Using your Sunbeam Café Press/Grill.
Before using your Café Press/Grill
Before using your Café Press/Grill for the first
time, the non-stick cooking plates must be
seasoned. Turn the power ON and pre-heat your
Café Press/Grill until the Ready Light illuminates.
Wipe a small amount of butter onto the plates,
rub lightly and wipe away any excess.
Note: When using your Café Press/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 Café Press/Grill
1. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet.
2. Turn the power ON and pre-heat your Café
Press until the Ready light illuminates.
3. Once you have prepared your snack, place
the bread onto the cooking plate.
4. Gently lower the lid by pulling down the cast
metal arms. The café-style floating hinge
system will adjust automatically ensuring that
the top cooking plate lies evenly on your
snack, for perfect toasting every time.
Note: Ensure that the cord is kept well away
from the cooking plates when in use.
5. Allow your snack to toast for approximately 3
minutes, depending on the bread, filling and
personal taste. Your Café Press/Grill toasts
both sides of bread at the same time.
6. The cooking plates are coated with a durable
non-stick coating. Some fillings such as cheese
may melt and cause the sandwich to stick to
the cooking plates. To free the sandwich use
a plastic spatula or wooden spoon. Never use
a sharp or metal object, as this will damage
the non-stick surface.
Note: The ‘ warm up ’ and ‘ ready ’ lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle during
cooking to ensure that the correct temperature
is maintained.
7. After you have completed using your Café
Press/Grill, turn the power OFF.
