Sunbeam ST6820 Electric Steamer User Manual

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 the Instant Steam
Function
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 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.
The external water fill holes on both sides
of the Steamer allow you to add water to the
Steamer without removing the steaming trays.
This is ideal for topping up water levels
when cooking for long periods and allows for
continuous steaming. See Figure 2.
