How to use your Sunbeam
BBQ Grill
Before first use
Remove sticker from hotplate. Wash the
hotplate and drip tray in warm soapy water
using a mild household detergent. Dry
hotplate and drip tray thoroughly.
Place drip tray into base. For easy cleaning
line the drip tray with aluminium foil. This
will collect the fats and juices.
Position the hotplate over base and drip tray.
For better non-stick performance, “season”
the cooking surface of the hotplate by
applying a thin coat of cooking oil and
rubbing in with paper towelling before each
use.
IMPORTANT:
Charcoal or similar combustible
fuels must not be used with this appliance.
Using your BBQ Grill
1. Insert the control probe fully into the
socket of the hotplate.
2. Plug the cord into a 230/240V power
outlet and turn the power ON.
3. Set the control probe dial to the
desired heat setting, or the heat setting
recommended in the recipe. When
the thermostat light on the control
probe switches off, the desired cooking
temperature has been reached and the
BBQ Grill is ready to use.
NOTE 1: The thermostat light on the control
probe indicates the BBQ Grill is heating. This
light will remain ON until the set temperature
has been reached and then will cycle ON and
OFF throughout cooking. This will ensure that
the BBQ Grill always maintains the selected
temperature.
The preheat time will depend on the heat
setting selected. If a high heat setting is
selected, a longer preheat time is required.
NOTE 2: When barbecuing on high heat
settings, the BBQ Grill will generate smoke.
Selecting a lower setting will reduce smoke.
Adequate ventilation is recommended.
Using the splatter shield
To attach the splatter shield to your BBQ
Grill, position the shield on the hotplate
so that the slots in the shield are resting
securely over the ribs at either end of the
hotplate, as shown in Figure 1. The splatter
shield simply lifts off for easy cleaning and
storage.
