Using your Sunbeam Café Press® Before using your Café Press Before using your Café Press for the first time, the non-stick cooking plates must be seasoned. Turn the power ON and preheat your Café Press until the Ready light illuminates. Turn the unit OFF. Using paper towel, carefully wipe a small amount of cooking oil onto the plates, rub lightly and then wipe away any excess oil. Note: When using your Café Press for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze being emitted from the unit.
Using your Sunbeam Café Press® (continued) Using the RotoDial™ adjustable height control dial Sunbeam’s specially designed patent pending RotoDial™ is located on the right side arm and can be adjusted to control the height of the top plate. With the top plate lifted, turn the RotoDial™ clockwise through a series of settings to adjust the height of the top plate. Bring the top plate down to rest on the selected dial setting.
Hints for Best Results 1. Any type or shape of bread can be used, e.g. white, wholemeal, wholegrain, sourdough, bread rolls, bagels. 2. Various thicknesses of bread can be used from thick to thin slice. Turkish pide or focaccia are also suitable. 3. Sweet breads with a high sugar content (e.g. fruit loaf, raisin bread, brioche) will brown more quickly than non-sweetened breads. 4. It is not necessary to butter the outside of your bread as the Café Press has non-stick cooking plates. 5.
