Preparing for use

Filling the basket
Before you put the items to be sterilised in the basket, clean them thoroughly in the dishwasher or clean them by hand with hot water and some washing up liquid. Make sure you remove all milk residues.
Note: Make sure all items to be sterilised are completely disassembled and place them in the basket with their openings pointing downwards, to prevent them from filling with water. Note: Do not stack the items too closely together. The steam has to be able to circulate around the items to ensure effective sterilisation. There are several ways to fill the basket:

Four feeding bottles
Four feeding bottles

  1. Place the bottles upside down in the bottle cavities.
  2. Place the teats in the teat cavities.
  3. Place the screw rings loosely on top of the teats. Note: Larger screw rings only fit if placed in slanted position over the teats.
  4. Place the dome caps in the dome cap holders.

Two large feeding bottles (330mI/110z)

  1. Insert the rim of the bottles into the slots for large bottles.
  2. Place the teats in the teat cavities.

  4. Place the dome caps in the dome cap holders.

Four storage cups and lids

  2. Place the lids vertically around the bottles.

Two breast pumps and two feeding bottles

  1. Fully disassemble the breast pump.
  2. Insert the rim of the pump body in the breast pump slots in the bottom of the basket.
  3. Place the bottles upside down in the bottle cavities.
  4. Place the remaining non-electrical parts of the breast pump in any unobstructed space in the basket. Note: Make sure steam can circulate around these parts.

Using the microwave steriliser

  2. Fill a baby bottle or measuring cup with exactly 200mI tap water and pour this into the base. (Fig.2) The amount of water needs to be exactly 200mI. When the base contains too much water, the items will not be sterilised properly. When the base does not contain enough water, this can cause damage to the steriliser or microwave.
  3. Place the basket in the base. (Fig.3)
  4. Place the items to be sterilised in the basket (see chapter "Preparing for use").
  5. Put the lid on the steriliser (1) and push down the clips to lock the lid into place (2).(Fig.4)
  6. Place the steriliser in the microwave. (Fig.5) Note: Make sure that the microwave is clean and dry before you start sterilising.
  7. Select the appropriate microwave wattage and time (see table below) and let the microwave operate. Note: If you have a combination oven, make sure that the oven or grill is switched off and has cooled down before you put the steriliser in it. Note: Do not exceed the sterilising time indicated in the table.

Cleaning

Clean the lid, the basket and the base after every use, to prevent scale from building up. Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as bleach, petrol or acetone to clean the steriliser.
Note: Let the steriliser cool down before you clean it.

  1. Clean the steriliser parts in hot water with some washing-up liquid. Note: You can also clean the steriliser parts in the dishwasher.
  2. After cleaning, dry all parts properly. Note: After cleaning, store the steriliser in a clean, dry place.
