Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR DEEP
FRYER.
• If using solid fat, remove the lid and the
basket, cut the fat into pieces and place them
directly into the tank. Do not melt solid fat
in the frying basket as it may damage the
appliance.
• 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 operate the fryer with oil level below the
minimum mark or above the maximum mark.
• Never connect the fryer to the electricity
supply without placing oil in the tank first.
• Do not touch any metal surfaces of the product
while it is in use as they will be hot.
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when

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.
Stainless steel tank
The large stainless steel tank holds an oil
capacity of 4.0 litres.
Non slip feet
Keeps the deep fryer secure on the
bench, for safer frying.
4
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.
Variable thermostat control
The variable thermostat provides a wide range
of temperature settings, accurately controlling
the temperature of the oil, suiting a range
of different foods. The variable control also
prolongs the life of the oil.
Reset button
Due to the safety thermostat that switches
your fryer off in case of overheating, the reset
button allows you to reset your stainless deep
fryer once the appliance has cooled down.
Cord storage
For convenient storage, on the back of the
control unit there is a compartment for the
cord to be kept when not in use.

3.Lower the basket into the tank and replace
the lid.
There are two methods of cooking in your
fryer; one general method for most foodstuffs
and another for home battered products.
4.You may choose to cook with the (filter) lid
in place or without it.
Note: During cooking, steam will build up in
the fryer, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen
glove or mitt to protect your hand.
5.When the food is cooked (see time guide
chart on page 9), place the basket on its
raised position to drain for a few seconds.
6.Remove the basket and put the fried food
on a plate covered with absorbent paper or
kitchen towel.

Hints for perfect frying
1.Never use the fryer without oil.
temperature should be.
2.Always use the best quality oil possible. We
recommend corn, nut, seed or vegetable
oils. Never use butter, margarine or olive
oils.
6.Large pieces of food should not be deep
fried, as they take to long to cook thus
absorbing too much oil.
7.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.Avoid mixing oils of different qualities or
types.
4.Change the oil when it becomes brown or
milky in colour.
8.Make sure that food is dry before frying,
wet food will splatter.
5.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
9.Always dry or roll wet food in flour before
coating in a batter. Otherwise the extra
steam created will separate the coating
from the food.

Care and Cleaning
Care and Cleaning
➀
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.
➁
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.
➂
Basket, handle and removable tank
The basket and its handle can be hand
washed in warm soapy water. It should be
thoroughly dried afterwards. When the oil
has completely cooled, the tank of your fryer
can be removed for cleaning by following
these instructions:

Care and Cleaning continued
4.The fryer body can be washed by hand
in hot soapy water and the oil tank in a
dishwasher.
The control unit
1.Remove the control unit and heating
element.
5.Dry the tank thoroughly and replace it in
the body of your fryer.
Never immerse the control unit in water or
any other liquid.
Always make sure that the tank is completely
dry before you put it back into your fryer.
2.Clean with a damp cloth or kitchen paper.
Ensure that the wires connected to the
heating element are not damaged whilst
cleaning.
Note: You may store your filtered oil in the
fryer if you make sure that it is covered by
the lid.

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.
PLEASE NOTE: If cooking 1kg of homemade
raw potato chips, it is recommended that
only 3.5 litres of oil is used.
• Make sure that the chips are cut to even
size to guarantee even cooking.
• 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.
Hints for cooking the perfect frozen chip.
• Do not defrost frozen pre-cooked chips.
For the best results they should be taken
directly from the freezer to the fryer.
• Heat oil to the maximum setting, 190°C.
• Dry on kitchen towel before frying.
• For best results for frozen chips refer to
chip packet.
• Shake the basket at short intervals to
encourage even browning and to stop
chips sticking together.
• Allow chips to drain for a moment before
removing from the basket and seasoning.
• 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.
