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
nearest service centre or qualified technician.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the
voltage (AC 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 SAA (Standards
Association of Australia). Such appliances should
always be returned to the nearest 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 Service
Centre for examination, repair or adjustment. As a
service to customers, 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 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.

Non-Stick Coating (GR8400/GR8410)
Your Sunbeam Café Press/Grill features DuPonts'
toughest non-stick coating produced to date Platinum 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 is a premium 3 layer non-stick
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
Press/Grill.
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
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
against an 'other'
non-stick coating.
Each surface has
undergone 5
cycles of the
DuPont In-House Abuse Test.
The Teflon Platinum 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.

Using your Sunbeam Café Press/Grill.
Before using your Café Press/Grill
Before using your Café Press/Grill for the first
time, the non-stick cooking plates must be
seasoned. Turn the power ON and pre-heat your
Café Press/Grill until the Ready Light illuminates.
Wipe a small amount of butter onto the plates,
rub lightly and wipe away any excess.
Note: When using your Café Press/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 Café Press/Grill
1. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet.
2. Turn the power ON and pre-heat your Café
Press until the Ready light illuminates.
3. Once you have prepared your snack, place
the bread onto the cooking plate.
4. Gently lower the lid by pulling down the cast
metal arms. The café-style floating hinge
system will adjust automatically ensuring that
the top cooking plate lies evenly on your
snack, for perfect toasting every time.
Note: Ensure that the cord is kept well away
from the cooking plates when in use.
5. Allow your snack to toast for approximately 3
minutes, depending on the bread, filling and
personal taste. Your Café Press/Grill toasts
both sides of bread at the same time.
6. The cooking plates are coated with a durable
non-stick coating. Some fillings such as cheese
may melt and cause the sandwich to stick to
the cooking plates. To free the sandwich use
a plastic spatula or wooden spoon. Never use
a sharp or metal object, as this will damage
the non-stick surface.
Note: The ‘warm up’ and ‘ready’ lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle during
cooking to ensure that the correct temperature
is maintained.
7. After you have completed using your Café
Press/Grill, turn the power OFF.

Hints for best results.
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.

Care and Cleaning.
DuPont Teflon®Platinum
Non-stick Coating (GR8400/GR8410)
Your Café Press/Grill features a special scratch
and abrasive-resistant non-stick coating that
makes it safe to use metal utensils when
cooking.
Regardless of this fact Sunbeam recommends
that care is taken with the non-stick coating
particularly when using metal utensils.
Do not use sharp objects or cut food on top of
the Café Press/Grill. Sunbeam will not be liable
for damage to the non-stick coating where
metal utensils have been misused.
When cleaning the non-stick coating do not use
metal (or other abrasive) scourers. After
cleaning, dry the Café Press/Grill and lid
thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing.
Always turn the power OFF and REMOVE the
plug from the power point before cleaning.
Quick cleaning method
Always turn the power OFF and remove plug
after use and before cleaning. The cooking
plates are coated with a non-stick surface, and
there are no dirt traps, therefore little cleaning
is required. Once cooled, simply wipe the
cooking plates with a dampened cloth.
Do not immerse your Café Press/Grill in water or
any other liquid. Do not use abrasive scouring
pads or powders.
Do not place your Café Press/Grill in a
dishwasher.
To clean the exterior
Simply wipe over with a dampened cloth and
polish dry with a dry soft cloth. Do not use steel
wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as these
will scratch the surface.
Storage
Your Café Press/Grill will store in an upright
position in cupboards, shelves or on the bench
top. Simply bring the plates together and
located on the right cast metal arm, press the
securing latch. This will lock the plates together.

sandwiches by spreading the outside of the
bread with a flavoured butter. Then add a
