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 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.

• 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.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any
other liquid unless recommended.

• Use well away from walls and curtains.

cheesecakes, and egg and bacon snacks.

The 101 Pie Ideas in this book are just a start.
With your Sunbeam Pie Magic Four, you can turn
any ingredients, left-overs or convenience
canned food into delicious pies - great for
appetisers, meals, desserts, supper or snacks.

Note: During cooking, you may notice a
whistling sound. This is normal and is due to
steam escaping from the pies.

For excellent results, Sunbeam recommends the
use of Pampas ready rolled pastries.

For New Zealand, Sunbeam recommends the
use of Irvines ready rolled pastries. Please
substitute Irvines wherever Pampas has been
used in this book.

Before using your pie maker 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. Pre-heat the pie
maker for 5 minutes. Season the plates by
applying a thin coat of cooking oil, butter or
margarine onto the surface and rub in with
paper towelling.

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 pie maker 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.

Before using your pie maker.

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 that you use Pampas Puff Pastry
for your pastry top combined with a Pampas
Shortcrust Pastry base, for best results.

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 Pampas
Butter Puff Pastry for your pastry top, combined
with a shortcrust pastry base. This combination is
ideal for desserts. Homemade pastry can also be
used. A recipe for homemade pastry is on page 12.

Pre-heat the pie maker for 5 minutes, and
defrost your frozen ready rolled pastry while
preparing your pies.

Cutting the pastry.

Use the special Pie cutters 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.

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.

Make two 30mm slits in the pastry base to make
it easier to place it in the pie maker. See Figure 1.

Note: Each sheet of Pampas ready rolled pastry
is enough for 5 pastry tops or 4 pastry bases,
although more can be made by using leftover
pieces. One packet of ready rolled Pampas pastry,
is sufficient to make approximately 10 pies.
