Instructions for use
The Philips AVENT Digital Steam Steriliser is one of a new generation
of intelligent products from Philips AVENT.
The Digital Steriliser uses the intensive heat of steam to eliminate
harmful bacteria helping you sterilise your baby feeding equipment
as safely and quickly as possible. There are two different modes for
greater convenience:
Mode 1
(Optional six hour mode) runs a single 6 minute sterilising
cycle, then keeps the contents sterile for 6 hours, providing the lid is
not removed.
Mode 2
keeps contents sterile for up to 24 hours by continuously
repeating the cycle, so you can have clean, sterile bottles day and night.
As well as bottles and breastfeeding accessories, you can sterilise any
other boilable items (please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
regarding sterilisation).
Please take a few minutes to read through the
ENTIRE INSTRUCTION
LEAFLET
before using your Digital Steriliser for the first time.
PLEASE
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

formula should be made up fresh for each feed.
8.
After each cycle the unit should be allowed to cool for
at least 3 minutes before opening and removing parts.
If after a Mode 1 cycle is run the unit must be allowed
to cool for a minimum of 10 minutes prior to running
another sterilisation cycle.
Dishwasher Basket
(see diagram F page 3)
1. Two baskets can be clipped together to hold small items such as
teats, breast pump parts etc. for washing in the top rack of your
dishwasher prior to sterilisation.
2. To clip together, align the baskets so that the indicators are
opposite each other and snap the baskets together. To open,
pull apart with fingers.
Warning: Your Philips AVENT items may discolour over time if they
are washed in the dishwasher with dirty items covered with
remnants of strong sauces, such as tomato sauce.
Care of your steriliser
Using pre-boiled or filtered water in your Digital Steriliser can reduce
limescale build up. You should de-scale your steriliser every four weeks,
or as often as needed in hard water areas, to ensure it continues to
work 100% effectively. Under no circumstances should anything
other than citric acid or vinegar be used as it may cause irreparable
damage. Avoid contact with eyes as this may cause irritation. Keep
out of the reach of children.
EITHER:
1. Mix one sachet of citric acid (10gms) with 200ml of water.
Pour into the empty steriliser*. Do not put lid on. Activate Mode 1
and leave for 1-2 minutes. Unplug and leave to stand for 30
minutes. Drain and rinse the inside of the steriliser. Then in
Mode 1, run a full sterilising cycle empty with the lid on, using
exactly 90ml of water. Drain and wipe dry.
