Non-Stick Coating
Your Sunbeam Multicooker Deep Fryer features
DuPonts' toughest non-stick coating produced
to date - Platinum Pro.
DuPont is the world leader in non-stick coatings
with the introduction of Teflon dating back to
1938. Today more than 2 billion households
have Teflon non-stick coated cookware.

Platinum Pro - 3 layer scratch
resistant coating
* The images shown here and performance
claims are based upon the DuPont In-House
Cooking Abuse Test used to evaluate scratch
resistance and release properties of non-stick
coatings.
Teflon Platinum Pro is a premium 3 layer non-

minerals causing metal utensils to slide over
these particles without damaging the Teflon
matrix.
This preserves the release properties of the non-
stick coating during the life of the wok.
The end result is a non-stick coating that can be
treated like ordinary cookware, enabling the use
of metal utensils such as spatulas and spoons,
but not sharp utensils.

Stainless steel Lid
Cast-in element
With the lid in place, the multicooker can be
used as an oven, giving you the versatility to
roast pieces of beef, lamb and chicken.
The element is completely cast into the heavy
duty base for faster superior heating and a
longer element life.
The lid also retains heat and moisture when
simmering food such as casseroles.
Adjustable steam vent
The steam vent allows moisture to escape
without losing too much heat. Keep the vent
closed whenever cooking food where it is
necessary to retain the heat and/or moisture.
The vent should be left open for a crisper result.
When roasting chicken and meat, open the vent
in the last 15 minutes of cooking to crispen.

Using your cookware.
Before the first use: Wash, rinse and dry your
Multicooker Deep Fryer, basket and lid, “Season”
the cooking surface by applying a thin coat of
cooking oil and rub in with paper towelling.
4. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt power
outlet and turn the power on by using the
on/off switch.
5. Heat the oil to the cooking temperature as
recommended by the recipe. Rotate the dial
on the temperature control probe to the
temperature that you wish to cook the food.
1. Insert the Control Probe into the inlet on the
Multicooker Deep Fryer.
2. Plug the cord into a 230-240V power outlet
and turn the power on.
6. Using the frying basket supplied, pull the
handle backwards until it locks into position.
3. Set the Control Probe Dial to the desired
temperature setting. Refer to page 7 for the
temperature guide.
7. Place your food inside the basket, and gently
lower the basket into the oil.
The light on the control probe will illuminate.
8. Cook your food for recommended time as
per the recipe, or as desired.
This light will remain on until the set
temperature has been reached and then will
cycle on and off throughout cooking, as the
cooking temperature is maintained by the
thermostat.
9. When the food is cooked, (ensuring that the
handle is locked in position) gently lift the
basket directly out of the cooking vessel.
Tilt the basket so that the draining lever
rests securely on the inside rim of the
cooking vessel. (see diagram below)
Hint: On initial heating of the Multicooker Deep
Fryer, it is recommended that the temperature
be allowed to cycle (the light glowing on and
off) several times. This will help the cooking
surface to adjust to a more accurate cooking
temperature.
10. Remove hot food with tongs and drain on
absorbent paper.
Note: The Multicooker Deep Fryer must only be
used with the Control Probe provided.
Saucepan cooking
At this point we stress that this vessel is not just
suitable for deep frying, but has many other
uses. Use the cooking vessel without the Deep
Fryer Basket as a rice and pasta boiler, for
simmering soups and large stews, preparing
spaghetti sauce and braising roasts.
Deep fry cooking
1. Place the deep fryer on a flat and stable
surface away from any heating source and
where it cannot be splashed with water.
2. Remove the lid. NEVER USE THE LID WHEN
DEEP FRYING.
3. Pour good quality vegetable, nut or seed oil
into the vessel until it reaches between the
‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ marks indicated on the
inside of the non-stick vessel. (approx 2lt)
Note: Do not mix different types of oil.

Hints for perfect frying.
1. Always use the best quality oil possible. We
recommend corn, nut, seed or vegetable oils.
Never use butter, margarine or olive oils.
5. Large pieces of food should not be deep
fried, as they take to long to cook thus
absorbing too much oil.
2. Avoid mixing oils of different qualities or
types.
6. Fry small amounts at a time, adding too
much at a time will decrease the oils
temperature and increase the chance that
food will stick together.
3. Change the oil when it becomes brown or
milky in colour.
7. Make sure that food is dry before frying, wet
food will splatter.
4. Take into account the food to be cooked
before setting the frying temperature. As a
general guide precooked food will need a
higher temperature than raw food, and the
larger the individual items the lower the
temperature should be.
Care and Cleaning.
Control Probe.
Washing the inside of the vessel
1. When cooled, remove any excess
food particles.
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
Multicooker Deep Fryer is used again.
2. When cooled, wash thoroughly in hot soapy
water. NOTE: Your cooking vessel is fully
immersible in water and is also dishwasher safe.
3. Rinse out in hot or boiling water to remove
unseen fat particles.
NEVER IMMERSE THE CONTROL PROBE IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Washing the outside of the vessel
Wash grease and oil off the outside of the vessel
with hot soapy water.

