General instructions

• Please read these operating instructions carefully before using the Steriliser. These instructions are part of the Steriliser and must be available at all times.
• Use the Steriliser only for the intended purpose described.
• When sterilising in a microwave oven with additional functions, please ensure that ONLY the microwave function is activated, i.e. do not activate the grill function, the upper and lower heat, etc. as this may lead to material damage.

Preventing burns and scalds

The Steriliser operates at high temperatures using hot steam. To avoid burning or scalding yourself please follow the instructions below.
