CLEANING

Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning. After each use pour away remaining water from the steriliser base by tipping the steriliser 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. Unplug the unit and allow to cool before cleaning. 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. 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 200ml 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 sterilising fluid to clean the unit. DO NOT use abrasive or anti-bacterial materials. DO NOT scrub the heat plate.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The unit will not work

Check the mains lead is plugged into the unit and the mains socket is switched on. Check the fuse is in the plug (in a UK plug only). Check the socket by plugging in another appliance. Check the appliance by plugging into another socket.

Excessive steam

Check that items are correctly loaded in steriliser. Use exactly 80ml of water.

Bottles come out with a chalky mark

Steriliser needs descaling. Refer to Cleaning Instructions.

Cycle takes too long to complete

Too much water in steriliser. Use exactly 80ml of water.

USAGE

Before sterilisation, wash 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 (rinse thoroughly) and reassemble teat and screw ring for sterilising. (Any 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 steriliser base. Your Tommee Tippee bottles have a handy 80ml measure.
Assemble lower tray into the steriliser base with logo facing forwards on the right hand side.
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.
Slot the hoods into 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 steriliser 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 steriliser is in its warm up phase and will automatically begin the sterilising phase when the appropriate temperature is reached.
The light will automatically switch off when the sterilising phase has finished.
The stop button is there in case you need to manually stop your steriliser mid cycle. If you do this you will have to restart the sterilising process from the beginning as the contents will not be sterilised.
After the cycle has finished allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before opening the steriliser. 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 steriliser is unopened.
Wash your hands thoroughly before handling sterilised items. Take care as the items may be hot. Remove the sterilised 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 STERILISER BASE WILL PROLONG THE CYCLE TIME. LESS THAN 80ML MAY NOT STERILISE ITEMS PROPERLY. DURING STERILISATION 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 STERILISER UNTIL THE LIGHT HAS SWITCHED OFF, OR YOU HAVE PRESSED THE STOP BUTTON AND WAITED 5 MINUTES TO ALLOW FOR COOLING.
