DuPont Teflon Platinum Pro
Professional Use
Your Sunbeam Café Press/Grill features
a special scratch and abrasive-resistant
non-stick cooking coating that makes it
safe to use metal utensils when cooking.
The result is a non-stick coating that can be
treated like ordinary cookware, enabling the
use of metal utensils. However, Sunbeam
recommends that care is taken with the non-
stick coating when using metal utensils.
Teflon® Platinum Pro – Professional Use is
™
DuPont’s toughest non-stick coating to date
– up to 10 times more scratch resistant than
single layer non-stick coatings.*
DuPont is the world leader in non-stick
coatings and today more than 2 billion
households have Teflon® non-stick coated
cookware.
Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside
the Café Press/Grill. Damage caused to your
Café Press/Grill as a result of misuse of metal
utensils will void your warranty.

Using your Sunbeam Café
Press/Grill
Before for use
Ensure any stickers and packaging are
removed from the product. Wipe over plates
with a dampened cloth and dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
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/Grill until the Ready light
illuminates.
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.
3.Once you have prepared your snack, place
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.
the bread onto the cooking plate.
4.Gently lower the lid by pulling down the
handle. 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.

Hints for best results
1.Any type or shape of bread can be used,
e.g. white, wholemeal, wholegrain,
sourdough, bread rolls, bagels.
4.It is not necessary to butter the outside of
your bread as the Café Press has non-stick
cooking plates.
2.Various thicknesses of bread can be used
from thick to thin slice. Turkish pide or
focaccia are also suitable.
3.Sweet breads with a high sugar content
(e.g. fruit loaf, raisin bread, brioche) will
brown more quickly than non-sweetened
breads.
5.Be careful when biting into snacks
containing fillings such as cheese, tomato
or jam as they retain heat and can burn if
eaten too quickly.

Care and Cleaning
DuPont Teflon® Platinum Pro Professional Use
Non-stick Coating
Do not place your Café Press/Grill in a
dishwasher.
Your Café Press/Grill features a special
scratch and abrasive resistant non-stick
coating that makes it safe to use metal
utensils when cooking.
Sunbeam recommends that care is taken with
the non-stick coating particularly when using
metal utensils.
Always clean after each use to prevent a
build up of cooking residue on the grill.
To clean the exterior
Simply wipe over with a dampened cloth and
polish dry with a dry soft cloth. Do not use
steel wool, scouring pads or abasive cleaners
as these will scratch the surface.
Do not use sharp objects or cut food on top
of the Café Press/Grill.
Storage
Sunbeam will not be liable for damage to the
non-stick coating where metal utensils have
been misused.
When cleaning the non-stick coating do not
use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. After
cleaning, dry the Café Press/Grill and lid
thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing.
Your Café Press/Grill will store in an upright
position in cupboards, shelves or on the
bench top. Simply bring the plates together
and located on the right cast metal arm,
press the securing latch. This will lock the
plates together.
Always turn the power OFF and REMOVE the
plug from the power point before cleaning.
Quick cleaning method
Always turn the power OFF and remove plug
after use and before cleaning. The cooking
plates are coated with a non-stick surface,
and there are no dirt traps, therefore little
cleaning is required. Once cooled, simply
wipe the cooking plates with a dampened
cloth.
Do not immerse your Café Press/Grill in
water or any other liquid. Do not use abrasive
scouring pads or powders.
