Operating your Breville Avance® HealthSmart® Steamer
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging material and
promotional labels from the food steamer.
Wash the lid, steamer baskets, rice/sauce
cooking bowl, drip tray, steam diffuser and
filter plug in warm soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly, also wipe the inside of the water
reservoir, before using the food steamer for the
first time.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE POWER CORD OR
STEAMER BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUID.
OPERATION OF YOUR
HEALTHSMART® FOOD STEAMER
Step 1
Remove the lid, steamer baskets and drip
tray from the steamer base and ensure the
filter plug is correctly positioned in the water
reservoir.
Step 2
Pour sufficient clean, tap water, up to 1 litre,
into the water reservoir of the steamer base
and ensure the maximum MAX level on the
water window is not exceeded. Also ensure the
water level does not fall below the minimum
MIN level during operation.
If cooking for long periods of time, allow the
water to reach the MIN level, then add extra
water to align with the TOP-UP level on the
water window. This may need to be repeated
when steaming for extended periods of time.
Do not refill past the TOP-UP line when the
food steamer is in operation. The extra water
can be poured into the water reservoir through
the pull-out water spout on the right-hand side
of the steamer base. For easy access, ensure
the water spout is in the pull-out position
during steaming.

Step 3
Correctly position the drip tray into place on top
of the steamer base by ensuring the indent (on
one long side of the drip tray) fits over control
panel mechanism in water reservoir.

Instant Steam
The instant steam function enables steam to be
produced within 30 seconds.
Step 1
Press the POWER button at any time to stop
the STEAMER, KEEP WARM or PRESET TIMER
functions.
Step 2
Allow steamer a few seconds to stop producing
steam, then dismantle the steamer baskets
to remove the cooked food, taking care as lid,
steamer baskets, rice/sauce cooking bowl,
steam and water condensation will be very hot.
Allow the steamer base and drip tray to cool
before dismantling and discarding liquid.
ALWAYS TAKE CARE WHEN LIFTING THE
LID, STEAMER BASKETS AND RICE/SAUCE
COOKING BOWL AND DRIP TRAY AS THE
STEAM AND WATER CONDENSATION CAN
CAUSE SCALDING. USE DRY OVEN MITTS
TO PROTECT HANDS. ALWAYS ALLOW THE
STEAMER BASE AND DRIP TRAY TO COOL
BEFORE DISMANTLING AND DISCARDING
LIQUID.
Step 3
Switch off at the power outlet and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet. Allow the
Avance® HealthSmart® Steamer to cool before
dismantling and cleaning.
Denser foods or foods that take longer to cook
should be placed in the lower steamer basket
as this gets a higher concentration of steam.
However, foods such as meat or chicken should
be placed in the lower steamer basket to avoid
juices dripping onto foods below. Place lighter
foods, such as leafy vegetables, in the upper
steaming basket.
Avoid unnecessary removal of the lid and
steamer baskets during cooking, as steam
surrounding the food will escape.
DO NOT STEAM LARGER PIECES OF MEAT
OR FISH, ESPECIALLY FOODS WITH HIGH FAT
CONTENT AS THIS MAY CAUSE THE DRIP TRAY
TO OVERFLOW.

Steamer Baskets
The Avance® HealthSmart® Steamer comes
with three steamer baskets that can be
stacked on top of each other (See Figure 1), or
used with two baskets or with just one basket.
(See Figure 2).
FIG.1
=
–
When using the three steamer baskets at the
same time, the smaller basket has symbols (–)
marked on handles and must be placed on the
bottom. The steamer basket with the symbols
marked (=) on the handles is to be placed in
the middle and the larger steamer basket with
the symbols ( ) marked on the handles is to
be placed on the top.
The three steamer baskets have removable
bases.
The three steamer baskets can be used as
egg cooking trays. The base of each steamer
basket has six indents for standing eggs
upright for cooking. Eggs should be pierced
once through shell before cooking.
Rice/Sauce Cooking Bowl
Use the rice/ sauce cooking bowl to cook rice
or sauces by following the steaming charts and
recipes provided in this book. The rice/sauce
cooking bowl should be inserted into the Fig.3
steaming basket then covered with the lid.
Do not insert the rice/sauce cooking bowl into
a lower steamer basket (when stacking two or
three steamer baskets) as this partially blocks
the effective movement of steam around the
steamer baskets.
