Before using your VitaSteam Electronic for
the first time, wash the steaming bowls,
rice bowl, lid and drip tray in warm soapy
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.
1.Fill the water reservoir above the ‘MIN’
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.
2. Put the Removable Drip Tray in place.
Note:
Do not operate the Steamer without the
Removable Drip Tray.
3. Place food to be steamed without sauce or
liquid into the steaming bowls and place
on the Power Base. If steaming with sauce
or liquid, use the rice bowl and place
inside one of the steaming bowls.
4. Replace the lid.
5. Insert the plug into a 230-240V power
outlet and turn the power on.
6. To set the Timer turn unit on by pressing
the Power button.
00:00 will appear on
the LCD screen.
7. Press the “SET” button once and the
word “STEAMER” will appear on the LCD
screen. An automatic cooking time of 10
minutes will appear. To change this time
use the MIN (minutes) and HR (hours)
buttons to change cooking time to the
desired cooking time. There is a maximum
cooking time of 3 hours 59 minutes.
Once the cooking time has been chosen
the unit will turn on automatically after
5 seconds. The neon cooking light will
go on to let you know that steaming has
commenced. 5 beeps will sound when the
selected time has elapsed and the steamer
will automatically go to a “KEEP WARM”
function.
Note:
If the water in the Steamer runs out
before the cooking has finished the unit will
sound a continuing beep and the Neon light
will blink. See section on the Automatic Boil
dry sensor setting on page 6.

lid by tilting it away from you to ensure
steam is safely released without scalding.

condensation to drain into the unit before
removing completely. Remove the plug
from the power outlet after use.

serve the food.

Use caution when handling the base of
the unit and steamer/rice bowl as these will
be hot.
