Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; unit overheated. | Ensure unit is properly plugged into a working outlet. Check household circuit breaker. If unit recently ran a cycle, allow 10-15 minutes for it to cool down before attempting to use again. |
| Warming/Sterilizing takes too long. | Insufficient water; mineral deposits; items too cold. | Ensure correct water amount is used per instructions. Descale the unit as per maintenance section. For frozen items, allow extra time or thaw slightly before warming. |
| Water becomes cloudy or discolored. | Mineral deposits from water. | This is normal with hard water. Descale the unit regularly using the vinegar solution as described in the maintenance section. |
| Unit does not have an 'off' switch / continues to heat. | This is a design feature. | The unit operates on a one-touch cycle that completes when the water has evaporated. To stop a cycle prematurely, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Always ensure sufficient water is added for the desired warming/sterilizing time. |
| Contents are too hot after warming. | Too much water added; cycle ran too long. | Ensure you are using the precise amount of water specified in the warming chart for the volume and starting temperature of the liquid. Remove items immediately once the cycle completes. |
