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/press when in use.
• Ensure you use the handle to open the top
grill/press plate. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
• This grill/press may generate steam from
between the grill plates while cooking and
when the top plate is opened.
• Take care when removing food from the

DuPont Teflon®- Platinum Pro with
ScratchGuard™Non-Stick Coating
Your Sunbeam Café Contact Grill and Sandwich
Press features DuPonts' toughest non-stick
coating produced to date - Platinum Pro with
ScratchGuard.
DuPont is the world leader in non-stick coatings
with the introduction of Teflon dating back to
1938. Today more than 2 billion households
have Teflon non-stick coated cookware.
Teflon Platinum Pro is a premium 3 layer nonstick coating. It features special scratch resistant
minerals causing metal utensils to slide over
these particles without damaging the Teflon
matrix.
This preserves the release properties of the
non-stick coating during the life of the Café
Contact Grill and Sandwich Press.
The end result is a non-stick coating that can be
treated like ordinary cookware, enabling the use
of metal utensils such as
spatulas and spoons,
but not sharp utensils.
So tough is the new
Teflon Platinum
Pro coating
that it is up to
10 times more
scratch resistant
than other
non-stick coatings*.
The image show
here is an example
of the performance
of Teflon Platinum
Pro against an
'other' non-stick
coating. Each surface
has undergone 5 cycles of
the DuPont In-House Abuse Test.
The Teflon Platinum Pro only has some surface
scuffing, whereas the 'other' non-stick coating
has deteriorate badly.
* The images shown here and performance
claims are based upon the DuPont In-House
Cooking Abuse Test used to evaluate scratch
resistance and release properties of non-stick
coatings.
**NOTE: The DuPont Teflon®Platinum Pro with
ScratchGuard
™
is only available on certain
models.

Using your Café Contact Grill & Sandwich Press.
Before using your Café Contact Grill and
Sandwich Press
Before using your Grill/Press for the first time, the
non-stick cooking plates must be seasoned. Turn
the power ON and pre-heat 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 Café Contact Grill and
Sandwich Press 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 Café Contact Grill
and Sandwich Press
1. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet.
2. Turn the power ON.
3. Select your desired temperature setting to suit
the type of food you wish to cook. Turn the
temperature dial to Contact Grill or Sandwich
Press.
4. Preheat until the Ready light (green)
illuminates.
Note: The Café Contact Grill and Sandwich Press
can be used to grill foods with the top plate
opened or closed.
5. After you have completed grilling or toasting,
turn the power OFF.
Note: Ensure that the cord is kept well away from
the cooking plates when in use.
Grilling Meats and Vegetables
Note: Always turn your temperature dial to
Contact Grill and, pre-heat 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 (if desired), by pulling down
the cast metal arms. The café-design floating
hinge system will adjust automatically ensuring
the top cooking plate lies evenly on your food
for perfect grilling everytime.
3. If desired halfway through cooking turn your
food over to achieve attractive grill marks on
both the top and bottom of your food.
4. When cooking some foods you may want to respray the top grill plate to prevent food from
sticking.
5. The cooking plates are coated in a durable
high grade 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 metal objects as this will
damage the non-stick surface.
Note: The warm up and Ready Lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and
off during cooking to ensure that the correct
temperature is maintained.
Caution: Do not touch the outside of the top of
the grill/press, when in use. Ensure you use the
handle to open the top grill plate. Avoid touching
hot surfaces. This grill/press 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.
Toasting Sandwiches and Foccaccia’s
Note: Always turn your temperature dial to
Sandwich Press and pre-heat 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.
5. Allow the sandwiches to toast for
approximately 3 minutes, depending on
the bread, filling and personal taste. Your Café
Contact Grill and Sandwich Press toasts both
sides of bread at the same time.
6. Preparation cross contamination separate
prepared – meat, poultry, seafood and
vegetables.

Hints for best results when grilling.
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, Rib Eye. Fillet or T-Bone
Lamb = Leg Steak, Fillet, Loin or Cutlets
Pork = Butterfly Steaks, Spare Ribs, Leg Steaks
or Fillets
4. You can also grill diced meat on skewers for
Kebabs.
5. The Café Contact Grill and Sandwich Press
can grill meats over 1 inch (2.5cm) thickness
with ease.
6. Ideal for cooking a variety of meats,
including beef, fish and poultry. Take care
when grilling fish, use a plastic spatula.
7. The sloping grilling surface allows the fats
and juices to drain into the drip tray for
healthy, fat free cooking.
8. When cutting meats, chicken, vegetables and
or seafood for kebabs, cut evenly and
uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
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.
Do not cut cooked meats on the same
chopping board as you prepared the raw
meat unless the board and knife have been
thoroughly sanitised and cleaned in hot
soapy water.
9. The large non-stick flat (bottom) cooking
plate is ideal for cooking a variety of foods
such as eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes
and onions.
8
Hints for best results when toasting snacks.
1. Breads with a high sugar content (fruit loaf,
etc.) will toast more quickly than plain
sandwich breads.
2. Any type of bread can be used, white,
wholemeal, kibbled wheat or wholegrain.
3. For sweet snacks, sprinkle castor sugar over
the buttered sides of the bread.
4. When using raisin bread, brioche or other
sweet breads which contain a high sugar
content, keep in mind that they will brown
much more quickly than other breads.
5. For a wholesome meal, large pieces of focaccia
bread may be toasted with desired filling.
6. Bread rolls may also be toasted with
desired filling.
7. For a light snack savoury or sweet bagels
may be toasted with desired filling.
8. Be careful when biting into sandwiches
containing fillings such as cheese, tomato or
jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten
too quickly.
9. It is not necessary to butter the outside of all
breads as the Café Press/Grill has non-stick
cooking plates. However, to encourage even
browning of bread or when using stale
bread, spreading with a small amount of
butter is recommended.
