10. Remove upper tray and lower tray, pour away any remaining water and wipe dry. Your steriliser is now ready to use.

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.

Before sterilisation, wash and rinse thoroughly all bottles and feeding accessories in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher (top rack only) to remove any milk residues. Separate all components for washing and reassemble teat and screw ring for sterilising. (Any milk residue left on the bottles and components can cause discolouration of the heatplate and could affect the performance.)

The frequency of de-scaling should be as follows:

Hard water: 14 days

Medium: 21

Soft: 28

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

After each use pour away remaining water from the unit base by tipping the unit sideways over a sink and wipe with a damp cloth only. 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 frequency 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. Once you have descaled then follow instructions under set up to perform a final cleaning cycle.

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.

Not really. If you have way more steam than you’d expect, it could be that you’ve just got a few too many items inside. Check that items are correctly loaded into the steriliser. There are marked areas on the trays to show where to put your bottles, and if you’re popping other items like teethers or soothers in, just be sure to space these out evenly.

Don’t overfill the machine with too many products as this reduces how efficiently the steriliser works and it may not sterilise properly.

The correct amount of water is 80ml. More than 80ml of water in the steriliser base will increase the cycle time. Less than 80ml may not sterilise the items properly.

Yes, it’s common to have droplets of water remaining, the majority of the 80ml water should have evaporated during the sterilisation cycle. Just empty it out once you’re finished and dry thoroughly to use again.

The chances are the marks are milk residue. Sterilising removes bacteria, but bottles still need to be washed beforehand to remove any bits of milk clinging on inside. Warm soapy water will do the trick - thoroughly wash, then rinse and pop them in your steriliser.

If you want to store your steriliser to use again, we’d suggest that you run a full descaling programme to ensure all limescale is removed and to give it a clean. Ensure the unit is thoroughly dry and securely wrapped in bubble wrap and cardboard to keep it nice and snug. When deciding where to store it, we’d suggest somewhere nice and dry to avoid any damage.

The teat tongs are included with the steriliser so that you can safely remove freshly sterilised items without touching them with your fingers and potentially contaminating them. You can remove the teats with the teat tongs and then use the screw ring to re-assemble with the bottle.

Teat tongs should also be used to squeeze any residual water from the baglet of a soother. This is important to do after each wash/ sterilising cycle, to avoid the risk of burning your little one’s mouth.

Thankfully, you can cross this off your to-do list. Any water left inside the bottles after sterilisation is sterile and won’t collect germs, so there’s no need to dry. In fact, wiping the inside of a bottle after sterilisation could add even more germs, so it’s best not to!

Just reassemble as normal, but wash your hands thoroughly first, or use the teat tongs provided if you have them. The idea is to keep the bottle as clean and sterile as possible.

If you don’t want to leave them all in the steriliser for the 24-hours, you can reassemble all bottles straight away and store them in a dry location. The fully assembled bottles will be ok to use for the same 24-hour period. Any unused bottles, after the 24 hours should be popped back in for a fresh sterilising cycle.
