For Best Results
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.
• The degree to which you like your food
cooked.
• The temperature of the water used for
steaming.
To ensure good results using your VitaSteam
Electronic, follow these simple tips: –
• Remove food soon after the steaming cycle
is completed. Food will continue to cook
slightly with the keep warm function.
• Food should be arranged evenly in all
steamer bowls. Foods of uniform size will
steam at a similar rate.

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

hour the Steamer will beep 3 times and the
Steamer will turn off.
Automatic boil dry sensor setting:
The Steamer is fitted with an automatic boil

on empty or boils dry. If this occurs a
continuing beep will sound and the Neon
light will blink. If cooking, the timer will
stop. Refill water through the spout and press
the “SET” button to recommence the cooking
process. The timer will continue with the
remaining cooking time left on the LCD.
