Before using your Contact Grill

Using your Sunbeam Pure Elements Contact Grill

Before using your Contact Grill for the first time, the non-stick cooking plates must be seasoned to protect the non-stick surface.

Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt AC power outlet and turn the power on. Preheat the contact grill for 5 minutes. Season the plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil onto the surface and rub in with paper towel. Alternatively add oil to paper towel and rub over the cooking plates. After this initial seasoning, there is no need to season the plates before each use.

Note: When using your Contact Grill for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze being emitted from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal components.

Using your Contact Grill

1.Place on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface.

2.Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC power outlet and turn the power ON. The red Power light will illuminate while the unit is switched on.

3.Select your desired temperature setting to suit the type of food you wish to cook.

4.Preheat until the Ready light illuminates.

5.After you have completed grilling turn the power OFF and unplug from the power outlet.

Note: Ensure the cord is kept well away from the cooking plates when in use.

Grilling meats and vegetables

Note: Preheat your Contact Grill until the Ready light illuminates before use.

1.Spray the grill plates with cooking oil before placing meat, seafood or vegetables onto the bottom grill plate.

2.Gently lower the lid to ensure even cooking of your food everytime.

3.When cooking some foods you may want to re-spray the grill plates to prevent food from sticking.

4.The cooking plates are coated with a durable non-stick coating. Some foods that are marinated or coated may cause the food to stick to the grill plates.

To free the food use heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils only. Never use a sharp or metal object as this will damage the non-stick surface.

Note: The Ready Light is thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and off during cooking to ensure that the correct temperature is maintained.

Caution: Do not touch the outside or the top of the unit when in use. Ensure you use the handle to open the top grill plate. Avoid touching hot surfaces. The contact grill may generate steam from between the grill plates while food is cooking and when the top plate is opened. Take care when removing food from the grill.
