Using your VitaSteam Deluxe.
Before using your VitaSteam Deluxe 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 ‘Lo’ water
level and no higher than the ‘Hi’ water level.
Note: Use only clean water in your VitaSteam
Deluxe. 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. To set the Timer first turn the dial fully
clockwise to 60 minutes, then turn it anti-
clockwise to your desired cooking time. This
ensures accurate timing. The power on light
will illuminate.
7. A bell will sound when the selected time has
elapsed and the steamer will automatically
switch off. 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.
8. Remove the steamer tray/rice bowl and serve
the food.
Note: Use caution when handling the base of
the unit and steamer/rice bowls as these will
be hot.
The cooking times stated in this booklet are a
guide only. The steaming time required for
specific foods is affected by the following:
• The size, quality and the temperature of the
food.
• The degree to which you like your food cooked.
• The temperature of the water used for
steaming.
To ensure good results using your VitaSteam
Deluxe, follow these simple tips: –
• Remove food immediately after the steaming
cycle is completed. Food will continue to cook
slightly due to the accumulated steam, if you
leave it in the steamer.
• Food should be arranged evenly in both
steamer bowls. Foods of uniform size will
steam at a similar rate.
