Features of your ReversaGrill

Reversible grill plate

Cook on either side of the grill plate – ribbed
grill plate for searing meats, seafood and
vegetables, or flat hotplate for cooking eggs,
crepes or pikelets.

Non-stick cooking surface

The cooking surface is coated in a high grade
non-stick 3 layer coating for easy removal of
foods. Non-stick plates also reduce the need
for oils resulting in healthier cooking.

Large cooking area

Large cooking surface 45cm (18”) x 27cm
(11”) enables you to cook an entire meal on
the one grill surface.

TM

2400 watts

High powered electric indoor grill with 2400
watts of grilling power, allows you to cook
with high temperatures to sear meats and grill
vegetables.

Variable temperature control

The variable temperature probe is detachable
from the grill and has a power indicator light.
Turn the dial to adjust the thermostatically
controlled temperatures for total cooking
control.

Note: Although both sides are represented in
this image, please note that the ReversaGrill
comes with one grill plate that has two sides

- one is ribbed, the other is flat.

2

Cool touch handles

Remains cool to the touch for safer cooking.

Removable metal drip tray

Excess food crumbs, juices, grease or fat are
channelled through the drip holes in the grill
plate to collect in the metal drip tray.

Safety interlock

The safety locking mechanism stops the grill
from operating when the drip tray or grill have
not been positioned correctly. This prevents
heat damage to your table surface or the
moulded base.

Moulded base

The cool touch moulded base is finished
with brushed stainless steel side panels and
supports the grill plate and drip tray.

Dishwasher safe

The grill plate and moulded base are fully
immersible and dishwasher safe for easy
cleaning.

Two sided spatula can be used to safely scrape
food residue off the flat plate or the ribbed
plate.

Using your ReversaGrill

TM

Before using your ReversaGrill

Before using your ReversaGrill for the first
time, remove all packaging and promotional
materials from the cooking plate, drip tray,
base, control probe and cleaning spatula.

With the control probe detached, wash
the cooking plate, drip tray and base with
warm soapy water using a mild household
detergent.

Rinse and dry thoroughly. Make sure the
interior of the probe inlet is fully dry.

Condition the cooking plates to protect the
non-stick surface by applying a light coating
of vegetable oil or use a non-stick cooking
spray. Wipe off excess oil.

For easy cleaning line the drip tray with
aluminium foil to collect the fats and juices.
Place drip tray into base.

Ensure the drip tray and grill plate are
correctly positioned over the base to
deactivate the safety locking mechanism.

Note: When using the ReversaGrill 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 ReversaGrill

1. Place on a flat, level, heat-resistant

surface.

2. Insert the control probe fully into the

probe inlet of the grill plate.

3. Plug the cord into a 230-240 volt AC

power outlet and turn the power ON.

4. Set the control probe dial to the desired

heat setting.

5. Preheat until the thermostat light switches

off, indicating the ReversaGrill is ready to
use.

Note: The thermostat light on the control
probe indicates the ReversaGrill is heating.
This light will remain on until the set

temperature has been reached and then will
cycle on and off during cooking to ensure
the selected temperature is maintained. The
preheat time will depend on the heat setting
selected.

Note: When grilling on high heat settings, the
ReversaGrill will generate smoke. Selecting
a lower heat setting will reduce smoke.
For indoor use, adequate ventilation or an
exhaust fan is recommended.

6. 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.

Caution: Do not touch the grill plate when in
use. Avoid touching hot surfaces. Take care
when removing food from the grill. Do not
transport the grill when it is hot.

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 ReversaGrill 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. The ribbed grill plate is ideal for cooking
a variety of meats, including beef, lamb,

pork, poultry and fish. Take care when
grilling fish, use a plastic spatula. The
ribbed plate is also ideal for grilling
vegetables.

7. The grill bars and drip holes allow the fats
and juices to drain into the drip tray for
healthy, fat free cooking.

8. The flat hotplate is ideal for cooking a
variety of foods such as eggs, bacon,
tomatoes, crepes and pikelets.

9. 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 separate 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.

Care and Cleaning

Use heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils
when cooking on the grill. Always use these
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.
Do not leave plastic utensils in contact with

the cooking plate while in use.

To clean after use

Always turn the power off and remove the
plug from the power outlet and the control
probe from the probe inlet before cleaning.

Allow the ReversaGrill to cool before
cleaning.

Non-stick grill plate

The element in the grill plate is cast in, so it
is safe to fully immerse in water.

Wash the grill plate in warm soapy water
using a mild household detergent and a soft
washing sponge.

Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as
they will scratch the non-stick surface.

A bottle brush may be used to clean the drip
holes in the grill plate.

Be sure to clean the handles after each use.
The grill plate is also dishwasher safe.
Dry the grill plate and probe inlet thoroughly

before storing.

To remove stubborn food residues, use the
plastic cleaning spatula provided, only when
the grill plate has completely cooled.

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 use abrasives or metal scourers as
they may scratch the exterior surface.

The moulded base is also dishwasher safe.
Dry the base thoroughly before storing.

Drip tray

Lift the metal drip tray out from the base
and pour any excess grease or liquid into a
container and dispose appropriately. Do not
pour oil or fats down the sink.

Wash the metal drip tray in warm soapy water
using a mild household detergent and a soft
washing sponge.

Dry the drip tray thoroughly before storing.
Do not place the metal drip tray in the

dishwasher.

Control probe

If cleaning is necessary, wipe over with a
damp cloth.

Important: Do not immerse the control probe
in water or any other liquid. Do not place the
control probe in the dishwasher.

Do not knock or drop the probe as this can
damage the probe. If damage is suspected,
return the control probe to your nearest
Sunbeam Service Centre for inspection.

Note: Before inserting the control probe
into the probe inlet, ensure the interior of
the inlet is completely dry. To do this wipe
interior of probe inlet with a dry cloth or
shake out excess water vigorously.

it after each use and dry thoroughly before
storing it away.
