Troubleshooting guide
5) If necessary, shake excess water from items before
assembling.
6) The tongs can be used to remove small items and
to pull the sterile teats through the screw rings
of the bottles.
7) The contents will remain sterile for three hours,
following the end of the cycle, provided the lid
is not removed.
8) If feeds are made up after the bottles have been
sterilised, they can be stored in the fridge for up
to 24 hours.
9) The steriliser must be left to cool for at least 10
minutes between each use to allow the thermostat
to reset.
10) After each use, pour away any remaining water,
rinse and wipe dry.
Dishwasher Basket (see diagram F)
1) The upper and lower baskets can be clipped
together to hold small items such as teats, breast
pump parts, soothers, etc for washing in the top
rack of your dishwasher prior to sterilisation.
2) To clip together, align the two baskets so that the
indicators are opposite each other and snap the
baskets together. To open basket, pull apart with
fingers using side recesses.
WARNING: If your AVENT items are washed in
the dishwasher with dirty items covered with
remnants of strong sauces, such as tomato sauce,
they may discolour over time.
Care of your steriliser
You should de-scale your steriliser every four weeks to
ensure it continues to work 100% effectively. It may be
advantageous to use pre-boiled or filtered water in
your Express Steam Steriliser in order to reduce
limescale build up.
EITHER:
1) Mix one sachet of citric acid (10gms) with 200ml of
water. Pour into the empty steriliser. Do not put lid
on. Switch on for 1-2 minutes. Switch off at mains
and leave to stand for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse
out the steriliser. Run a full cycle empty with the
lid on, using exactly 90ml of water. Wipe out the
steriliser. (Citric Acid is available from most
chemists –
avoid contact with eyes as this may
cause irritation. Keep out of reach of children.)
OR:
2) Pour 100ml vinegar mixed with 200ml cold water
into steriliser. Allow to stand in the unit until any
limescale has dissolved. Empty the unit and rinse
thoroughly.
Warnings
1) Do not use bleach or chemical sterilising
solutions/tablets in your steam steriliser or on
products to be sterilised.
2) Do not use abrasive, anti-bacterial materials or
scourers to clean the steriliser.
3) Do not use softened water in the steriliser.
4) The steriliser lead is fitted with a moulded plug. In
the event that this plug is unsuitable for the power
sockets in your home, it may be cut off and a
suitable replacement fitted. Remove the fuse and
dispose of the cut-off plug carefully, as it could be
dangerous if ever inserted into a live wall socket.
The replacement plug must be fitted with a
13 amp fuse. This appliance must be earthed.
