AGU PS1 UV Fay Soother Sterilizer User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Dear friends, thank you for choosing our products!

Soother sterilizer AGU PS1 UV is a modern, simple and easy to use highly efficient device that allows you to quickly disinfect baby soothers, bottle nipples, teethers and many other accessories.

Soother sterilizer AGU PS1 UV features:

1. The device uses the ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) technology to produce ultraviolet light in the UV-C range (200 – 280 nm). The UV-C range is the most effective for killing microbes, as its short-wavelength radiation can penetrate the walls into the cells of microorganisms, causing molecular instability that leads to disruption of the DNA sequence, making the cells unable to grow and reproduce. Being unable to reproduce, the cell loses its viability and dies quickly. Viruses are especially sensitive to UV-C radiation because they lack cell walls or cell membranes.
2. Effectively kills up to 99.9% of germs, bacteria, mold and viruses, giving your child extra protection and helping him/her grow up healthy.
3. The device does not generate ozone and does not produce any hazardous deposits or harmful chemicals.
4. Safe to use. If the cover is accidentally opened during operation, the built-in safety switch will automatically disable the device.
5. The device has a small size and is powered by a built-in battery, which allows you to protect the health of your child both at home and during walks or trips. With its compact and portable design, the sterilizer can be easily fitted in any travel bag or backpack, or fixed to your handbag, diaper bag or stroller with the handy strap provided.
6. You can disinfect soothers, bottle nipples and teethers anytime and anywhere.

Please read this user manual carefully before  using the soothersterilizer. Keep it for future reference.
