1. For the milk stored in the refrigerator
2. For the milk stored at room temperature

Note : Indicated warming times are based on Philips Avent Natural and Anti-colic polypropylene bottles. Be aware that warming times of Philips Avent Anti-colic with AirFree vent polypropylene bottles and Natural glass bottles deviate from these indications. In addition to bottle type and material, characteristics like thickness may also impact warming time.
Therefore it may take less time to warm a larger volume of milk.
Note: Philips Avent breast milk bags and Philips Avent 60 ml/2 oz bottles cannot be used in this bottle warmer.
Tip: When you find the milk is not warm enough, you can place the bottles back into the appliance for a maximum of 30 seconds of extra warming.
This will create a slightly warmer result but without overheating.
After the time indicated in the express warming reference table has passed, remove the bottle for feeding or turn the knob to “Keep Warm” to keep milk warm at right temperature. Otherwise the milk will be overheated.
Always check the temperature before you feed your baby. Gently shake the bottle or milk storage container and check the temperature of the milk by sprinkling a few drops on the inside of your wrist.
Turn the knob back to the ‘off’ position.
Caution: If you do not turn the knob back to the ‘off’ position, the water keeps warming.

Using the bottle warmer to warm baby food
Make sure to stir the baby food during warming as it does not circulate automatically. Be careful not to burn your fingers when holding the container/ jar while stirring.
Using the keep warm setting to warm milk
At this setting, you can warm your milk at a slow pace and keep it warm at the right end temperature. E.g. to warm a bottle of 4 oz milk starting from room temperature, it will take 15-20 min. The warming time may be longer or shorter depending on the milk volumes and starting temperature.
Note: Philips Avent recommends you feed your baby as soon as possible after the milk is warmed. We advise not to reheat the milk after it has cooled down again.

Using the bottle warmer with defrost setting
At this setting, your frozen milk/baby food can be defrosted to liquid state.
For frozen milk, check the warming reference table for the expected defrost timings, as indication one small and one larger milk volume are included in the table. After your milk is defrosted, choose the Express milk warming setting or keep warm setting to warm your milk. Please refer to the previous chapters for usage instructions.
Consider the start temperature of your milk around fridge temperature for the warming timings as a rough guideline.

| ml/oz| hou rs
---|---|---

| 60 ml/2 oz-90 ml/3 oz| 1-1.5
120 ml/4 oz-150 ml/5 oz| 1.5-2
180 ml/6 oz-210 ml/7 oz| 1.5-2.5

Cleaning and descaling

Mix 50 ml/1.7 oz of white vinegar with 100 ml/3.4 oz of cold water to descale the bottle warmer. Switch on the bottle warmer, select the Express milk warming setting and let the appliance operate for 10 minutes. Leave the solution in the bottle warmer until all scale has dissolved.

If you are using a silicone bottle, after the time indicated in the express warming reference table has passed, wait for 30-60 seconds to ensure the milk is warm.
The bottle warmer defrosts milk too slowly.| The milk should never be defrosted at a high temperature because it will lead to loss of nutrients. Due to the gentle temperature at which the milk is being defrosted, it might take longer time than expected to melt the milk.
The bottle warmer stops working during the warming process.
I cannot turn on the bottle warmer.| The bottom of the bottle warmer may be blocked by the limescale.
The bottle warmer should be descaled at least every four weeks.
