An Introduction to Steam Cooking  
Congratulations on the purchase of your new  
Sunbeam VitaSteam electronic food steamer.  
You will now be able to enjoy the benefits  
and convenience of steam cooking.  
Steaming is also gentle, as the food never  
comes in contact with the cooking liquid,  
ensuring that it retains its shape, colour and  
texture.  
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.

Using your VitaSteam Electronic  
Before using your VitaSteam Electronic 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.  
the unit will turn on automatically after  
5 seconds. The neon cooking light will  
go on to let you know that steaming has  
commenced. 5 beeps will sound when the  
selected time has elapsed and the steamer  
will automatically go to a “KEEP WARM”  
function.  
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.  
Note: If the water in the Steamer runs out  
before the cooking has finished the unit will  
sound a continuing beep and the Neon light  
will blink. See section on the Automatic Boil  
dry sensor setting on page 6.  
1.Fill the water reservoir above the ‘MIN’  
water level and no higher than the ‘MAX’  
water level.  
8.Using oven mitts or a cloth, remove the  
lid by tilting it away from you to ensure  
steam is safely released without scalding.  
Hold the lid over the steamer to allow the  
condensation to drain into the unit before  
removing completely. Remove the plug  
from the power outlet after use.  
Note: Use only clean water in your VitaSteam  
Electronic. 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.  
9.Remove the steamer tray/rice bowl and  
serve the food.  
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.  
Note: Use caution when handling the base of  
the unit and steamer/rice bowl as these will  
be hot.  
Delay Start  
You can delay your cooking process by up  
to 30 minutes. This helps you to get all  
food ready in advance and the Steamer will  
start itself once the desired time has been

Automatic boil dry sensor setting:  
The Steamer is fitted with an automatic boil  
dry sensor which switches off the heating  
element if the base is accidentally switched  
on empty or boils dry. If this occurs a  
continuing beep will sound and the Neon  
light will blink. If cooking, the timer will  
stop. Refill water through the spout and press  
the “SET” button to recommence the cooking  
process. The timer will continue with the  
remaining cooking time left on the LCD.  
Keep warm function  
The steamer is fitted with a “Keep Warm”  
function. Once the selected cooking time  
has finished the Steamer will beep 5 times.  
The unit will automatically go to the “Keep  
Warm” function where the Steamer will  
switch itself on and off releasing a small  
amount of steam at a time to keep your food  
warm. The Steamer will stay in the “Keep  
Warm” setting function for 1 hour. After 1  
hour the Steamer will beep 3 times and the  
Steamer will turn off.  
For Best Results  
The cooking times stated in this booklet are  
a guide only. The steaming time required for  
specific foods is affected by the following:  
To ensure good results using your VitaSteam  
Electronic, follow these simple tips: –  
• Remove food soon after the steaming cycle  
is completed. Food will continue to cook  
slightly with the keep warm function.  
• The size, quality and the temperature of  
the food.  
• The degree to which you like your food  
cooked.  
• Food should be arranged evenly in all  
steamer bowls. Foods of uniform size will  
steam at a similar rate.  
• The temperature of the water used for  
steaming.

Guide to Instant Steam Function  
The VitaSteam Deluxe features an Instant  
Steam Function that will enable steam to  
be generated in as little as 30 seconds. For  
this feature to operate you must place the  
Removable Drip Tray with instant steam  
sleeve in position.  
The Sleeve concentrates a small amount of  
water around the Exposed Heating Element,  
quickly bringing it to boiling temperature to  
produce steam, rather than heating all of the  
water in the reservoir.  
The Sleeve has a small cut out in the bottom  
to allow water to flow into the contained  
water area.  
For more efficient steaming we recommend  
that the appliance is always operated with  
the Removable Drip Tray with instant steam  
sleeve in position.

Guide to Water Levels  
Your VitaSteam Electronic relies on the water  
reservoir being full of water to operate. Fill  
the water reservoir with clean water only. The  
water level must be between the ‘MIN’  
(500ml) and ‘MAX’ (1000ml) markings.  
When continuously cooking food with your  
steamer ensure that the water level does not  
fall below the ‘MIN’ marking (500ml).

Guide to using the Rice Bowl  
Cooking of rice must be done in the Rice  
Bowl. The Rice Bowl must be placed in the  
top steaming tray with the lid.  
Both uncooked rice and water must be added  
to the Rice Bowl. Check the recommended  
quantities on Page 12. For perfect rice,  
ensure you rinse rice properly with cold  
running water before cooking.  
When handling the Rice Bowl use insulated  
pot holders/oven mitts to avoid burns from  
the hot steam.

Care and Cleaning  
Before cleaning your Sunbeam VitaSteam  
Electronic, ensure the power is turned off at  
the power outlet and the plug removed.  
Alternatively, prepare a solution of either:  
(i)-2 cups of water in which 1 teaspoon of  
cream of tartar has been dissolved; or  
Wash the rice bowl, steam tray, drip trays  
and the lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and  
dry.  
(ii)-2 cups of water to which 1 tablespoon  
of lemon juice or white vinegar has been  
added.  
DO NOT wash in dishwasher as the hot water  
temperatures and harsh detergents may  
ultimately warp and scratch these parts. DO  
NOT use abrasives or abrasive cleaners as  
these may also cause scratching.  
Pour the solution into the reservoir, position  
the Lid and operate your Sunbeam VitaSteam  
Electronic for approximately 15 minutes.  
Remove the lid and clean as directed.  
If excess scale has built up, repeat this  
process.  
Wipe out the interior of the steamer base  
with a warm, damp cloth or a small brush.  
Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp  
cloth or sponge. DO NOT use abrasives or  
abrasive cleaners as these may scratch the  
steamer base.  
Note:  
If food with a strong odour, such as fish  
and cabbage has been steamed, the above  
procedure may be followed with the Steamer  
trays or rice cooker bowl in position. This will  
ensure that the odour is not transferred to  
the next steaming cycle.  
Warning.  
NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE OF YOUR  
STEAMER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER  
LIQUID.  
Important – Mineral Deposits.  
Mineral deposits may accumulate on the  
Exposed Heating Element which can result  
in your Sunbeam VitaSteam Electronic  
switching off before the cooking cycle is  
complete. To remove this build up use a wet  
scouring pad and rub over the surface of the  
heating element only after each use.

Vegetables – guide to steaming times  
The following are some handy hints on how  
to steam vegetables:  
5. When steaming several different  
vegetables at once, place the largest and  
firmest in the steamer first. Add other  
vegetables according to size during the  
steaming time.  
1. Before steaming, wash the vegetables  
thoroughly.  
2. Cut off stems and peel if desired.  
6. If a sauce or liquid is to be prepared  
with the vegetables, use the rice bowl for  
steaming.  
3. Cut vegetable to the desired size (smaller  
pieces steam faster than larger ones).  
4. To retain the vegetables flavour and  
nutrients, steam until just tender, but still  
slightly firm.  
7. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed  
before steaming.
