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.
