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. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal components.

Using your Café Press

1.Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC power outlet.

Important: Ensure that the cord is kept well away from the cooking plates during use.

2.Turn the power ON and preheat your Café Press until the Ready light illuminates.

Note: Ensure the top plate is fully closed for more efficient preheating.

3.Once you have prepared your snack, place it onto the bottom cooking plate.

4.Gently lower the lid by pulling down the handle. The floating hinge system will adjust automatically ensuring that the top cooking plate lies evenly on your snack, for perfect toasting every time.

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

5.Allow your snack to toast for approximately 3 minutes, depending on the bread, filling and personal taste. Your Café Press toasts both sides of the bread at the same time.

Note: The cooking plates are coated with a durable high grade non-stick coating. Some fillings such as cheese may melt and cause your snack to stick to the cooking plates.

6.To remove your snack use heat-resistant plastic utensils or wooden utensils. Take care if using metal utensils. Do not use sharp objects.

7.After you have completed grilling or toasting, turn the power OFF.

Caution: Do not touch the outside or top of the unit when in use, as these surfaces may be hot. Ensure you use the handle to open and close the top plate. Avoid touching hot surfaces. The press 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 press.
