Cooking of rice must be done in the Rice Bowl.
The Rice Bowl can either be placed in the 3 or 4
Litre Steaming Tray.
Both uncooked rice and water must be added to
the Rice Bowl. Check the recommended
quantities on Page 9.
When handling the Rice Bowl use insulated pot
holders/oven mitts to avoid burns from the hot
steam.

Before cleaning your Sunbeam VitaSteam
Deluxe, ensure the power is turned off at the
power outlet and the plug removed.
Wash the rice bowl, steam tray, drip trays
and the lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Do not wash in an automatic 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.
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.
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 Deluxe 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.
Alternatively, prepare a solution of either:
(i) 2 cups of water in which 1 teaspoon of cream
of tartar has been dissolved; or
(ii) 2 cups of water to which 1 tablespoon of
lemon juice or white vinegar has been added.
Pour the solution into the reservoir, position the
Lid and operate your Sunbeam VitaSteam Deluxe
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 Steamer trays or rice
cooker bowl in position. This will ensure that the
odour is not transferred to the next steaming
cycle.
