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.

Step 4

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.

Do not steam larger pieces of meat or fish, especially foods with high fat

content as this may cause the drip tray to overflow.

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 steaming basket.

Avoid unnecessary removal of the lid and steamer baskets during cooking, as steam surrounding the food will escape.

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.2

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.
