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.

Features of your BBQ Grill.
Non-Stick Coating
Your Sunbeam BBQ 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 non­stick coating during the life of the BBQ 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 non­stick coatings*.
The image show here is an example of the performance of Teflon Platinum against an 'other' non­stick 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' non­stick 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.

How to use your Sunbeam BBQ Grill.
Before first use.
Remove sticker from hotplate. Wash the hotplate and drip tray in warm soapy water using a mild household detergent. Dry hotplate and drip tray thoroughly.
Place drip tray into base. For easy cleaning line the drip tray with aluminium foil. This will collect the fats and juices.
Position the hotplate over base and drip tray, as shown in Figure 1.
For better non-stick performance, “season” the cooking surface of the hotplate by applying a thin coat of cooking oil and rubbing in with paper towelling before each use.
WARNING: Charcoal or similar combustible fuels must not be used with this appliance.
Using your BBQ Grill.
1. Insert the control probe fully into the socket of the hotplate.
2. Plug the cord into a 230/240V power outlet and turn the power ON.
3. Set the control probe dial to the desired heat setting, or the heat setting recommended in the recipe. When the thermostat light on the control probe switches off, the desired cooking temperature has been reached and the BBQ Grill is ready to use.
Note: The thermostat light on the control probe indicates the BBQ Grill is heating. This light will remain ON until the set temperature has been reached and then will cycle ON and OFF throughout cooking. This will ensure that the BBQ Grill always maintains the selected temperature.
The pre-heat time will depend on the heat setting selected. If a high heat setting is selected, a longer pre-heat time is required.
Using the Splatter Shield.
To attach the splatter shield to your BBQ Grill, position the shield on the hotplate so that the slots in the shield are resting securely over the ribs at either end of the hotplate, as shown in Figure 2. The splatter shield simply lifts off for easy cleaning and storage.

Handy Hints.
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.
Avoid turning food regularly. Once the food has been seared on both sides, cook food at a reduced heat setting. This prevents the food from drying out and will cook your food more evenly. Avoid overcooking meat as the texture will toughen.
The grill hotplate is ideal for cooking a variety of meats, including beef, fish and poultry. The grill bars allow the fats and juices to drain into the drip tray for healthy, fat free cooking.
The large flat hotplate is ideal for cooking a variety of foods such as eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and onions. It is also handy for keeping foods warm, including stuffed mushrooms, filled potatoes or corn on the cob.
The variable heat control has a wide range of heat settings ideal for specific cooking tasks. The table below lists suggested heat settings.
Note: The BBQ Grill will take 5 minutes to reach the correct cooking temperature when set to the SuperSear setting. The hotplate is then ready for cooking. The indicator light will remain ON for a
further 5 minutes until the temperature begins to cycle.
Note:
When barbecuing on high heat settings, the BBQ Grill will generate smoke. Selecting a lower heat setting will reduce smoke. For indoor use, adequate ventilation is recommended.
Setting Function
1 - 5 Low heat settings - keep warm
6 - 10 Medium heat settings - to cook food thoroughly
11 - 15 High heat settings - for fast cooking and sealing in juices
SuperSear Super heat setting - for searing and quick browning

Care and Cleaning.
Do not leave plastic utensils in contact with hotplate while cooking.
Before cleaning turn the power OFF, then REMOVE the plug from the outlet and the control probe from the socket of the BBQ Grill.
DuPont Teflon®Platinum Non-stick Coating
Your BBQ 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 BBQ 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 BBQ 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. Remove the Control Probe from the socket of the BBQ Grill.
Control Probe.
If cleaning is necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.
Do not immerse the control probe in water or any other liquid.
NEVER use the BBQ Grill control probe in any other Sunbeam appliance.
Storage
Store the probe carefully in a safe place. Sunbeam suggest storing the control probe in its original foam packaging to prevent damage. Do not knock or drop it as this can damage the probe. If damage is suspected, return the control
probe to your nearest Sunbeam Service Centre for inspection. Refer to the back of this book for Service Centre listings.
Hotplate, Drip Tray and Splatter Shield.
The element in the hotplate is totally sealed, so it is safe to fully immerse in water. Wash the hotplate, drip tray and splatter shield in warm soapy water using a mild household detergent and a soft washing sponge.
A bottle brush may be used to clean between the hotplate grill bars.
The hotplate, drip tray and splatter shield are also dishwasher safe.
Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they will scratch the non-stick cooking surface. Dry each part of the BBQ Grill thoroughly before storing.
Moulded Base.
The base can be wiped over with a damp cloth or washed in warm soapy water using a mild household detergent and a soft washing sponge.
Do not place the moulded base in a dishwasher. Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they
may scratch the base.
Storage.
Always dry and assemble the BBQ Grill before storing. Ensure the drip tray and hotplate are correctly positioned.
Store the assembled BBQ Grill on a flat surface on your benchtop or cupboard.
Important:
Before inserting control probe in probe socket, ensure the interior of the socket is fully dry. To do this, wipe interior of socket with a dry cloth or shake out excess water vigorously.
