SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR KETTLE BBQ.

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 switch off the power outlet before inserting or
removing a plug. When removing the plug, do not
pull on the cord.

• Always remove the plug when the appliance is not in
use or before cleaning.

• Always use the appliance on a flat level surface.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord
unless this cord has been checked and tested by a
qualified electrical person.

• Always use your appliance from a power outlet
delivering the rated voltage marked on the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is
being used near or by children or infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.

• Close supervision is necessary to ensure that children do
not play with appliances.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its
intended use.

• Do not allow water or liquids to come into contact with
any switches or controls.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame,
electric element or in a heated oven. Do not place and
operate on top of any other appliance.

• Do not leave the power cord of an appliance near the
edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.

• Do not immerse appliance in water unless
recommended.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by
unskilled persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using
tamperproof means. 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 physically damaged. If damage is suspected, return
the appliance to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed
Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.

- For additional protection the installation of a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated current not exceeding
30mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying the
power outlet in use.

Using your Sunbeam Kettle BBQ.

Before first use.

Remove any stickers from the hotplate. Wash
the hotplate and drip tray in warm soapy water
using a mild household detergent. Dry hotplate
and drip tray thoroughly.

To assemble the stand.

Place the base of the stand (legs) on a flat level
surface. Take the pole and with the slots to the
bottom, insert the metal tube into the hole in
the centre of the base and push down firmly.

Place the base of the Kettle BBQ onto the pole
and fit it into position. The base is correctly
positioned when the pole has slid in
approximately 10cm.

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.

NOTE: Do not place any objects such as
saucepans or plates on the hotplate.

Using your Kettle BBQ.

1. Insert the Heat Control Probe fully into the

socket of the hotplate.

2. Plug the cord into a 230-240 volt power

outlet and turn the power on. An extension
cord that has been checked and tested by
your electricity supplier or a qualified
technician may be used with your Kettle
BBQ.

3. Set the control probe dial to the desired

heat setting.
Remove the lid from the Kettle BBQ and

allow to heat up. When the thermostat light
on the control probe switches off, the
desired cooking temperature has been
reached and the Kettle BBQ is ready to use.

For oven style cooking, set the dial to Super
Sear setting, replace the lid and pre-heat for
approximately 10 minutes.

Note: The thermostat light on the control probe
indicates the Kettle BBQ 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
Kettle BBQ always maintains the selected
temperature. The pre-heat time will depend on
the heat setting selected.
