaning
Always turn the power off and remove the
plug from the power outlet after use and
before cleaning. Allow appliance to cool
before cleaning.
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.
Important: Do not immerse the control probe in
water or any other liquid.
Store the control probe carefully. Do not
knock or drop it as this can damage the
probe. If damage is suspected, return the
control probe to your nearest Sunbeam
Appointed Service Centre for inspection.
High domed metal lid
(Models: FP5900P, SK4200P)
Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a
soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly. Metal
scourers will scratch the surface and should
be avoided. Some food such as tomato paste
and curry may stain the surface. This staining
may be removed or reduced by rubbing with
a cream cleanser or a paste of bicarbonate of
soda and water.
Note: Do not place metal lid in a dishwasher.
Glass lid (FP5910, FP5920)
Wash the lid in warm soapy water using
a soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Alternatively, wash the lid in a dishwasher.
To clean interior and exterior surface
• When cleaning the EasyClean
coating do not use metal (or other abrasive)
scourers. After cleaning, dry the frypan/
skillet and lid with a soft cloth before
storing.
• Wash the pan and base in hot soapy water
or in a dishwasher. Remove stubborn spots
with a plastic washing pad or sponge.
• The heating element is totally sealed,
making the frypan or skillet safe to fully
immerse in water, or place in a dishwasher.
