5.1. Heating Milk or Baby Food

1. Place the bottle or baby food jar into the warmer. If heating a small jar, use the provided basket.

5. The indicator light will illuminate (typically red) to show that heating is in progress.
6. Once the milk or food reaches the ideal temperature, the indicator light will change (typically white or green), and an audible signal may sound.
7. The warmer will automatically shut off after approximately one hour, but it will maintain the temperature of the contents for up to one hour.
8. Carefully remove the bottle or jar using the basket or appropriate handling tools to avoid burns. Always check the temperature of the milk/food before feeding.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your warmer.
