An Introduction to Steam Cooking

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sunbeam VitaSteam Food Steamer. You will now be able to enjoy the benefits and convenience of steam cooking.

Steaming is one of the healthiest cooking methods available, as it requires no fats or oils. Steaming ensures that fruit and vegetables retain vitamins and minerals

required for a balanced diet. Meats such as chicken can be gently steamed to retain their flavour and tenderness, while the fats drain away.

Steaming is also gentle, as the food never comes in contact with the cooking liquid, ensuring that it retains its shape, colour and texture.

Using your VitaSteam

Before using your VitaSteam for the first time, wash the steaming bowls, rice bowl, lid and drip tray in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Operate the steamer for 15 minutes using a solution of 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 cups water in the reservoir.

Note: You may notice a slight odour during this first operation. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not affect the performance of your steamer.

1.Fill the water reservoir above the ‘MIN’ water level and no higher than the ‘MAX’ water level.

Note: Use only clean water in your VitaSteam. Do not use wine, stock or other liquids.

2.Put the Removable Drip Tray in place.

Note: Do not operate the Steamer without the Removable Drip Tray.

3.Place food to be steamed without sauce or liquid into the steaming bowls and place on the Power Base. If steaming with sauce or liquid, use the rice bowl and place inside one of the steaming bowls.

4.Replace the lid.

5.Insert the plug into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power on.

6.Set the timer to the required minutes.
