Preparing for use
Filling the basket
Before you put the items to be sterilized in the basket, clean them thoroughly in the dishwasher
or clean them by hand with hot water and some liquid soap. Make sure you remove all milk
residues.
Note: Make sure all items to be sterilized are completely disassembled and place them in the basket
with their openings pointing down, 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 sterilization.
There are several ways to fill the basket:
Four Philips AVENT feeding bottles
1
Place the bottles upside down in the bottle cavities. (Fig. 7)
2
Place the nipples in the nipple cavities (Fig. 8).
3
Place the screw rings loosely on top of the nipples (Fig. 9).
Note: Larger screw rings only fit if placed in slanted position over the nipples.
4
Place the dome caps in the dome cap holders (Fig. 10).
Two large Philips AVENT feeding bottles 11oz (330ml)
1
Insert the rim of the bottles into the slots for large bottles (Fig. 11).
2
Place the nipples in the nipple cavities (Fig. 12).
3
Place the screw rings loosely on top of the nipples (Fig. 13).
Note: Larger screw rings only fit if placed in slanted position over the nipples.
4
Place the dome caps in the dome cap holders (Fig. 14).
Four Philips AVENT storage cups and lids
1
Place the storage cups upside down in the basket (Fig. 15).
2
Place the lids vertically around the cups. (Fig. 16)
Using the microwave sterilizer
Only place items in the sterilizer that are suitable for sterilizing. Do not sterilize your bottle
brush or items that are filled with liquid, e.g. teethers filled with cooling fluid.
Note: Before you sterilize bottles and other items, clean them first.
1
Remove the basket from the base.
2
Fill a baby bottle or measuring cup with exactly 7oz (200ml) tap water and pour into the
base (Fig. 2).
The amount of water needs to be exactly 7oz (200ml). When the base contains too much
water, the items will not be sterilized properly. When the base does not contain enough water,
this can cause damage to the sterilizer or microwave.
