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.

water level and no higher than the ‘MAX’
water level.
Note: Use only clean water in your VitaSteam
Electronic. Do not use wine, stock or other
liquids.

desired cooking time. There is a maximum

selected time has elapsed and the steamer
will automatically go to a “KEEP WARM”

before the cooking has finished the unit will

will blink. See section on the Automatic Boil
