Linished cooking surface.
Follow the care and cleaning instructions as
previously described for stainless steel cooking
surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Although your linished frypan can
be cleaned in a dishwasher , the harsh
detergents used in dishwashers may stain the
cooking surface. This will only detract from the
appearance and not affect the cooking
performance. Some foods may also leave a stain
or dull the surface.
Avoid using large quantities of salt on stainless
steel and aluminium frypans. This may cause
pitting and discolour the surface if allowed to
stay in contact with the frypan for extended
periods of time (such as overnight).
High Grade Non-Stick surfaces.
Cooking in a non-stick pan minimises the need
for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier.
To ensure you get the best results from your
non-stick surfaces, follow these simple
instructions:
Before the first use: “Season” the cooking
surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil
and rub in with paper towelling. This will also
be necessary after cleaning in a dishwasher.
Avoid using high settings (8-10), as any food
8. Food such as steaks, rissoles and roasts will
also stick if turned before completely browned
and sealed.
Note: To prevent food from sticking,
maintain low temperatures, ensure
sufficient juices are in the frypan and
season the frypan before and after each
use. This will decrease as the frypan
receives continual use.
Do not use metal utensils. Continued use of
knives, forks or spoons will eventually start to
scratch the stainless steel cooking surface. Use
plastic or wooden utensils.
To clean after each use: Was in hot soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To remove
cooked-on food, fill the pan with hot water and
allow to stand for a few minutes. This will
soften the food, making cleaning easier.
Note: Never fill a hot frypan with cold
water.
Do not use abrasives or scourers. Avoid
using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as
continued use will scratch the highly polished
surface and make subsequent cleaning more
difficult.
Removing burnt-on food. Fill the pan with
20mm (1”) water, cover and simmer for five
minutes or until the burnt-on food softens and
lifts. For stubborn burnt-on food, leave the
frypan to soak overnight, after first simmering
as described. Then wash and dry thoroughly.
Removing stubborn stains. These can be
removed by using Sunbeam Metal Cleaner
available from all Sunbeam Service Centres and
selected retail outlets. Any brand of stainless
steel powder cleaner can be used on stubborn
stains on the cooking surface only.
Rubbing a paste of bicarbonate of soda and
water into the stained area is also helpful in
removing stains. Wash thoroughly.
Note: Re-Season the cooking surface after using
any of the above methods to remove stains.
Dishwasher-safe. Your stainless steel frypan is
completely dishwasher-safe. The heating
element is totally sealed so it is safe to fully
immerse in water. The removable base is also
dishwasher-safe.
