How to use your Ultra UV 3-in-1 UV Steriliser

1.  Wash items you want to sterilise in warm soapy water, rinse and drain before placing in the steriliser. Don’t put dripping wet items into the steriliser, as water can gather at the base. If there is water at the base or leaking from the steriliser, please turn off the machine and wipe away water.

3. Place bottles facing upwards to help with the drying function.
4. Plug into the power, press the on/off button then select the function you wish to use – sterilise only, dry only, auto sterilise and dry or storage function.
5. The screen will illuminate and flash to show the function when in use. The countdown timer will show how long is left in the cycle.
6. When the cycle is finished, the countdown will show 0 and emit a sound.
7. Remove your items from the steriliser. Be careful as they may still be warm, especially after drying.

Please note…

• You may experience a faint odour on first use, this is normal.
• When in use, hot air is released from the steriliser. Please keep your hands, face and other body parts away.
• The steriliser uses UV light which can cause damage to your eyes and skin. Please don’t stare at the light source.
• Do not take items out of the steriliser during sterilisation.
• There may be some residual heat after use. Do not touch hot surfaces, such as the shelf, until these have cooled down.
• The UV lamp bulb will be hot after sterilisation. Do not touch.
• If you wish to leave the products inside the steriliser you can use the storage mode which will keep them sterile.
• Baby bottles that’ve been sterilised in the UV steriliser may become slightly yellowed in appearance. This is nothing to worry about. The bottles are still safe to use.
