Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR

• Use well away from walls and curtains.
• Ensure the Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 is placed
on a flat and stable surface during operation.
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.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons unless
they have been adequately supervised by a
responsible adult to ensure that they can use
the appliance safely.
• Do not immerse or drop the Sunbeam Pie
Magic 4 in water or in any other liquid.
• Do not allow the internal components of the
Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 to get wet at any time.
• 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.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

An Introduction to your Sunbeam
Pie Magic 4
Congratulations on the purchase of your
Sunbeam Pie Magic 4.
Now you and the whole family can make
golden brown, crispy pies at home, using your
choice of delicious and imaginative fillings.
You will be amazed at the variety of pies you
can make, chicken, beef, pork, vegetable and
seafood pies, as well as fruit and sweet pies.
Your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 is so versatile you
can even make muffins, cup cakes, quiche
and cheesecakes.
With your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4, you can
turn any ingredients, left-overs or canned
food into delicious pies – great for appetisers,
meals, desserts, supper or snacks.
Make up to four perfect pies every time ...
it’s magic!
Note: During cooking, you may notice a
whistling sound. This is normal and is due to
steam escaping from the pies.
Before using your Sunbeam
Pie Magic 4
Before using your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 for
the first time, the non-stick plates must be
seasoned to protect the non-stick surface.
Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt
power outlet and turn the power ON. Preheat
the pie maker for 5 minutes. Season the
plates by applying a thin coat of cooking
oil onto the surface and rub in with paper
towelling.
Alternatively add oil to paper towelling and
rub over the cooking plates.
After this initial seasoning, there is no need
to season the plates after each use as the
pastry leaves the plates slightly seasoned.
Note: When using your Sunbeam Pie Magic
4 for the first time, you may notice a fine
smoke haze being emitted. This is normal
and is due to the initial heating of the
internal components.

HeadingMaking pies in your Sunbeam
Pie Magic 4
What type of pastry can be used?
There is a wide selection of ready rolled
pastry available in your supermarket freezer,
such as shortcrust, puff, butter puff and
wholemeal pastry. These pastries give great
results and are handy to keep in your freezer.
We recommend using Puff Pastry for the top
combined with a Shortcrust Pastry for the base.
However, shortcrust pastry or puff pastry can
be used for both the tops and bases of your
pies.
For a light and more buttery taste, use
butter puff pastry for your pastry top,
combined with a shortcrust pastry for your
base. This combination is ideal for desserts.
Homemade pastry can also be used.
Preheat the Pie Magic 4 for 5 minutes, and
defrost your frozen ready rolled pastry while
preparing your pies.
Cutting the pastry.
Use the special pie cutter provided to cut
the pastry tops and bases for your pies. The
small cutter is for the top and the large
cutter is for the base. See Figure 1.
To cut your pastry pieces, position the cutter
on a flat sheet of pastry and cut by pressing
down into the pastry. Ensure the cut is
smooth around the edges.
Note: For best results, frozen pastry should be
used as soon as it is thawed.

Place the pastry base in the preheated pie
maker and carefully press into the base.
See Figure 4.

Caution: Only touch the pastry as the pie
maker will be very hot.
Adding the filling.
Any ingredients you have in your kitchen,
left-overs and canned food make tempting
pie fillings.
Pre-cook your pie fillings, particularly if
using fresh meat or vegetable ingredients.
Ingredients such as fruit and canned food
can be used without pre-cooking.
Ensure all ingredients are cut into small and
even pieces to allow them to heat through.
Note: Do not use liquid ingredients such as
sauces, gravies and custard on their own or
in large amounts, as they will overflow and
make the pastry soggy. Always combine with
solid ingredients.
Spoon your pre-cooked filling into the pastry
base. As a general rule, use ¹/
per pie. Do not overfill your pies.

recipe booklet provided with your Sunbeam
Pie Magic 4.
Cooking the pies.
Place the pastry tops over the filling and
close the lid. Cook the pies for approximately
6 minutes. If you prefer extra browning, we
recommend you cook for 8 minutes.
Note: During cooking you may notice a
whistling sound. This is due to steam
escaping from the pies.
Remove your pies using a plastic utensil.
DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS AS THESE WILL
SCRATCH THE NON-STICK SURFACE. Wipe the
plates clean after making each pie.
Using left-over pastry.
Make more pies, garnishes and decorations
with the left-over pastry.
Lightly knead the left-over pieces into a ball
and roll out to approximately 3mm thick.
Hint: It is easier to roll pastry between 2
sheets of grease proof paper.
To make garnishes and decorations, cut the
pastry into any shape, such as leaves.
Place the shape on the pastry top before
closing the lid.
Note: It is recommended that only shortcrust
ready rolled pastry be re-rolled. Also,
keep the pastry covered to prevent drying
and cracking.

Making pies in your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 continued
Pre-cutting pastry.
Pastry can be pre-cut and stored in the
freezer so that anyone can make pies at their
convenience. After cutting up the pastry,
separate each piece with a layer of plastic.
Cover completely with plastic and return to
the freezer.
Using bread.
Bread can be used as a substitute for pastry.
The best results are achieved using sandwich
bread. Avoid using toast style bread as it is
too thick.
Cut the pie tops and bases using the cutter
and trim the crusts.
Spread one side of the bread with butter
or margarine. Make the pies as previously
instructed, with the buttered side of the
bread on the outside to prevent sticking.
Cook for 6 minutes.
Hint: Avoid using liquid fillings as they tend
to make the bread soggy.
Note: When using a non-pastry base in your
pie maker it will be necessary to season the
plates with a little oil, butter or margarine
Defrosting and reheating pies
Defrosting.
Room temperature: pies will defrost in
approximately 1 hour.
