- Children may not play with the device.
- Children may not carry out cleaning and user maintenance tasks unless they are aged over 8 and are under supervision.
- Children under the age of 3 should be kept away from the appliance and the power supply cable.
- Do not use the baby bottle warmer in the event of obvious defects on the appliance, cable or connector.
- If the mains cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service department or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent hazards.
- Mains voltage must match the voltage quoted on the underside of the appliance.
- Never use the bottle warmer without water in it.
- Do not move an appliance containing hot liquid.
- Periodically take the bottle/jar out of the bottle warmer and shake the milk or stir the food to distribute the temperature evenly.
- Discard the water from the bottle warmer each time after heating a bottle or jar and use fresh water in the next food preparation.
- Do not warm baby food for too long. For food hygiene reasons, do not exceed one hour.
- Bottles or jars may not be tightly sealed during heating in the baby bottle warmer otherwise excessive pressure may build up (risk of explosion/material damage).
- Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquids.
- Do not use it outdoors.
- The appliance may not be operated with an external timer or a separate remote control system like a remote control socket, for example, because the appliance should never leave unsupervised during operation, so that you can intervene in good time if it malfunctions.
- Only use the appliance for warming baby food in a domestic environment. Incorrect use involves potential hazards to the user.
- Set up the baby bottle warmer so that it is steady and level and so that your child cannot tip it over or pull it off the table or kitchen counter by its cable.
- The appliance should never be placed in the vicinity of hot surfaces,in heated ovens or in the vicinity of gas or electrical appliances, as this may cause damage to the appliance.
- To protect you against an electric shock, the cable should not come into contact with water or cooker hotplates.
- After warming, stir the contents of the jar. Before feeding your baby, check on the inside of your wrist whether the temperature of the food is safe for your baby. A sensible temperature is around 37°C, which is the same as your own body temperature.
- After use unplug the appliance from the mains to prevent it from being inadvertently switched on.

OFF
The bottle warmer is swittched off and the light is off. On every other
setting, the appliance is switched on and the light is on.
Defrost/milk warming (stay-warm function):
Fill the bottle warmer with water until the level of the milk in the bottle.
Regardless of the amount of milk/food, the water should not exceed the MAX
level, indicated in the inner rim. This function is used to defrost milk/food
and/or to keep milk warm.
Food warming:
Fill the bottle warmer with water to the level of the food in the jar.
Regardless of the amount of food, the water should not exceed the MAX level
indicated in the inner rim.
This function is used to warm up food.
Fast warming function:

Regardless of the amount of milk, the water should not exceed the MAX level,
indicated in the inner rim.
The fast warming function will warm the milk in around 3 minutes.
Remark:
The final temperature of the milk or food is determined by the amount of water
in the bottle warmer.
If the temperature is too high, it is recommended to use less water in the
bottle warmer. In case the temperature is too low, use more water. It is
advised to regularly take out the bottle or pot and shake or stir well for an
even heating of the content.
Remark:
There is no auto-shut off function on this bottle warmer when you are using
the fast warming function. Please note to count the time on your own and take
the bottle/jar out in time to prevent overheating.
Defrost/milk warming:
-
Always place the basket into the bottle warmer first before adding a bottle/jar. Do never place the bottle/jar directly onto the heating element.
-
Fill the bottle warmer with water until the level of the milk in the bottle or the nutrition in the jar. Regardless of the amount of milk/food, the water should not exceed the MAX level, indicated in the inner rim. It is recommended to use distilled water, in connection with possible scale formation.
-
Turn the knob to select the function. The power light is alternately on and off. The frozen milk or food is ready after about half an hour/hour, depending on the type of food, quantity and material in which it is heated. The final temperature may also vary slightly due to different milk or formula volumes and the material of the bottle or jar.
Note: It is normal that the indicator will alternately turn “on and off”. The bottle warmer itself will automatically adjust the temperature to ensure the heating milk/food evenly.
Note: To defrost completely, shake the bottle or stir the food from time to time.
Note: The milk/food after defrosting should not be fed immediately. -
Note there is no timer on the BW600. So count the time yourself and remove the bottle/jar from the bottle warmer after the indicated time has run out.
-
Gently shake the bottle or basket and check the temperature before you are feeding the baby. Check the temperature by sprinkling a few drops on the inside of your wrist. Or taste of feel the food when it’s not too hot.
Tip: When you find the milk/food is not warm enough, place the bottle/jar back into the basket for maximum 0,5 min/1 min for extra warming. (Fill a small amount of water into the bottle warmer when the water has dried out and then restart). This will cause a slightly warmer result but without overheating.
Caution: If you leave the bottle/jar into the bottle warmer longer than one hour, the milk/food may become overheated. Cool before feeding.
Note: If you use overheated breast milk or nutrition, valuable nutrients and vitamins may be lost. -
When the defrosting is completed, turn the knob to OFF.
Caution: The water in the bottle warmer may be hot after finishing the defrosting. Be carefull the water can causes serious burns. If you do not turn the knob into to OFF function, the water keeps heating up and will reach a very high temperature. -
