Using your Sunbeam Kettle King.
Before first use.
Using your Kettle King.
Remove any stickers from the hotplate. Wash
the hotplate and drip tray in warm soapy water
using a mild household detergent. Dry hotplate
and drip tray thoroughly.
1. Insert the Control Probe fully into the socket
of the hotplate.
2. Plug the cord into a 230/240V power outlet
and turn the power on. An extension cord
that has been checked and tested by your
electricity supplier or a qualified technician
may be used with your Kettle King.
To assemble the stand. (HG6600 only)
Place the base of the stand on a flat level
surface. With the slots to the bottom, insert the
metal tube into the hole in the centre of the
base and push down firmly.
3. Set the control probe dial to the desired
heat setting.
Remove the lid from the Kettle King and
allow to heat up. When the thermostat light
on the control probe switches off, the
desired cooking temperature has been
reached and the Kettle King is ready to use.
Place the swivel shelf over the metal tube with
the handle on your left. Slide the shelf down the
metal tube until it rests on the two plastic pins
as indicated in Figure 1. Never attempt to
remove the plastic pins from the metal tube, as
these are the locators for the swivel shelf.
For oven style cooking, set the dial to Roast
setting, replace the lid and pre-heat for
approximately 10 minutes.
Place the top shelf onto the metal tube with the
utensil rack facing away from you and align it
with the swivel shelf. Push down firmly in the
centre of the top shelf to secure it.
Note: The thermostat light on the control probe
indicates the Kettle King is heating. This light
will remain ON until the set temperature has
been reached and then will cycle ON and OFF
throughout cooking. This will ensure that the
Kettle King always maintains the selected
temperature. The pre-heat time will depend on
the heat setting selected.
Place the base of the Kettle King on the top
shelf and fit it into position. The base is correctly
positioned when it is flush with the top shelf of
the stand on all sides.
Place drip tray into base. For easy cleaning line
the drip tray with aluminium foil. This will
collect the fats and juices.
Position the hotplate over base and drip tray, as
shown in Figure 1.
For better non-stick performance, “season” the
cooking surface of the hotplate by applying a
thin coat of cooking oil and rubbing in with
paper towelling before each use.
WARNING: Charcoal or similar combustible
fuels must not be used with this appliance.
NOTE: Do not place any objects such as
saucepans or plates on the hotplate.

BBQ Oven Cooking in your Kettle King.
BBQ Oven Cooking
Roasting your favourite dishes has never been so
easy!
• Avoid overcooking meats. The longer the
cooking time, the less tender the meat will
be.
BBQ Oven cooking allows you to roast meats
and vegetables efficiently, while sealing in the
flavoursome juices.
• Use a meat thermometer to take the
guesswork out of the BBQ cooking. The
guides on the thermometer will indicate the
temperature of the food. The temperature
guide on the thermometer will tell you when
the meat is cooked to your desired choice. For
an accurate reading, always insert the
thermometer into the thickest part of the
meat.
The result is oven style, tender meat, with
wholesome crisp vegetables.
For a perfect result every time, read the BBQ
Oven Basics section below.
BBQ Oven Basics
• For optimum results, the Kettle King should
always be pre-heated for 10 minutes with the
lid on.
• Keep the steam vent closed throughout
cooking. Open the steam vent during the last
15 minutes of cooking - this will allow any
excess steam to escape.
• Avoid removing the lid continually during the
cooking time. The heat loss will only lengthen
the cooking time.
• All meats should be fully thawed or at room
temperature before cooking.
• Baste the meat during the last 1
hour of
/2
cooking. Excess basting will cause the meat to
burn or darken if left on throughout the
entire cooking time.
• Meats such as beef, pork, chicken and poultry
require approximately 11
-2 hours to cook,
/2
depending on the weight and size. To avoid
the base of the meat burning, place on a
greased sheet of foil. This will also collect
juices, which are ideal to use for gravy.

Care and Cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Do not use metal utensils as these
will scratch the non-stick cooking surface.
Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they
will scratch the non-stick cooking surface. Dry
the hot plate and drip tray thoroughly before
storing.
Do not leave plastic utensils in contact with
hotplate while cooking.
Before cleaning, turn the power OFF then
REMOVE the plug from the power outlet and
the control probe from the socket of the Kettle
King.
Moulded Base and Lid.
The base and lid can be wiped over with a damp
cloth or washed in warm soapy water using a
mild household detergent and a soft washing
sponge.
Control Probe.
Do not place the moulded base or lid in a
dishwasher.
If cleaning is necessary, wipe over with a damp
cloth.
Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they
may scratch these parts.
Do not immerse the control probe in water or
any other liquid.
Stand (HG6600 only)
NEVER use the Kettle King control probe in any
other appliance.
The stand can be wiped over with a damp cloth.
Do not place any part of the stand in a
dishwasher.
Storage
Store the probe carefully in a safe place. Do not
knock or drop it as this can damage the probe. If
damage is suspected, return the control probe
to your nearest Sunbeam Service Centre for
inspection. Refer to the back of your instruction
book for Service Centre listings.
Storage.
Always dry and assemble the Kettle King before
storing. Ensure the drip tray and hotplate are
correctly positioned.
For outdoor storage of your Kettle King, remove
the control prove and store in a safe, dry place.
Hotplate and Drip Tray.
The element in the hotplate is totally sealed, so
it is safe to fully immerse in water. Wash the
hotplate and drip tray in warm soapy water
using a mild household detergent and a soft
washing sponge.
Important:
Before inserting control probe in probe socket
ensure the interior of the socket is fully dry. To
do this wipe interior of socket with a dry cloth
or shake out excess water vigorously.
A bottle brush may be used to clean the
drainage holes in the ribbed hotplate.
The hotplate and drip tray are also dishwasher
safe.
