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.

• The frypan must only be used with the Control
Probe provided.

• Avoid using on metal surfaces e.g. sink,
hotplate.

• Do not place hot glass lid under cold water.

• The knob on the glass lid may get hot during
use – oven mitts may be required.
