INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
FOR YOUR SAFETY, KOZII WILL SHUT OFF PERMANENTLY IF TOO LITTLE WATER IS USED, OR IF KOZII
IS RUN DRY. FOLLOW FILLING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, AND CHECK WATER LEVEL BEFORE EACH
USE.
1.
Place Kozii on a flat, level surface and plug it in. Make sure it is out of reach of children.
2.
Add water. About 1 and 3/4 cups (14 fl oz/410ml) of water are needed.
•
As you add water, allow about 5 seconds for the water to drain down into the reservoir.
•
Do not overfill! Kozii is full when the word “FULL” is covered with water. You may add
slightly more water if you are warming narrow bottles or bags.
•
You do not need to add water with each use. Just check the water level before each use,
and always make sure the water level is higher than the word “EMPTY” in the bottom
of Kozii.
•
Do not start the warmer without the bottle, bag, or jar in place. Never insert a bottle,
bag or jar while Kozii is running.
3.
Kozii is ready to use! Insert bottle, bag, or food jar and set the timer. Use the included
chart (in the Simple Start Guide) as a guide for estimating warming time.
IMPORTANT: If Kozii feels warm around the base (from recent use), decrease warming time by 30
seconds.
•
Water level will rise during warming. Do not move Kozii during warming.
•
Always turn the timer past “2”. If you wish to set the timer for less than 2 minutes, turn
it past “2” (to turn kozii on), then back to the desired time.
•
If the water level does not rise all the way to the overflow drain during warming, you
may add slightly more water.
•
Always open seal and squeeze air out of breastmilk bags before freezing or thawing.
•
Do not overfill breastmilk storage bags. Frozen bags that are overfilled may affect
warming consistency and uniformity, and may break during freezing or thawing.
•
If a frozen breastmilk bag will not fit, try rotating it. Kozii’s warming chamber is oval.
•
Do not put food, formula, milk or any meal directly in the warming chamber. Kozii is
designed only to warm meals that are in containers.
•
If warming a meal in a very short container (such as glass food jars), the water level
may rise above the top of the container. Always put lids on short containers to prevent
water from entering the container.
•
Some bottles may float during warming, as the water level rises. This is OK!
•
Do not place hands in or around the warming chamber during warming.
4.
When the time is up, and the water level drops back down, the meal is ready!
•
To stop warming before time is up, turn the timer (counter clockwise) down to “0”, and
wait for the water level to drop.
•
Before removing the bag or bottle (for checking temperature), turn the timer to “0” and
wait for the water level to drop.
5.
After removing the meal from Kozii, gently swirl it around for 30 seconds before offering
it to your child. This is especially important for meals that were frozen before warming.
•
Always test the meal temperature yourself before offering it to your child.
•
If you spill milk, formula or food into the warming chamber, rinse and clean it
immediately according to the cleaning instructions.
FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
Water must be added periodically to keep Kozii’s reservoir full. Depending on several factors, you will need to
add water every 5-10 uses, or every 1-2 days.
•
For best results, always add water as needed to keep the water level just above the word “FULL”,
in the bottom of the warming chamber.
•
Water MUST be added when the water level (while Kozii is not warming) drops below the word
“EMPTY”.
•
If the water level does not rise to the overflow drain during warming, that is OK! Kozii is still
functioning normally. If you wish (for slightly faster warming), you may add slightly more water.
Filling above the word “FULL”, however, will mean your baby’s meal may continue to warm
slightly after Kozii shuts off (due to the warm water remaining in contact with the bottom of the
bottle or bag).
•
The warming chamber does not need to be full of water. The internal convection pump will raise
the water level during warming, and it will automatically drop again when Kozii shuts off, to
minimize residual heating after the time is up.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Always turn timer to “0” and unplug Kozii before cleaning. Do not immerse in water. Do not use scouring pads,
solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these could damage kozii.
Every 2-3 days (CLEANING):
•
Dump any remaining water out of Kozii using the overflow drain hole at the top and back of the
warming chamber.
•
Pour about 1 cup of a very mild soap and water solution into the warmer, and wait for it to drain
down into the reservoir. Swirl the unit around (do not turn it upside down), and pour the water
out of the overflow drain hole at the top and back of the warming chamber. Rinse with fresh
water until the water comes out without soap suds. When rinsing, make sure to allow water to
drain down into the reservoir each time fresh water is added.
•
Wipe outer surface of Kozii, as well as inside of warming chamber with a damp cloth or sponge
using a very mild solution of liquid soap. Wipe with fresh water. Air dry.
•
Refill according to the filling instructions.
Every 2 months (DE-SCALING):
•
It is very important to de-scale Kozii every 2 months to ensure it continues to work properly. To
de-scale, mix ½ cup (4 fl oz/120ml) of white vinegar with 1 cup (8 fl oz/240ml) of cold water and
pour the mixture into the warming chamber. Allow liquid to stand in the unit for 10-20 minutes.
DO NOT TURN KOZII ON, OR PLUG KOZII IN DURING DE-SCALING.
•
Pour the mixture out of the overflow drain hole at the top and back of Kozii.
•
Rinse with fresh water 3 times. When rinsing with fresh water, be sure to wait for the water to
drain down into the reservoir each time, and swirl it around gently before pouring it out.
