Sunbeam's Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR DURACERAMIC™ FRYPAN.

Sunbeam is 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:

Hot Surface ?️ Do Not Touch

This symbol indicates, temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating and for some time after use.

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. Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Features of your Sunbeam DuraCeramic™ Frypan

Steam Vent
Fixed steam vent controls the moisture level during cooking.

DuraCeramic™ cooking surface
Unique DuraCeramic™ coating cooks food faster with higher scratch resistance and 4X more durable than non-stick coatings. Superior food release ensures fast and easy clean-up.

Cool touch handles and lid knob
For safer cooking and carrying of the frypan

Control probe inlet

Tilt & Baste lever
When the lever is in the lowered position the cooking pan is tilted, forcing juices to collect at one end of the pan. Both hands are then free for basting.

Dishwasher safe
The pan, base and lid are dishwasher safe and fully immersible.

Trigger release control probe
The probe is thermostatically controlled and incorporates an indicator light that switches off automatically when the selected temperature has been reached, it then cycles on and off to indicate that the temperature is being maintained.

Glass lid
The clear glass lid allows you to monitor the cooking process without lifting the lid and allowing the heat to escape, ensuring the selected temperature is maintained.

Extra large cooking vessel
The large rectangular frypan (38cm (15") x 29.5cm (11.5")) is 78mm deep, ideal for cooking 2 chickens, roasts, family size meals or liquid based dishes.

Cast-in rectangle element
The powerful 2400 watt rectangle element is completely cast into the heavy duty base providing superior heat distribution, faster heating and a longer element life.

Temperature Setting Guide

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 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.

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

DIAL SETTING CELCIUS (approx) USES TEMPERATURE
MIN 50°C - 70°C Keeping food warm LOW
MIN/MED 80°C - 105°C Simmering, slow cooking MEDIUM
MED 120°C - 140°C Pan frying MEDIUM
MED/MAX 150°C - 175°C Shallow frying, roasting
MAX 190°C - 210°C Searing and sealing HIGH

Note: The temperature settings are a guide only and may require adjustment to suit various foods and individual tastes. When the dial is set to a MIN setting, it is quite normal for food to stop and start bubbling, as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature.

Usage Instructions

Before First Use

Before using your frypan 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.

Seasoning

A little extra preparation before first use will get the most out of your DuraCeramic™ Frypan.

Following these steps will properly season your fryware, ensuring superior food release and fast, easy clean up.

  1. Spread 1 tablespoon oil (canola or vegetable) on to the base and sides of the frypan using paper towel or soft cloth to evenly coat the surface.
  2. Heat on MIN temperature for 20 mins (or until frypan starts to smoke).
  3. Turn off then let frypan cool to room temperature and wipe away excess oil. Do not wash.

Repeat the seasoning process every 4-6 months for optimum performance.

Using your Frypan

  1. Place on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface.
  2. Insert the control probe fully into the probe inlet of the frypan.
  3. Plug the cord into 230-240V power outlet and turn the power on.
  4. Pre heat the frypan on MIN/MED setting. Then set the control probe dial to the desired temperature setting. Refer to page 7 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 maintains the correct temperature. On the initial heating of the frypan, 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.

  1. 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 when in use.

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

Care & Cleaning

Use heat-resistant plastic or wooden or silicone utensils when cooking in the frypan. Avoid using sharp or metal objects as these may scratch the 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 to cool before cleaning.

DuraCeramic™ coating

Due to the natural properties of ceramic coating, your DuraCeramic™ frypan requires gentle handling and cleaning. When cleaning the DuraCeramic™ coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive scourer). It is important to let the frypan cool down. Do not immediately immerse in water. Wipe the bottom of the pan using a damp paper towel to remove residue on the frypan. With the control probe detached and the pan completely cool, wash the pan with warm soapy water using a mild household detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry the frypan with a soft cloth before storing. Make sure the interior of the probe inlet is fully dry.

Staining

When using high pigmented ingredients such as turmeric, curry, soy sauce, tomato sauce, some staining may occur. When cooking, always start to use low or medium heat before adding food to the pan. High heat can cause the food to stick, discolour or damage the natural properties of the ceramic coating. Stubborn food residue may be removed or reduced by rubbing the ceramic coating with a cream cleanser or a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water using a clean cloth.

Heat Control probe

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

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

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

Glass Lid

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

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.

Cooking Guide

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 MIN/MED 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.

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.

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.

Recipes

All recipes have been specifically created and tested by the Sunbeam Test Kitchen for the frypan. For some recipes it may be required to cook food in batches.

Corn Fritters

Makes approx. 20

  1. Combine flour, soda, paprika in a bowl; whisk through buttermilk and eggs to form a batter.
  2. Combine corn, capsicum, green onions, parsley and coriander in a large bowl. Stir through the batter; season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat frypan on MED/MAX setting. Drizzle a little olive oil in frypan and spoon tablespoonfuls of mixture into pan. Cook fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
  4. Serve with tomato chilli jam if desired.

Beef Stroganoff

Serves 4

  1. Dust beef in flour, shaking off excess flour. Heat oil in frypan on MED setting; cook beef in batches until browned.

Troubleshooting

Problem Potential Cause Solution
Overcooked / Undercooked Foods Incorrect temperature You may have to adjust the time and temperature to desired taste. Refer to "Temperature Setting Guide" section.
Burning Smell The temperature on your control probe is too high. Adjust temperature accordingly. Refer to "Temperature Setting Guide" section.
Heating elements do not stay ON Heating elements will cycle ON and OFF to maintain proper heat. 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 maintains the correct temperature. On the initial heating of the frypan, 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.
Staining and discolouration of ceramic coating Use of high pigmented ingredients or high temperature on first use Refer to "Care & Cleaning" section
