Using your Sunbeam Pure
Elements Contact Grill
Before using your Contact Grill
Before using your Contact Grill for the first
time, the non-stick cooking plates must be
seasoned to protect the non-stick surface.
Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt AC
power outlet and turn the power on. Preheat
the contact grill for 5 minutes. Season the
plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil
onto the surface and rub in with paper towel.
Alternatively add oil to paper towel and rub
over the cooking plates. After this initial
seasoning, there is no need to season the
plates before each use.
Note: When using your 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 Contact Grill
1. Place on a flat, level, heat-resistant
surface.
2. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt
AC power outlet and turn the power ON.
The red Power light will illuminate while
the unit is switched on.
3. Select your desired temperature setting to
suit the type of food you wish to cook.
4. Preheat until the Ready light illuminates.
5. After you have completed grilling turn the
power OFF and unplug from the power
outlet.
Note: Ensure the cord is kept well away from
the cooking plates when in use.
Grilling meats and vegetables
Note: Preheat your Contact Grill until the
Ready light illuminates before use.
1. Spray the grill plates with cooking oil
before placing meat, seafood or vegetables
onto the bottom grill plate.
2. Gently lower the lid to ensure even
cooking of your food everytime.
3. When cooking some foods you may want
to re-spray the grill plates to prevent food
from sticking.
4. The cooking plates are coated with 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 heat-resistant plastic
or wooden utensils only. Never use a sharp
or metal object as this will damage the
non-stick surface.
Note: The Ready Light is thermostatically
controlled and will cycle on and off
during cooking to ensure that the correct
temperature is maintained.
Caution: Do not touch the outside or the top
of the unit when in use. Ensure you use
the handle to open the top grill plate. Avoid
touching hot surfaces. The contact 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.

Hints for Best Results
1. Tender cuts of meat such as scotch fillet
and sirloin are ideal for grilling. Tougher
cuts of meat such as topside or blade
steak will tenderise if marinated for a few
hours or overnight.
2. Avoid overcooking meat as the texture will
toughen.
3. Recommended cuts;
Beef = Sirloin, Rump, Scotch,
Fillet or T-Bone
Lamb = Backstrap or Fillet, Chops and
Cutlets
Pork = Leg or Butterfly Steaks, Fillets
and Chops.
4. You can also grill diced meat on skewers
for kebabs.
5. The Contact Grill can grill meats over
2.5cm (1 inch) thick with ease. If cooking
meats with a bone it is recommended that
it is no larger than 1.5cm thick to ensure
even cooking.
6. Ideal for cooking a variety of meats,
including beef, fish and poultry. Take care
when grilling fish, use a plastic spatula.
7. The sloped grilling surface allows the fats
and juices to drain into the drip tray for
healthy, fat free cooking.
8. When cutting meats, chicken, vegetables
or seafood for kebabs, cut evenly and
uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
Note: Never cross-contaminate foods. Do not
cut raw vegetables and raw meats with the
same knife or on the same chopping board.
Try to use seperate chopping boards for
meats, vegetables and seafood.
Note: Do not cut cooked meats on the same
chopping board that you used to prepare the
raw meat unless the board and knife have
been thoroughly sanitised and cleaned in hot
soapy water.
5
Care and Cleaning
Always use heat-resistant plastic or wooden
utensils only to remove food from the grill.
Do not use sharp or metal objects as these
will scratch the non-stick surface.
Do not cut food on top of the cooking plates.
To clean after use
Always turn the power off and remove the
plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
Do not immerse the contact grill in water or
any other liquid.
Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as
they will scratch the non-stick plates and the
exterior surface.
Do not place the contact grill in the
dishwasher.
To clean the non-stick plates
The cooking plates are coated with a durable
non-stick surface, therefore little cleaning is
required. Always allow the grill to cool until
just warm before cleaning. Once cooled, wipe
over the cooking plates with a dampened
cloth or paper towel to remove excess oil.
A soft washing sponge may be used to
remove any cooking residue. The grill is
easier to clean when slightly warm.
Always clean after each use to prevent a
build up of cooking residue on the grill.
Note: Hold the top lid open whilst cleaning
the grill plates.
To remove stubborn food residue
Some foods that are marinated or coated may
cause the food to stick to the cooking plates.
To remove these stubborn food residues
squeeze some warm soapy water (using a
mild household detergent) over the residue.
Allow to stand then use a non-abrasive
plastic scouring pad, sponge or brush to
clean off the residue. Do not use steel wool,
metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as
these will scratch the non-stick surface.
To clean the exterior
Wipe over with a dampened cloth and polish
with a soft dry cloth.
To clean the drip tray
Allow the contents of the drip tray to cool
before removing the tray and discarding
the contents. Empty the drip tray after
each use and wash in warm soapy water
using a non-abrasive scouring pad and mild
detergent. After cleaning, dry the drip tray
with a clean, soft cloth and slide back into
position. The drip tray is dishwasher safe and
should be placed on the top shelf.
Note: Do not pour oil, fat or grease down the
sink.
Storage
Allow the grill to cool and clean it after
each use and before storing it away. The
grill will store in an upright position in
cupboards, shelves or on the bench top. The
cord can be wrapped underneath the unit.
