Before first use (Fig. 2)
When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to let it complete
one sterilisation process with empty baskets.
1 Use a baby bottle and pour 90ml/3 fluid oz purified water or tap water
directly into the heating plate. (Fig. 2-1)
2 Place the big basket on the base. Adjust the position of the big basket so
that it fits properly on the base. (Fig. 2-2)
3 Place the small basket in the big basket. Adjust the position of the small
basket so that it fits properly in the big basket. (Fig. 2-3)
4 Place the lid on top of the small basket. Adjust the position of the lid so that
it fits properly on the small basket. (Fig. 2-4)
5 Put the plug in the wall socket. (Fig. 2-5)
6 Press the power-on button to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 2-6)
» The power-on indicator lights up to indicate that the appliance starts operating.
» A sterilising cycle takes around 10 minutes (Fig. 2-7). When the
sterilisation process is finished, the power-on indicator goes out and the
appliance switches off automatically.
7 Unplug the appliance (Fig. 2-8). Wait until the appliance has cooled down
completely (Fig. 2-9), and then remove the lid, the small basket and the big
basket, and wipe them dry.
Note
•
The appliance does not work for about 10 minutes after a sterilising cycle, it needs
to cool down first.
5
Using the steriliser (Fig. 3)
Note
•
To make sure the steriliser stands stable, clip the mains cord into the cord slot in
the bottom of the base.
•
Make sure all parts that need to be sterilised are completely disassembled and
place them in the basket with their openings pointing down to prevent them from
filling up with water.
•
Only place items which are suitable for sterilising in the steriliser. Do not sterilise
items that are filled with liquid, e.g. a teether with cooling fluid.
1 Thoroughly clean the items to be sterilised.
2 Use a baby bottle and pour 90ml/3 fluid oz purified water or tap water
directly into the heating plate. (Fig. 3-1)
3 Place the big basket on the base. Adjust the position of the basket so that
it fits properly on the base. Then put the bottles in the basket with their
openings pointing down. (Fig. 3-2)
4 Place the small basket in the big basket (Fig. 3-3). Adjust the position of the
small basket so that it fits properly in the big basket, then put the accessories
in the small basket.
Tip
•
When putting larger teats in the small basket, place the teat in the basket first, then
place the dome cap on the teat, and place the screw ring on the dome cap.
5 Place the lid on top of the small basket. Adjust the position of the lid so that
it fits properly on the small basket. (Fig. 3-5-1)
6 Put the plug in the wall socket. (Fig. 3-5-2)
7 Press the power-on button to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 3-6)
» The power-on indicator lights up to indicate that the appliance starts operating.
» A sterilising cycle takes around 10 minutes (Fig. 3-7). When the
sterilisation process is finished, the power-on indicator goes out and the
appliance switches off automatically.
8 Unplug the appliance (Fig. 3-8). Wait until the appliance has cooled down
completely (Fig. 3-9), and then remove the lid and the sterilised items from
the baskets.
Warning
•
Be careful when removing the lid, hot steam may come out of the steriliser.
•
The sterilised items might be hot. Be careful not to get burnt by them.
Note
•
Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before you touch the sterilised items.
Tip
•
After the appliance has cooled down, you can hang the lid on the side of the big
basket (Fig. 4-1). You can also place the lid on a table with the handle facing down
(Fig. 4-2), this way you can put the small basket on the tilted lid to keep it hygienic,
and easily take out the sterilised items in the big basket.
•
When removing the items from the big and small baskets, you can use a Philips
AVENT bottle tong (sold separately).

Cleaning (Fig. 5)
Warning
•
Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. bleach) or a scouring pad to
clean this appliance.
•
Never immerse the base, the mains cord or the mains plug in water or any other liquid.
•
The steriliser is not dishwasher-proof.
1 Always unplug the appliance after use. (Fig. 5-1)
2 After the appliance has cooled down, pour out any remaining water from
the heating plate (Fig. 5-2), and then clean the surfaces around the base and
heating plate with a soft cloth (Fig. 5-3).
3 Clean the big basket, small basket and lid under the tap with some washing-
up liquid, and wipe them dry.
Note
•
After cleaning, store the steriliser in a clean and dry place.
7
Descaling
When you use the steriliser, small spots may appear on the heating plate in
the base. This is limescale that is building up. The harder the water, the faster
limescale builds up. Descale the steriliser once each week to ensure that it
continues to work effectively. The frequency of descaling depends on how
much limescale is building up.
1 Pour 60ml/2 fluid oz of water and 30ml/1 fluid oz of white vinegar (6-8%
acetic acid) into the heating plate.
2 Leave the solution in the heating plate until the limescale has resolved. The
process takes about 20 minutes, but should not be longer than 1 hour.
3 Empty the heating plate, thoroughly rinse it and wipe with a soft cloth.
(Fig. 3-4)
Note
•
When descaling, do not put the plug in the wall socket.
•
After descaling, store the steriliser in a clean and dry place.