High Grade Non-Stick cooking surfaces.
Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the
need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is
easier.
To clean interior and exterior surface:
Wash in hot soapy water. Remove stubborn spots
with a plastic washing pad or sponge.
To ensure you get the best results from your
non-stick cooking surfaces, follow these simple
instructions:
Do not use steel wool or coarse scouring pads.
These will damage the non-stick cooking surface.
Wash as directed, and re-season the Multicooker
Deep Fryer before using again.
Before the first use: “Season” the cooking
surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil
and rub in with paper towelling. This will also be
necessary after cleaning in a dishwasher.
Dishwasher-safe. Your Multicooker Deep Fryer is
completely dishwasher-safe. The heating
element is totally sealed so it is safe to fully
immerse in water.
Avoid using high settings (8-10), as any food
which may burn on the non-stick surface may
cause it to discolour.
Any discolouration that may occur will only
detract from the appearance of the frypan and
will not affect the cooking performance.

Cooking with your Multicooker.
Shallow frying
Braising and Stewing
Add only sufficient quantity of oil to cover the
surface of the vessel. Preheat oil on dial setting 6-
7 before adding food. Turn the food as you fry it,
reducing heat if necessary. Remove the food with
a slotted spoon or tongs, drain well and serve.
This is the ideal method for cooking tougher
cuts of meat. First saute the food in butter or oil
to develop the flavour. Then cover with stock,
water or wine and cook for the suggested time
and setting in the recipe. Always keep the lid on
and the vent closed when braising or stewing.
Sauteing
Deep Frying
This is a term which means foods are quickly
fried and gently stirred in a small amount of hot
butter, margarine or oil. Foods that are
commonly sauteed are onions, mushrooms,
garlic, capsicums and meats. Sauteing develops
flavour. Preheat the vessel to dial setting 3-4
with oil and saute as desired.
(a) ‘It is essential that foods to be deep fried are
completely immersed in the frying medium.
Select any frying medium you wish, but
refined, deodorised vegetable oils are
recommended. They can be used more than
once without marked deterioration. Sunbeam
also recommends peanut oil or solid
vegetable shortening of reliable brands. Lard
is the best of animal fats, but it tends to be
very rich in flavour and odour. Dripping
darkens quickly and is not completely
satisfactory. DO NOT USE BUTTER OR
MARGARINE FOR DEEP FRYING.
Boiling
Ideal for cooking vegetables where they are
completely immersed in water which is brought
to boiling point. Heat is regulated to continue
the boiling action. Place the lid on the vessel
unless stated in the recipe.
(b) Do not overfill the cooking vessel with oil or
shortening. Allow at least 8cm from the top
Dry Frying
Preheat the cooker to dial setting 6-8 with a
little butter, margarine or oil. Remove excess fat
from meat and place it directly into the vessel.
Turn the food to seal and brown both sides. It
may be necessary to lower the setting after
sealing to complete the cooking. When small
amounts of butter, margarine or oil are used, tilt
the vessel slightly to coat the entire surface.
of the oil or shortening to the rim of the
1
/
vessel. About 8 to 10 cups (2 to 2 litres) of
2
oil or 2kg of shortening is ample. If more is
used, boilovers may occur.
(c) Never leave oil or shortening at high frying
temperatures for long periods of time. If
cooking fried foods in batches, lower the
temperature to setting 1-2 between frying
sessions, as it helps to extend the life of the
oil.
Reheating Foods
To keep foods hot or reheat foods, place the
leftovers into the vessel and heat on setting 1-2.
To prevent food drying out add a small amount
of stock or water as required. Another way to
heat leftovers is to wrap them in foil, seal and
place in the vessel with the lid on. Heat on
settings 3 or 4 for 5 to 10 minutes.
(d) NEVER PLACE THE LID ON THE VESSEL WHEN
DEEP FRYING.
Care of oils and shortenings
• Strain after each use because food particles or
sediments cause oil to darken, foam and lose
its browning quality.
• Store in a cool place away
from light.
• Renew oil frequently. We do not recommend

