BEFORE YOU BEGIN
FOR USE WITH ROOM-TEMPERATURE OR REFRIGERATED LIQUIDS ONLY. FROZEN BREAST MILK MUST BE THAWED BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
The warmer should not be powered ON without a baby bottle filled with water or breast milk installed on the warmer.
Warmer may overheat if used improperly.
Three dashes of “_ _ _” on the front of the warmer indicate that the warmer’s heating plate has overheated.
Under this scenario, you must wait 15 minutes before the unit is ready for use.
- Choose the correct adapter for your baby bottle (see Included Adapters on page 7).
Ensure the gaskets are installed in the warming unit and adapter (gasket identification letter facing up).
Screw the adapter into the neck of the warming unit.
If no adapter is needed, proceed to step 2.
- Fill the baby bottle with water (for formula) or breast milk.
NOTE: Warm water first, then mix in powdered formula once the heating cycle is complete.
For best results do not use heat premixed formulas or alternative milk.
- FLIP THE WARMING UNIT UPSIDE DOWN
and screw the baby bottle into the unit or adapter. Twist until the bottle is pressed firmly against the gasket to ensure a watertight seal.
- Open the rubber cover on the back of the warming unit, then insert the power cord. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
The standby mode is ready and the display will blink 00.0, it will automatically stop after 30 seconds if no action is taken.
NOTE: When the warmer turn off after 30 seconds of no activity. PRESS AND HOLD the button once for 2 seconds to activate the standby mode. Next PRESS and HOLD again for 2 seconds to activate the heating cycle.
- Make sure the warming unit is right side up when standby mode is ready and then press and hold the power button for two seconds to start warming. The digital 98. C display will turn on.
- When the liquid reaches approximately 98.6°F, the warming unit will beep to indicate the cycle is complete. The liquid will be kept at this temperature for up to 15 minutes after the cycle is complete. After 15 minutes, the warming unit will auto shut off.
NOTE: To ensure your liquid is warmed properly, wait until the end of the warming cycle before removing the bottle.
- When ready to remove the bottle, press and hold the power button for two seconds to turn off the unit. Then unplug the cord from the unit and the wall outlet. Flip the device upside down, unscrew the baby bottle and shake the bottle well to ensure proper heat distribution.
Always check the liquid’s temperature before feeding.
NOTE: Warming a second bottle –Allow at least 5 minutes for the unit to cool before the next use.ON/OFF: Press and hold for 2 seconds
WARMING TIMES
| VOLUME | STARTING MILK TEMPERATURE | |
| 72°F (22°C) | 42°F (5°C) | |
| 4oz/120ml | ~4 mins | ~5.5 mins |
| 6oz/180ml | ~5 mins | ~7 mins |
| 8oz/240ml | ~6.5 mins | ~9 mins |
NOTE: Based on most common standard-sized bottles.
~4 mins means “approximately 4 minutes”
The warming durations are to be used as a guide only. Bottle style and size, liquid starting temperature, and volume can impact the warming speed and final temperature.
For optimal heating, and temperature uses 4oz to 8oz of liquid.
HOW TO CLEAN
Always unplug the unit and ensure that it is cool before cleaning. Do not use scouring pads, abrasives, or solvents for cleaning; they may damage the appliance and its surface. Place the rubber plug back into the plug attachment to prevent water intrusion and cause electrical short during cleaning.
Digital Bottle Warmer: Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge using mild liquid soap, and rinse with clear water. Allow air-drying. Do not submerge the unit in liquid.
Adapters and Gaskets: Wash with mild liquid soap and rinse with clear water. Allow to air-dry. Always replace gaskets to their proper locations (gasket identification letter facing up).
Keep Dust Cover on when not in use to keep the heating plate clean.
DE-SCALE
De-scale your bottle warmer after every use to ensure residual deposits are removed from the heating plate and the silicone seal. To de-scale, mix 15ml (0.5oz) of white vinegar with 15ml (0.5oz) of cold water and pour into the heating plate. Allow liquid to stand in the unit until any deposits (limescale) have dissolved. Discard liquid and wipe heating plate with a damp cloth. Repeat process if necessary.
To avoid bacteria growth, perform “Cleaning” and “De-Scaling” after every use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Blinking display: Digital Bottle Warmer will not operate if tilted more than 30°. Place warmer on a flat and stable surface.
Overheat protection: The power switch turns off after three consecutive beeps – circuit protection detects a rapid increase in internal temperature to prevent damage to the device.
Three beeps: Digital Bottle Warmer will power off due to limescale deposit build-up on the heating plate or if breast milk has not been mixed thoroughly.
Display “E1″: Digital Bottle Warmer is not responding to input command from the control panel due to not functioning temperature sensor.
The display shows “E2”: Digital Bottle Warmer is not responding to input command from the control panel due to not functioning heating element.
