Sunbeam DF4400 - Manual (Page 9)

Before the first use: Wash, rinse and dry your
Multicooker Deep Fryer, basket and lid, “Season”
the cooking surface by applying a thin coat of
cooking oil and rub in with paper towelling.
1. Insert the Control Probe into the inlet on the
Multicooker Deep Fryer.
2. Plug the cord into a 230-240V power outlet
and turn the power on.
3. Set the Control Probe Dial to the desired
temperature setting. Refer to page 7 for the
temperature guide.
The light on the control probe will illuminate.
This light will remain on until the set
temperature has been reached and then will
cycle on and off throughout cooking, as the
cooking temperature is maintained by the
thermostat.
Hint: On initial heating of the Multicooker Deep
Fryer, it is recommended that the temperature
be allowed to cycle (the light glowing on and
off) several times. This will help the cooking
surface to adjust to a more accurate cooking
temperature.
Note: The Multicooker Deep Fryer must only be
used with the Control Probe provided.
Saucepan cooking
At this point we stress that this vessel is not just
suitable for deep frying, but has many other
uses. Use the cooking vessel without the Deep
Fryer Basket as a rice and pasta boiler, for
simmering soups and large stews, preparing
spaghetti sauce and braising roasts.
Deep fry cooking
1. Place the deep fryer on a flat and stable
surface away from any heating source and
where it cannot be splashed with water.
2. Remove the lid. NEVER USE THE LID WHEN
DEEP FRYING.
3. Pour good quality vegetable, nut or seed oil
into the vessel until it reaches between the
‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ marks indicated on the
inside of the non-stick vessel. (approx 2lt)
Note: Do not mix different types of oil.
4. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt power
outlet and turn the power on by using the
on/off switch.
5. Heat the oil to the cooking temperature as
recommended by the recipe. Rotate the dial
on the temperature control probe to the
temperature that you wish to cook the food.
6. Using the frying basket supplied, pull the
handle backwards until it locks into position.
7. Place your food inside the basket, and gently
lower the basket into the oil.
8. Cook your food for recommended time as
per the recipe, or as desired.
9. When the food is cooked, (ensuring that the
handle is locked in position) gently lift the
basket directly out of the cooking vessel.
Tilt the basket so that the draining lever
rests securely on the inside rim of the
cooking vessel. (see diagram below)
10. Remove hot food with tongs and drain on
absorbent paper.