the addition of new oil to old, as used oil
breaks down the quality of the new oil.
Boiling vegetables
(a) Prepare vegetables (see pages 14-16).
• DO NOT STORE OIL IN THE MULTICOOKER.
(b) Add enough water to the vessel to barely
cover vegetables.
To clarify oils and shortenings
(c) Bring water to a rapid boil on setting 5-6.
Oil or shortening will last longer if clarified
regularly. For each 500g of shortening or 2 cups
(500 ml) of oil, add one potato, peeled and cut
into 5mm slices. Heat oil or shortening gradually.
When it ceases to bubble and the potatoes are
well browned, strain the oil through several
thicknesses of muslin or cheesecloth placed over
a strainer.
(d) Add vegetables and return to
the boil.
(e) Cover, unless stated in recipe
or chart.
(f) Reduce setting to 2 (or gentle boil) and
cook for the suggested cooking time
(see pages 14-16).
Set aside to cool. When ready to use, discard any
sediment left at the bottom of the bowl.
(g) Drain vegetables.
NOTE: Vegetable stock may be used as a base for
sauces.
Hints for frying
(a) Vary time and temperature to suit taste, size
and quantity of foods.
To blanch vegetables for freezing
(a) Prepare vegetables and plunge into boiling
water.
(b) Do not heat more oil or shortening than
required.
(b) Boil rapidly for 1 to 10 minutes (depending
on vegetable).
(c) Dry foods thoroughly on absorbent paper
before adding to hot oil, or before dipping
into frying batter, to avoid excess spattering.
(c) Remove and cool vegetables quickly by
placing in iced or running cold tap water.
(d) Use tongs or a long-handled slotted spoon to
gently lower food into hot oil. To avoid
(d) Leave approximately 2.5 cm space before
sealing.
spatter burns, never drop foods from fingers.
(e) Label, date and freeze.
(e) Do not overcrowd the frying basket. It is
better to cook about half a basketful at a
time.
The following pages give basic preparation and
cooking directions for boiling steaming or
sauteing a wide selection of vegetables.
(f) Batter-covered foods such as doughnuts are
best cooked one layer at a time.
(g) Wait for indicator light to go OFF before
frying next batch. Skim off any food particles.
(h) Have absorbent paper handy for draining
foods.

Cooking with your Deep Fryer
The Perfect Chip.
•
For perfect fries and wedges, old potatoes
are ideal. The potato should be of a low
starch, waxy variety i.e. chats, new potato or
desiree potatoes.
Hints for cooking the perfect frozen chip.
•
Do not defrost frozen precooked chips. For
the best results they should be taken directly
from the freezer to the fryer.
•
•
Make sure that the chips are cut to even size
to guarantee even cooking.
•
•
Heat oil to the maximum setting, 8-10.
Place up to 1kg frozen chips into the fryer
basket and lower into the hot oil for 1 - 2
minutes to seal.
The cut chips should be rinsed under running
water until the water runs clear. This removes
excess starch from the potatoes, the starch
burns at high temperatures.
•
•
Lift the basket out and rest the drainage
lever inside the rim of the cooking vessel.
Allow the oil to heat up again.
•
•
Dry on kitchen towel before frying.
Shake the basket at short intervals to
encourage even browning and to stop chips
sticking together.
Lower the basket again and fry the chips for
a further 3 - 4 minutes until golden brown.
The time required will depend on the size
and cut of the chip, and personal taste.
•
•
Homemade fries are double cooked. The first
fry blanches the chips so that they cook
through. The second fry colours the chips and
gives them a crisp crust. Use the table below
as a guide.
•
Allow chips to drain for a moment before
removing from the basket and seasoning.
Cooking times will vary depending on the
size of your fries or chips and the variety of
the potato used.

Deep fry cooking with home battered food.
This method allows for the fact that if wet
batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking
the food may stick to the basket. THIS METHOD
OF COOKING REQUIRES EXTREME CARE.
This allows the batter to become solid and
prevents it sealing to the mesh of the basket.
Note: Remember to take care as the oil may
spit as the food is added.
1. Follow steps 1 - 6 only from the deep fry
cooking instructions on page 9.
5. You can now follow the deep fry cooking
instructions from steps 8-10 on page 9.
2. Place the frying basket into the vessel with
the heated oil.
3. Coat the food in batter (see recipes on page
31) and allow it to drain slightly to get rid of
the excess coating.
4. Very carefully, slowly lower the coated food
into the hot oil, using a suitable implement
or tongs.
