CLEANING
Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning. After each use pour away remaining water from the sterilizer base by tipping the sterilizer sideways over a sink and wipe clean with a damp cloth only. Do not clean with abrasive cleaners or allow to come into contact with solvents or harsh chemicals, damage could result.
DE-SCALING
The frequency of de-scaling should be as follows: Hard water: 14 days Medium: 21 Soft: 28 You can find out your water quality via your water provider. FAQs and a picture of limescale can be found on our website. After each use pour away remaining water from the unit base by tipping the unit sideways over a sink and wipe with a damp cloth only. Unplug the unit and allow to cool before cleaning. A build up of limescale can negatively affect the performance of the unit. We recommend carrying out the descaling process as per above frequency guidelines to ensure the unit continues to work efficiently. Living in a hard water area can produce limescale quicker than other areas therefore descaling is required sooner. Use a descaler that is suitable for use with stainless steel and use as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Alternatively you can use white vinegar or a descaling sachet to descale your unit, please use as per manufacturer’s guidelines. Where no method is stated, 1 sachet to 6.8 oz of hot water ratio can be applied. See our website for detailed descaling method. Once you have descaled then follow instructions under set up to perform a final cleaning cycle. DO NOT use metal objects or scourers to clean your unit. DO NOT use bleach or sterilizing fluid to clean the unit. DO NOT use abrasive or anti-bacterial materials. DO NOT scrub the heat plate.

USAGE
Before sterilization, wash and rinse thoroughly all bottles and feeding accessories in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher (top rack only) to remove any milk residues. Separate all components for washing and reassemble teat and screw ring for sterilizing. (Any milk residue left on the bottles and components can cause discolouration of the heatplate and could affect the performance.)
- Place on a flat, heat resistant work surface. Pour exactly 80ml of water into the sterilizer base. Your Tommee Tippee bottles have a handy 80ml measure.
- Assemble lower tray into the sterilizer base with logo facing forwards on the right hand side.
- 3. Place the bottles neck downwards into the locators of the removable tray. This includes locators for advanced anti-colic valves.
- Place the upper tray onto the lower tray.
- Place the assembled teat and screw ring onto the upper tray. It is important not to have the hoods fitted onto the teat and screw ring.
- Rest the hoods on the hood locators of the removable upper tray so that they hang over the teat and screw ring but are not fully assembled.
- Place the lid onto the sterilizer base and plug the lead into the mains power.
- Press the play button to start the machine. An amber light will come on. This shows that the sterilizer is in its warm up phase and will auto-matically begin the sterilizing phase when the appropriate temperature is reached.
- The light will automatically switch off when the sterilizing phase has finished.
- The stop button is there in case you need to manually stop your sterilizer mid cycle. If you do this you will have to restart the sterilizing process from the beginning as the contents will not be sterilized.
- After the cycle has finished allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before opening the sterilizer. We recommend that you hold the lid by the two side handles, lift vertically until you have cleared the upper tray then tilt the lid to an angle away from you to allow the water to drain.
- The contents will remain sterile for 24 hours if the sterilizer is unopened.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before handling sterilized items. Take care as the items may be hot. Remove the sterilized items.
- The trays can be used separately as a drying rack or sterile surface.
- To help in the reduction of limescale, ensure that the unit is drained and wiped after use once fully cooled.
WARNINGS
MORE THAN 80ML OF WATER IN THE STERILIZER BASE WILL PROLONG THE CYCLE TIME.
LESS THAN 80ML MAY NOT STERILIZE ITEMS PROPERLY. DURING STERILIZATION HOT
STEAM PASSES THROUGH THE VENTS AT THE TOP OF THE UNIT. POSITION THIS UNIT AWAY
FROM WALLS AND MAKE SURE IT IS NOT UNDERNEATH ANY OVERHANGING SHELVES OR
CABINETS. DO NOT OPEN THE STERILIZER UNTIL THE LIGHT HAS SWITCHED OFF, OR YOU
HAVE PRESSED THE STOP BUTTON AND WAITED 5 MINUTES TO ALLOW FOR COOLING.
