TIPS AND HINTS
For best results, use purified water to
minimize a buildup of calcium in the sterilizing
chamber.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Why won’t sterilizing start when I turn
the unit on?
A:
Check that the plug is securely inserted
into the outlet.
A:
The sterilizing chamber may be empty.
Add water to the sterilizing chamber.
Q: How do I empty the unit of excess
water?
A:
To empty the unit of excess water, tilt the
unit onto its side over the sink and any
extra water will come out.
Q: Why is there a white residue in the ster-
ilizing chamber?
A:
Mineral-rich water causes calcium depos-
its to build up in the sterilizing chamber.
The unit should be cleaned out once a
month to avoid this buildup. Refer to the
Decalcification section in Cleaning and
Maintenance, following. To help prevent/
minimize this buildup, fresh or purified
water can be used.
Q: Why are the bottles coming out with
marks on them?
A:
This can happen when the sterilizer has a
buildup of calcium deposits. Refer to the
Decalcification section in Cleaning and
Maintenance, following.
Q: Why is the sterilizing cycle taking so long?
A:
Too much water has been added to the
sterilizing chamber. Exactly 100mL of water
should be used each time to sterilize.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning accessories and base
Clean all accessories in warm soapy water or
on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Wipe the base clean with a damp sponge or
cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the
base or the plug in water or other liquids.
Decalcification
Sometimes mineral deposits form inside the
steam chamber that can cause damage to the
machine. To avoid buildup of these minerals,
the unit should be de-scaled once a month.
To descale, pour 1 cup (250ml) of white
(distilled) vinegar into the sterilizing cham-
ber. Let it stand for at least 2 hours and then
empty. Rinse the unit with water after you
empty the unit of the vinegar to ensure it is
properly rinsed out. Repeat if necessary.
