WARNING
WHEN USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

BURN HAZARD
To avoid risk of burns:

• Sterilizer components and water temperature can be very hot. Avoid direct contact with water and steam. Handle with care.
• Do NOT touch surfaces that may be hot. Wait until all parts of the unit have cooled before touching them.
• During use, steam is released from the vent on top of the lid – Keep hands and face away from the vent.
• Do NOT cover the vent.
• Do NOT place Sterilizer under any object that could be damaged by steam.
• NEVER remove the lid when in use.
• It is recommended to wait before removing the lid. Make sure to open the lid away from you and slowly let out any residual steam.
• Do NOT move Sterilizer when in use or when contents are still hot.
• Use oven gloves to remove from the microwave and to remove the lid when using in microwave mode.

CAUTION

• NEVER use without water.
• Always measure water amount in a separate container, and pour directly into Sterilizer.
• This is NOT a toy. Keep out of reach of children.
• Adult supervision required.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• For household use ONLY-Do NOT use outdoors.
• Do NOT use appliance for other than intended use.
• The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by Chicco and could cause injuries or damage.
• Do NOT use with any bottle or item that is not intended to be heated.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• NEVER use the Sterilizer without the Lower Rack – Objects placed directly on the heating plate will cause damage to the object and the plate.
• NEVER place items on top of the Sterilizer.
• Do NOT use chemical sterilizing solutions/tablets or bleach in the Sterilizer.
• Always clean and rinse the objects before placing them in the Sterilizer.
• Not for space heating purposes.
• Do NOT place metal objects into the Sterilizer when using in microwave mode.

CAUTION

• For glass feeding bottles – make sure glass bottles are clearly marked as microwave safe before using in microwave mode.

• If microwave is equipped with a grill function, make sure the grill function is turned off and has cooled down before using the Sterilizer.

• For use with 600-1200W power microwaves.

• Do NOT microwave longer than the recommended sanitizing time shown in the chart. This may cause damage to the Sterilizer.

• Do NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

• A short power cord has been provided to reduce the risk of it becoming entangled or being tripped over.

• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• If an extension cord is used, its electrical rating must be as great as the rating of the appliance and not draped over the edge of the countertop or tabletop where it could
  be pulled by children or tripped over. The extension cord should be a grounded type 3 wire cord.

• ALWAYS attach plug to appliance first before plugging the cord into the wall outlet.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, a polarized electrical outlet will only allow the plug to be inserted
  one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

• Remove plug from outlet when the appliance is not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before handling.

• Inspect carefully before each use. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. If Sterilizer is faulty and/or not working correctly, switch it off immediately and unplug it from the wall outlet.

• To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or Sterilizer in water or other liquid.

• Do NOT use if the Sterilizer, plug, or cord accidentally falls into water or becomes submerged.

Always clean and rinse bottles and accessories before placing them in the Sterilizer.
Place the Lower Rack (C) on the Sterilizer Tank (D) and arrange feeding bottles neck down.
Replace the Upper Rack (B) and arrange bottle accessories.

Care and Maintenance

CLEANING: Make sure the Sterilizer is unplugged and the power cord is disconnected before cleaning. Clean Sterilizer regularly. After each use allow to cool down completely, pour out leftover water and dry the inside thoroughly. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the Sterilizer. Do NOT use bleach or any other harsh chemicals. Sterilizer is NOT dishwasher safe. Dry thoroughly before storing. Store in a cool, dry place. When cleaning the Sterilizer Tank, never immerse it in water or any other liquid.
DESCALING: It is normal for deposits of limescale to form on the heating plate/tank or in the microwave base. These can vary in size and intensity according to the hardness of the water used in the appliance. Over time, an excessive amount of limescale could reduce the performance or damage the appliance if the deposits are not regularly descaled. It is recommended that the appliance be descaled at least once a week, or each time deposits of limescale are found on the heating plate/tank or on the microwave base.

Use a household descaling solution for the following steps.

1. Unplug the unit and make sure it has cooled down completely.
2. Pour 4.5 oz (130 ml) of descaling solution into the hotplate/tank or into the microwave base, following the instructions provided for the descaling solution.
3. Based on the quantity of limescale to be removed, allow the solution to act for a maximum of 2 hours. Never switch the Sterilizer on when the container is being soaked in the descaling solution.
4. Empty out the heating plate/tank or microwave base.
5. Remove any residue with a soft cloth and rinse several times, pouring 7 oz (200 ml) of drinkable tap water into the heating plate/tank or microwave base and empty out. Finally, dry the appliance carefully with a soft dry cloth before using it again.
