Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR DEEP FRYER. • Before use always ensure that the internal tank is positioned correctly in the fryer body. ie the max/min level should be on the left of the fryer. • Never connect the fryer to the electricity supply without placing oil in the tank first.
Features of your Sunbeam Stainless Deep Fryer Lid Featuring a permanent, washable mesh filter that allows steam to escape whilst aiding in the filtration of oil droplets. It also has a large viewing window to monitor your results. Basket with 1.25kg food capacity The removable mesh cooking basket has a 1.25kg food capacity. The basket has two frying levels and you can shake it whilst cooking just like a commercial deep fryer. The basket also features a cool touch handle which folds away for easy storage.
Cool-Zone The 2400 watt heating element is suspended in the oil, creating a ‘cool-zone’ at the bottom of the vessel. This prevents cooking debris burning which will effectively double the useful lifespan of the oil compared with other deep fryers. Temperature control light Temperature control light indicates when the deep fryer is heating the oil. Power on light The power on light indicates when the deep fryer is switched on. On/off switch The on/off switch turns the deep fryer on and off.

Using your Sunbeam Stainless Deep Fryer continued Cooking 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.

Care and Cleaning Care and Cleaning Cleaning should only be carried out when the fryer is switched off and the plug removed from the socket. Your fryer should have completely cooled. Lid and permanent filter Your stainless deep fryer features a permanent filter that we advise you to clean at regular intervals. Either put the entire lid into the dishwasher or into hot soapy water and let it soak there for 5-10 minutes. Shake the remaining water out of the lid and let it dry.
Care and Cleaning continued 4. The fryer body can be washed by hand in hot soapy water and the oil tank in a dishwasher. 5. Dry the tank thoroughly and replace it in the body of your fryer. Always make sure that the tank is completely dry before you put it back into your fryer. Note: You may store your filtered oil in the fryer if you make sure that it is covered by the lid. 12 The control unit 1. Remove the control unit and heating element. Never immerse the control unit in water or any other liquid. 2.
The Perfect Chip • For perfect fries and wedges, old potatoes are ideal. The potato should be of a low starch, waxy variety i.e. Sebago, Russet Burbank, Spunta, King Edward, Bintje. • Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your fries or chips and the variety of the potato used. • Make sure that the chips are cut to even size to guarantee even cooking. PLEASE NOTE: If cooking 1kg of homemade raw potato chips, it is recommended that only 3.5 litres of oil is used.
