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 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 your electricity supplier or qualified technician.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the underside of 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 or infirm persons 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 in 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.
• Do not immerse in water.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by unskilled persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using tamperproof means as specified by S.A.A. (Standards Association of Australia). Such appliances should always be returned to the nearest Sunbeam Service Centre or appointed Service Agent 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 Appliance Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment. As a service to Customers, Sunbeam Appliance Service Centres will carry out a free check on your appliance to ensure it is electrically safe.
• 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 the power outlet in use.
• Use your frypan at least 200mm away from walls and curtains.
• Do not immerse the Control Probe in water.
• If using a plastic spatula do not leave in cooking vessel when hot.
• Avoid using on metal surfaces e.g. sink, hotplate.
• Do not place hot glass lid under cold water.

Removable Control Probe.
The Control Probe is thermostatically controlled. The indicator light switches of automatically when the temperature selected has been reached and then cycles on and off to indicate that the selected temperature is being maintained.
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.
High Domed and Glass Lid.
With the lid in place, the frypan can be used as an oven, giving you the versatility to bake cakes, roast larger pieces of beef, lamb and chicken.
The lid also retains heat and moisture when simmering foods such as casseroles.
Adjustable Steam Vent.
The steam vent allows moisture to escape without losing too much heat. Keep the vent closed when baking cakes, scones or whenever cooking food where it is necessary to retain the heat and/or moisture. The vent should be left open for a crisper result. When roasting chicken and meat, open the vent in the last 15 minutes of cooking to crispen.

Adjustable Lid Holder.
(Model FP112/FP6700). 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 spatter shield.
The lid can rest on either side handle, making it easy for left or right handed use.
Pan Tilt Lever
(Models FP4610, FP112, FP6510, FP6710 only) The Pan Tilt lever is positioned under the socket
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 gravies.
Detachable Base.
The base can be removed for easy, thorough cleaning. This also allows the frypan to fit easily into dishwasher or sink. The Removable Base is also dishwasher-safe.
To remove the base for cleaning:
1. Turn the frypan upside down (as illustrated below) and turn the knob in the centre of the base anti-clockwise.
2. Lift the base from the frypan. The knob will remain attached to the base.
3. To clean, follow the cleaning instructions in this book for your model frypan.
Sealed Element.
The heating element is fully sealed, so the frypans are dishwasher-safe and can be fully immersed in water for easy, thorough cleaning.
Model FP112, FP6700 has 4 positions.

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:
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 high temperatures to brown and seal meat as this will cause it to stick. Use settings 7-
Care and Cleaning.
Control Probe.
If cleaning is necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.
NEVER IMMERSE THE CONTROL PROBE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Storage: 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 Appliance Service Centre for inspection Refer to the back of your instruction book.
High Domed Lid - White
These lids are powder coated. Wash lid in warm soapy water using a soft sponge, rinse & dry thoroughly. Metal scourers will scratch the surface and should be avoided.
Some food such as tomato paste and curry may stain the powder coat 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 lid in a dishwasher.
Glass and Stainless Steel lids
Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly. The glass and stainless steel lids are dishwasher safe.
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.
Cooking Surface.
Follow the care and cleaning instructions below for the cooking surface of your model frypan.
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.
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.
3. Set the Control Probe Dial to the desired temperature setting. Refer to page 9 for the temperature guide.
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.
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.

