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 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 Electronic  
Before using your VitaSteam Electronic for  
the first time, wash the steaming trays,  
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.  
after 5 seconds. The ON/OFF light will  
illuminate to let you know that steaming  
has commenced. Five beeps will sound  
when the selected time has elapsed and  
the Steamer will automatically switch to  
the Keep Warm function.  
Note: If the water in the Steamer runs out  
before cooking has finished the unit will  
sound a continuing beep and the ON/OFF  
light will blink. See the section on the  
automatic boil dry sensor setting on page 6.  
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.  
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.Place the removable drip tray in position.  
9.Carefully remove the steaming tray/rice  
bowl and serve the food.  
Note: Do not operate the Steamer without the  
removable drip tray in place.  
Note: Use caution when handling the base  
of the unit and steaming trays/rice bowl as  
these will be hot.  
3.Place food to be steamed without sauce or  
liquid into the steaming trays and place on  
the power base. If steaming with sauce or  
liquid, use the rice bowl and place inside  
one of the steaming trays.  
Delay Start  
You can delay the start of your cooking  
process by up to 30 minutes. This gives you  
time to get all your food ready in advance.  
The Steamer will start itself once the  
selected time has elapsed.

Steamer will stay in the Keep Warm function  
for up to 1 hour. After 1 hour the Steamer  
will beep 3 times and then turn off.  
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  
continuous beep will sound and the ON/OFF  
light will blink. If cooking, the timer will

For Best Results when Steaming  
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 you get the best results when  
using your VitaSteam Electronic, follow these  
simple tips: –  
• The size, quality and the temperature of  
the food to begin with.  
• The degree to which you like your food  
cooked.  
• The temperature of the water used for  
steaming.  
• Remove food promptly after the steaming  
cycle has completed. If food is left in the  
Steamer it will continue to cook slightly  
due to the accumulated steam in the unit,  
especially with the Keep Warm function.  
• Avoid overlapping thicker foods or foods  
that will take longer to cook e.g. large cuts  
of meat or large pieces of seafood.  
• Food should be arranged evenly in all  
steaming trays and in the rice bowls. Foods  
of uniform size will steam at a similar rate.

Guide to the Instant Steam  
Function  
The VitaSteam Electronic 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 instant steam 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 at  
once.  
The instant steam 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.  
See Figure 1. The water level must be  
between the ‘MIN’ (500ml) and ‘MAX’  
(1000ml) markings.  
when cooking for long periods and allows for  
continuous steaming. See Figure 2.  
When continuously cooking food with your  
Steamer ensure that the water level does not  
fall below the ‘MIN’ marking (500ml).  
If this does occur your VitaSteam Electronic  
is fitted with an automatic boil dry sensor  
which will switch off the heating element.  
See previous page for more details.

with all trays stacked on top of each other or  
with just one tray in position. See Figure 3.  
Then place the upper steaming trays  
on top for cooking rice or vegetables.  
Note: Ensure bases are properly clicked into  
the sides of each tray before use.  
The base of each tray can also be removed to  
allow for larger food items. See Figure 4.  
Place the largest piece of food with the  
longest cooking time in the lowest steaming  
tray, then place on top of the removable drip  
tray and power base.

Guide to using the Rice Bowl  
Rice should be cooked in the rice bowl  
provided, which has a capacity of up to 6  
cups of cooked rice. The rice bowl must  
be placed in the top steaming tray with  
the lid on.  
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 the 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, steaming trays, drip tray  
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  
eventually warp and scratch these parts. DO  
NOT use abrasives or abrasive cleaners as  
these may also scratch the surfaces.  
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.  
Pour the solution into the reservoir, place  
the lid in position on the Steamer base 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.  
Note:  
If food with a strong odour, such as fish  
and cabbage has been steamed, the above  
procedure may be followed with the steaming  
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 cooking times  
The following are some handy hints on  
steaming vegetables:  
1. Before steaming, wash the vegetables  
thoroughly.  
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.  
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.  
7. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed  
before steaming.  
3. Cut vegetable to the desired size (smaller  
pieces steam faster than larger ones).  
4. To retain the vegetables' flavours and  
nutrients, steam until just tender, but still  
slightly firm.
