Is UV light safe?
This steriliser and dryer uses ultraviolet or UV light which kills 99.9% of germs to give you sterilised baby bottles and other equipment.
But UV light can cause damage to your eyes and skin. That’s why we say please don’t stare at the light source.
I’ve just used my UV steriliser and dryer for the first time and there’s a funny smell. Is something wrong?
No. You may experience a faint odour on first use. This is normal.
Help! My bottles have turned yellow after I sterilised them.
Baby bottles that have 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.
Help, my UV steriliser & dryer isn’t working properly, what can I do?
There are a few things to check:
1. Have you opened the door while the unit was running?
2. Are any items blocking the steriliser outlet?
Why do I have to position my steriliser away from the wall?
We recommend a 10cm gap to allow for ventilation, this protects your work surfaces and the unit.
If I leave my bottles in storage mode, how long will they remain sterile for?
In storage mode the steriliser will sterilise and dry the product every 2 hours, until the steriliser is switched off with the power off button.
