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:
• 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.
To ensure you get the best results when
using your VitaSteam Electronic, follow these
simple tips: –
• 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.

3. Press the 'SET' button again, and the word
'TIMER' will appear on the LCD screen.
Press the 'MIN' (minutes) button until you
reach the desired delay time. There is a
maximum delay time of 30 minutes. Once
the delay time has been selected the unit
will turn on automatically after 5 seconds
and the delay countdown will begin. Once
the delay time has finished the Steamer
will start the cooking process.
Keep Warm function
The Steamer is fitted with a Keep Warm
function. Once the selected cooking time
has elapsed 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 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
stop. Refill water through the external water
fill holes and press the 'SET' button to
recommence the cooking process. The timer
will continue with the remaining cooking time
left on the LCD screen.
