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.
• Use well away from walls and curtains.
• Avoid using on metal surfaces e.g. sink.
• Do not use in confined spaces.
• Do not immerse the unit in water.
• Ensure that the cord is kept well away from
the cooking plates during use.
• Ensure the drip tray is in position before grilling.
• Do not touch the outside of the top of the
grill when in use.
• Ensure you use the handle to open the top
grill plate. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
• This grill may generate steam from between
the grill plates while cooking and when top
plate is opened.
• Take care when removing food from the grill.

Using your EasyClean Contact Grill.
Before using your EasyClean
Contact Grill
Before using your EasyClean Contact Grill for the
first time, the non-stick cooking plates must be
seasoned. Turn the power ON and pre-heat your
Easy Clean Contact Grill until the Ready Light
illuminates.
Wipe a small amount of butter, margarine or oil
onto the plates, rub lightly and wipe away any
excess.
Note: When using your EasyClean Contact Grill
for the first time you may notice a fine smoke
haze being emitted from the unit. This is
normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal
components.
Using your EasyClean Contact Grill
1. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet.
2. Turn the power ON and pre-heat your Easy
Clean Contact Grill until the Ready light
illuminates.
3. After you have completed grilling, turn the
power OFF.
Grilling Meats and Vegetables
Note: Always pre-heat your EasyClean Contact
Grill for 3-5 minutes. The Ready light will
illuminate.
1. Always spray the grill plates with cooking
spray before placing meat, seafood or
vegetables onto the grill plate.
2. Gently lower the lid, applying pressure if
needed to ensure both the top and bottom grill
plates are level and in contact with the food.
3. If desired halfway through cooking turn your
food over to achieve attractive cross grill
marks on both the top and bottom of your
food.
4. When cooking some foods you may want to
re-spray the top grill plate to prevent food
from sticking.
5. The cooking plates are coated in a durable
non-stick coating. Some foods that are
marinated or coated may cause the food to
stick to the grill plates.
To free the food use a plastic spatula or
wooden spoon. Never use a sharp object or
metal utensil as this will damage the nonstick surface.
Note: The warm up and Ready Lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle during
cooking to ensure that the correct temperature
is maintained.
Caution: Do not touch the outside of the top of
the grill, when in use. Ensure you use the handle
to open the top grill plate. Avoid touching hot
surfaces. This grill may generate steam from
between the grill plates while food is cooking
and when the top plate is opened. Take care
when removing food from the grill.
Grilling Sandwiches and Foccaccia’s
Note: Always pre-heat your EasyClean Contact
Grill until the Ready light illuminates before use.
1. Always butter the outside of the bread. The
sandwich filling will be placed between the
unbuttered sides of the bread.
2. Place the buttered side of the bread onto the
cooking plate, then spoon the recommended
quantity of filling onto the bread.
3. Place the top slice of bread on top of the
filling with the buttered side facing upwards.
4. Gently close the lid.
Note: Ensure that the cord is kept well away
from the cooking plates when in use.
5. Allow the sandwiches to toast for
approximately 3 minutes, depending on
the bread, filling and personal taste. Your
EasyClean Contact Grill toasts both sides
of bread at the same time.
