4.3 Disinfection
Disinfect the VORTEX
®
and the accessories used after cleaning (the VORTEX
®
can only
be disinfected effectively if it has been cleaned first).
In boiling water
•
Place the individual parts of your VORTEX
®
in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
Use a clean pot and fresh drinking water.
If your water is very hard, scale may be deposited on the parts as a milky
coating. This can be prevented by using softened water.
NOTE
Plastic will melt if it comes into contact with the hot base of the pot. Therefore, make
sure there is plenty of water in the pot. This way you will avoid
damaging the compo
nents
.
Using a standard thermal disinfector for baby bottles (not a microwave oven)
Disinfection must last at least 15 minutes. Regarding disinfection and the quantity of
water required for this, it is essential to follow the instructions for use of the disinfector
you are using. Always check carefully that it is clean and fully functional.
CAUTION
A damp environment may encourage the growth of bacteria. Therefore, remove the
individual components from the pot or disinfector as soon as disinfection has finished.
Dry the parts as described in chapter 4.4. The
risk of infection
is reduced when the
parts are dried completely.
4.4 Drying and storage

Dry the VORTEX
®
and the accessories used thoroughly. The antistatic properties of
the VORTEX

VORTEX
®
from being damaged while it is being
transported or stored.

Insert the connecting ring in the inhalation chamber.

and its accessories in a safe, dry
