Usage Instructions

Your Frypan and Skillet set includes 1 control
probe which can be used alternately for both
units.

Trigger-Release Control Probe

The heat control probe is thermostatically
controlled to deliver perfect cooking control.

The indicator light switches 'on' when it is
heating. When the frypan or skillet has
reached the desired temperature the indicator
light switches 'off'. The indicator light will
then cycle 'on' and 'off' as the thermostat
maintains the set temperature.

The heat control probe is ergonomically
designed with a handy trigger-release.
Simply hold the probe and squeeze the
trigger with your thumb to remove it.

Heat control probe with trigger release

Before First Use

Before using your Frypan and Skillet for
the first time, remove all packaging and
promotional materials from the product and
control probe.

With the control probe detached, wash with
warm soapy water using a mild household
detergent.

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

Note: Do not immerse the heat control probe in
water or any other liquid.

Using your Frypan and Skillet

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

2. Insert the control probe fully into the probe
inlet of the frypan or skillet.

3. Plug the cord into 230-240V power outlet
and turn the power on.

4. Pre heat the frypan and skillet on MED/
MAX setting. Then set the control probe
dial to the desired temperature setting.
Refer to page 9 for the temperature guide.

Note: The thermostat light on the control
probe indicates the temperature at which
the dial is set. The light will remain on until
the set temperature has been reached and
then will cycle on and off throughout the
cooking. This will ensure that the frypan and
skillet maintains the correct temperature. On
the initial heating of the frypan and skillet,
it is recommended that the temperature be
allowed to cycle (the light cycling on and
off) several times. This will help the cooking
surface to adjust to a more accurate cooking
temperature.

5. After you have completed cooking, turn
the power OFF and unplug from the power
outlet.

Note: Ensure the cord is kept well away from
the frypan and skillet when in use.

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

Using the tilt & baste lever

The tilt & baste lever of the frypan is positioned
under the inlet where the control probe is
inserted. To tilt the frypan, push the lever
down. This allows the fat and juices to drain
from the food for crisp, low fat cooking. It also
makes it easier to baste food and serve sauces
or gravy.

76

Care & Cleaning Temperature Setting Guide

Use heat-resistant plastic or wooden or
silicone utensils when cooking on the frypan
or skillet. Avoid using sharp or metal objects
as these will scratch the non-stick surface.
Do not cut food on top of the cooking
surface. Do not leave plastic utensils in
contact with the cooking surface 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 frypan and skillet to cool before
cleaning.

DiamondForce™ non-stick coating

When cleaning with the DiamondForce™
non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other
abrasrive scourer). When the frypan or skillet
have cooled down, you may wipe using a
paper towel to remove residue on the frypan
or skillet. With the control probe detached,
wash with warm soapy water using a mild
household detergent. Rinse thoroughly and
dry the frypan or skillet with a soft cloth
before storing. Make sure the interior of the
probe inlet is fully dry.

Heat Control probe

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

Note: The control probe must be removed
before the frypan or skillet is cleaned and the
control probe inlet must be dried before the
frypan or skillet is used again.

Important: Do not immerse the control probe
in water or any other liquid. Store the crontrol
probe carefully. Do not knock or drop it as this
can damage the probe.

Storage

Store the control probe carefully in a safe
place. 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.

Glass lid

Wash the lid in warm soapy water using
a soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Alternatively, wash the lid in a dishwasher.

The settings on the dial represent the following temperatures approximately.
Pre-heat your frypan or skillet on MAX setting then change to your desired setting.

Cooking GuideCooking Guide

Baking

Your frypan can be used for baking cakes,
with deliciously moist results.

1. Preheat the frypan to MAX setting, with the
lid on.

2. Elevate the cake pan or tray from the base
of the frypan using a small wire rack.

Cooking times will be longer than those of a
conventional oven.

Basting

The tilt & baste lever makes basting easy as
it allows the juices to drain to one side of the
pan. Reduce the temperature to prevent any
fat and juices splattering. Position the pan
tilt lever and spoon the juices over the food
as desired.

Browning and Sealing Meat

It is necessary to brown and seal meat in
many recipes. Meat retains its juices and the
flavours develop after browning and sealing.
This also prevents it from sticking when
baking or roasting. Preferably use meat that
is at room temperature, as this reduces the
cooking time.

1. Preheat the frypan to MED/MAX setting.

2. Brown meat on all sides, with the lid off.

3. After sealing, reduce the temperature to
MED setting and replace the lid until the
meat is cooked as desired.

Frying

The frypan is ideal for shallow or pan frying.
Deep frying is not particularly suitable as
the frypan has shallow sides and a greater
surface area, which results in heat loss and
the possible overflow of oil.

Pan frying: Suitable for eggs, omelettes,
bacon, sausages, steaks and chicken pieces.
Preheat to MED setting with a little oil to add
flavour. Non-stick cooking surfaces do not
require a large amount of oil. Steaks should
only be turned once during cooking.

Shallow frying: Suitable for vegetable pieces
e.g roast pumpkin and potato, and crumbed
food. Preheat on MED setting with sufficient
oil so that the food is half immersed. Cook
food with the lid off.

Sautéeing: Preheat on MED setting with a
little oil to add flavour.

Stir frying: Food is cooked quickly, over a high
heat and vegetables retain their flavour and
crispness. For best results and even cooking,
cut food into even sized, smaller pieces.

1. Preheat the frypan on MED/MAX setting
with a little oil.

2. Slice meat into strips. Coat meat in a little
oil and stir-fry in batches until browned.
This prevents meat from stewing.

3. Add vegetables and seasoning, stirring
continuously. Vegetables which take longer
to cook, such as carrots, should be cooked
first, adding the other ingredients later.
Cook until the vegetables are crisp.
Return the meat back into the pan when
the vegetables are almost cooked. The lid
can be in position in the last few minutes
of cooking.

Roasting
Meat and poultry: The frypan is ideal for

roasting meat and poultry, as the meat
retains the flavour and juices.

1. Preheat the frypan to MED/MAX setting.
Use only a small amount of oil for less
fatty joints and no oil for fattier joints of
meat.

2. Brown and seal the meat on all sides and
position the lid.

3. After browning, turn the dial to MED
setting to cook the meat as desired. Turn
meat occasionally during cooking to ensure
even cooking.

4. Remove meat from pan and cover with
foil. Allow meat to rest for 5-10 minutes,
meanwhile you can make a gravy from the
juices in the frypan.

Vegetables: Cut into even sized pieces. Add
to the frypan 45-60 minutes before serving.
For crisper vegetables, remove the meat and
increase the heat for the last few minutes of
cooking.

Roasting times:

Note: These times are for well done. Reduce

the times to suit personal taste.

PORK 30-40 minutes per 500g after

browning.

VEAL 30-40 minutes per 500g after

browning.

BEEF 20-25 minutes per 500g after

browning.

LAMB 25-30 minutes per 500g after

browning.

CHICKEN 30-35 minutes per 500g after

browning.
