Initial set up

Before first use, clean your steriliser and run an empty, complete sterilisation cycle without bottles or accessories. 

  1. Do not connect to power. 

  1. Remove all parts from the steriliser base. 

  1. Pour exactly 120ml of water into the base of the steriliser to fill the reservoir on the heating plate. 

  1. Place the steriliser tub securely on to the base and add the tray inside. 

  1. Add the lid on to the steriliser tub. 

  1. Plug into the mains supply and switch on device. 

  1. Tap the start/stop button, the LED light will illuminate white. 

  1. Tap the start/stop button again to start the cycle. The LED light will pulse amber during the sterilising cycle. 

  1. The LED light will pulse green when the sterilising has finished and a 5-minute cool down time starts. 

  1. After the 5-minute cool down time, the LED light will switch to solid green. 

  1. Turn off at the mains, remove plug and steriliser lid. 

  1. Remove tub, pour away any remaining water from the base of the steriliser and wipe dry once fully cool. 

This steriliser is designed for use with Tommee Tippee® bottles and feeding accessories (except bottle brush). The steriliser will hold a maximum of 6 Tommee Tippee® bottles or a combination of fewer bottles plus soothers and breast pump parts.

How to use

Before sterilisation, wash all bottles and feeding accessories in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher (top rack only) to remove any milk residue. Separate all components for washing (rinse thoroughly) and reassemble teat and screw ring for sterilising.  

Any residue left on the bottles and components can cause discolouration of the heat plate and could affect the performance. 

  1. Place the steriliser on a flat, heat-resistant work surface. Pour exactly 120ml of water into the steriliser base. 

  1. Place the steriliser tub onto the steriliser base. 

  1. Place the bottles neck-down into the bottle fixtures at the bottom of the steriliser tub. This includes fixtures for Advanced Anti-colic wands and valves. 

  1. Place the tray into the steriliser tub. 

  1. Place the assembled teats and screw rings onto the tray. 

  1. Make sure the bottle hood is removed and placed in the clip provided. 

  1. Place the lid onto the steriliser tub, plug the lead into the mains power and switch on. 

  1. Tap the start/stop button to start the machine. Once powered, the LED light will light up white. Press again to start the sterilising cycle. The LED light will pulse amber to show the sterilising cycle is underway. 

  1. The LED light will move to pulsing green when the sterilising cycle has finished and a 5-minute cool down period is underway. 

  1. Once the sterilising cycle is complete, the LED light will switch to solid green for 10 minutes until going into standby. 

  1. Contents can now be safely removed. If the steriliser is kept closed, the contents will remain sterile for 24 hours.  

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling sterilised items. Take care as the items may be hot. Remove the sterilised items.  

  1. The tray can be used separately as a drying rack or sterile surface. 

  1. To help in the reduction of limescale, ensure the base is drained and wiped after use once fully cooled.  

Please note: If the start/stop button is pressed mid-cycle, the sterilising cycle will stop. You will need to remove any remaining water from the reservoir and add 120ml of cold water before restarting the cycle from the beginning.

How to clean and descale

Cleaning

  1. Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning. 

  1. After each use, pour away any remaining water from the steriliser base by removing the tub and tipping the base sideways over a sink. 

  1. Wipe clean with a damp cloth only. 

Do not clean with abrasive cleaners or allow to come into contact with solvents or harsh chemicals, damage could result. 

Descaling

The start/stop button will flash red and white when a descale of the machine is required.  

You can still use the machine, but it is recommended to descale as soon as this appears.  

After each use, inspect your machine for limescale and if visible, descale following the below instructions.  

Once you have descaled your machine, press and hold the LED button for two seconds to reset the descale feature. 

The frequency of de-scaling should be as follows: 

Hard water – 14 days 

Medium water – 21 days  

Soft water – 28 days 

You can find out your water quality via your water provider.  

Unplug the unit and allow to cool before cleaning. A build-up of limescale can negatively affect the performance of the unit.  

We recommend carrying out the descaling process as per above frequencies guidelines to ensure the unit continues to work efficiently. Living in a hard water area can produce limescale quicker than other areas therefore descaling is required sooner.  

Use a descaler that is suitable for use with stainless steel and use as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Alternatively, you can use white vinegar or a descaling sachet to descale your unit, please use as per manufacturer’s guidelines.  

Where no method is stated, 1 sachet to 200ml of hot water ratio can be applied. See our website for detailed descaling method.  

DO NOT use metal objects or scourers to clean your unit.  

DO NOT use bleach or sterilising fluid to clean the unit.  

DO NOT use abrasive or anti-bacterial materials.  

DO NOT scrub the heat plate.