Linished cooking surface.
Follow the care and cleaning instructions as previously described for stainless steel cooking surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Although your linished frypan can be cleaned in a dishwasher , the harsh detergents used in dishwashers may stain the cooking surface. This will only detract from the appearance and not affect the cooking
performance. Some foods may also leave a stain or dull the surface.
Avoid using large quantities of salt on stainless steel and aluminium frypans. This may cause pitting and discolour the surface if allowed to stay in contact with the frypan for extended periods of time (such as overnight).
High Grade Non-Stick surfaces.
Cooking in a non-stick pan minimises the need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier.
To ensure you get the best results from your non-stick surfaces, follow these simple instructions:
Before the first use: “Season” the cooking surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil and rub in with paper towelling. This will also be necessary after cleaning in a dishwasher.
Avoid using high settings (8-10), as any food
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.
Do not use metal utensils. Continued use of
knives, forks or spoons will eventually start to scratch the stainless steel cooking surface. Use plastic or wooden utensils.
To clean after each use: Was 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.
Note: Never fill a hot frypan with cold water.
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.
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 lifts. For stubborn burnt-on food, leave the frypan to soak overnight, after first simmering as described. Then wash and dry thoroughly.
Removing stubborn stains. These can be removed by using Sunbeam Metal Cleaner available from all Sunbeam Service Centres and selected retail outlets. Any brand of stainless steel powder cleaner can be used on stubborn stains on the cooking surface only.
Rubbing a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water into the stained area is also helpful in removing stains. Wash thoroughly.
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. The removable base is also dishwasher-safe.
14
which may burn on the non-stick surface may cause it to discolour. High settings may be used for baking cakes, as food is not in contact with the surface.
Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the frypan and not affect the cooking performance.
Do not use metal utensils. These will scratch and damage the Non-stick cooking surfaces. Use only plastic or wooden utensils to stir or serve food.
To clean interior and exterior surface:
Wash in hot soapy water. Remove stubborn spots with a plastic washing pad or sponge.
Do not use steel wool or coarse scouring
pads. These will damage the non-stick cooking
surface.
Removing discolouration of the non-stick surface. Combine 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of
soda, 1/4 cup household bleach, 1 cup water. Pour into the frypan, place the lid on with the
vent closed, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Clean in a well ventilated area and avoid breathing the vapours. Wash as directed, and
re-season the frypan before using again. In some instances this may not remove all the staining.
Dishwasher-safe. Your frypan is completely dishwasher-safe. The heating element is totally sealed so it is safe to fully immerse in water. The removable base is also dishwasher-safe.
Cooking with your Sunbeam frypan.
Baking.
Your frypan can be used for baking cakes, with deliciously moist results.
1. Pre-heat the frypan to setting 10, 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. Use the recipes in this book as a guide to the cooking times for your own recipes.
Basting.
The Pan Tilt Lever makes bastings easy as it allow the juices to drain to one side of the pan.
Reduce the temperature to prevent any fat and juices spattering. Position the pan Tilt Lever and allow the juices over the food as desired.
Boiling.
Pasta.
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.
3. Reduce to a lower setting if the water boils too rapidly.
Note: Cooking times will vary with different types of pasta.
Rice.
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.
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.
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.
Preferably use meat that is at room temperature, as this reduces the cooking time.
1. Pre-heat the frypan to settings 7-8. If using an aluminium or stainless steel frypan, pre­heat with approximately 1-2 tablespoons of oil.
2. Brown meat on all sides, with the lid off.
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.
Frying.
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
15
area, which results in heat loss and the possible overflow of oil.
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.
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.
Sauteeing: Pre-heat on 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.
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. Pre-heat the frypan on settings 7-8 with a little oil. For non-stick surfaces the amount of oil can be reduced.
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.
Reheating food.
Pies: Pre-heat the frypan on settings 7-8. Place the pies on a rack in the frypan. Position the lid with the vent open.
Use a skewer or knife to check that they are heated through before serving.
Bread rolls: Frozen or thawed. Pre-heat the frypan to settings 7-8.Place on a rack in the frypan. Position the lid with the vent open. Bread rolls can be wrapped individually in foil to prevent drying
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. Position the lid
Roasting.
Meat and poultry: The frypan is ideal for roasting meat and poultry, as the meat retains the flavour and juices.
The High Domed Lid allows ample room for larger joints of meat and poultry of up to about
2.2kg.
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.
2. Brown and seal the meat on all sides. Position the lid with the vent open.
3. After browning, turn the dial to settings 4-5 and close the vent to cook the meat as desired.
4. Turn the meat during cooking, set a side and cover with foil while you prepare the 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. VEAL: 30-40 minutes per 500g after browning. LAMB: 25-30 minutes per 500g after browning. CHICKEN: 30-35 minutes per 500g after
browning.
Toasting sandwiches.
Up to four sandwiches can be toasted at one time. Choose fillings which will hold together and not run out of the sandwich.
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.
3. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side.
