Congratulations
Congratulations on the purchase of your
Sunbeam Café Series Deep Fryer.
Fryer features 2400 watts of power and a
1.25kg cooking capacity. The deep fryer has
been designed with ‘cool-zone’ technology
for healthier deep frying. The element is
suspended in the oil to create a ‘cool-zone' at
the bottom of the vessel.
The Sunbeam Café Series delivers quality,
style and superior performance capturing
the essence of the commercial kitchen.
Inspired by heavy-duty equipment found in
restaurants, cafés and bars, the Café Series™
is built to last. It brings together a range
of appliances designed to expertly create
authentic café food and beverages at home.
This results in cleaner oil and more precise
temperature control while cooking. The
‘cool-zone’ also prevents cooking debris
from gathering around the element and
burning effectively doubling the life of the
oil. Providing a safe and simple way to cook,
the deep fryer’s basket is easily lifted in and
out of the cooking vessel by its cool touch
handle.
Uncompromising blends of stainless steel,
glass and die-cast alloy characterise the
range. Advanced technology and functional
design guarantee the performance of each
product will exceed expectations
Cooking delicious crispy food is so easy!
Creating authentic tempura or classic
fish and chips has never been this easy
before. The Sunbeam Café Series Deep

away from any heating source and where it
cannot be splashed with water.
4.Use the carrying handles when moving the
product, never carry the appliance by the
lid.
Safety Feature of the thermostat
Your stainless deep fryer is equipped with a
safety thermostat that switches your fryer off
in case of overheating.
Filling your Stainless Deep Fryer
Note: Do not connect the fryer to the
electricity supply if there is no oil or fat in
the tank.
This will be activated when the desired
temperature of the oil is reached, the
red indicator light will turn off and the
power supplied to the heating element is
automatically cut off. The fryer is now ready
to cook. When the oil temperature drops, the
heating element will switch on automatically.
1.Remove the lid and take out the frying
basket. Pull the handle backwards

Cooking in your Stainless Deep Fryer
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.
There are two methods of cooking in your
fryer; one general method for most foodstuffs
and another for home battered products.
6.Remove the basket and put the fried food
on a plate covered with absorbent paper or
kitchen towel.
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.
7.When finished with the fryer, turn the
temperature knob to the lowest setting
and switch the power off. Remove the plug
from mains power.
General cooking method
(For pre-cooked, crumbed, floured or wrapped
food.)
8.Clean the fryer only after the oil is
completely cooled down.
1.Adjust the control dial to the desired
temperature. The red temperature indicator
light will illuminate.

2.When the oil has reached the required
temperature, the green ready light will
illuminate. Remove the lid, lift the basket

in contact with the oil. Place the food,
(should be as dry as possible) into the
raised basket.
1.Adjust the control dial to the desired
temperature. The red temperature indicator
light will illuminate.
Note: The basket should always be in the
raised position when it is to be filled with
food.
2.When the oil has reached the required
temperature the light will go out.
Note: Leave the basket in the down position.
3.Remove the lid of the fryer.
4.Coat the food in batter and allow it to drain
slightly to get rid of the excess coating.
➃
5.Very carefully, slowly lower the coated food
into the hot oil, using a suitable implement
or tongs. This allows the batter to become
solid and prevents it sealing to the mesh of
the basket.
Note: Remember to take care as the oil may
spit as the food is added.
3.Lower the basket into the tank.
4.Do not cook food with the lid on.
You can now follow the instructions as given
in the general cooking method, steps 4 - 8.
7
Hints for perfect frying
1. Never use the fryer without oil.
6. Large pieces of food should not be deep
fried, as they take to long to cook thus
absorbing too much oil.
2. Always use the best quality oil possible.
We recommend corn, nut, seed or light
olive oil. Never use butter, margarine or
regular olive oil or extra virgin olive 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.
8. Make sure that food is dry before frying,
wet food will splatter.
4. Change the oil when it becomes brown or
milky in colour.
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.
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 temperature should be.
10.Preheat the oil with the lid on.
11.Remove lid whilst cooking.

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.
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.

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.
• Remove the lid whilst cooking.
• 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.
