6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to warm your baby's bottle:
- Prepare Bottle: Fill your baby's bottle with breast milk or formula. Ensure the bottle is sealed properly. The warmer is compatible with wide-neck and standard-neck bottles.
- Add Water: Using the provided measuring cup, add the appropriate amount of water into the water reservoir. The amount of water needed depends on the volume of liquid in the bottle and the desired temperature. As a general guide, for a 2 oz bottle, start with 2 minutes of heating time. For a 9 oz bottle, approximately 5 minutes may be required. Adjust water volume and time based on your specific bottle and liquid volume.
- Place Bottle: Carefully place the prepared bottle into the bottle basket/chamber of the warmer.
- Turn On: Press the 'ON/OFF' button to power on the unit. The digital display will activate.
- Set Heating Time: Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow buttons to select the desired heating time. The digital display will show the selected time in minutes.
- Start Heating: Once the time is set, the warmer will automatically begin the heating cycle after a few seconds, or you may press the 'ON/OFF' button again to start. The 'HEAT' indicator light will illuminate.
- Automatic Shut-off and Alert: The warmer will automatically shut off once the set heating time is complete. An audible alert will sound to notify you that the warming cycle has finished. The digital display will count down the last minute in seconds (e.g., 59, 58, ... 0).
- Remove Bottle: Carefully remove the bottle from the warmer. Be cautious as steam may be present.
- Check Temperature: Always shake the bottle gently to distribute heat evenly and test the temperature of the milk or formula on the back of your hand before feeding your baby.

7. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
- Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the warmer from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the warmer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
- Water Reservoir: After each use, empty any remaining water from the reservoir. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth to prevent mineral buildup (scale). Do not leave water in the reservoir when not in use.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (scale) may build up in the water reservoir, especially in areas with hard water. To descale, mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar with 1/2 cup of cold water. Pour the solution into the water reservoir and let it stand for 30 minutes. Do not turn on the warmer. Pour out the solution and rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean water several times.
- Storage: Store the warmer in a clean, dry place when not in use.
