6. Operating Instructions

The Nuvita 1165 features four pre-set programs for different warming needs. Always ensure the bottle or food jar is suitable for warming and that the cap/lid is removed or loosened to prevent pressure buildup.

General Steps:

1. Place the bottle or food jar into the heating chamber.
2. Fill the heating chamber with clean water up to the level of the milk/food in the bottle/jar, ensuring it does not overflow.
3. Connect the appropriate power adapter (home or car).
4. Turn the control dial to select the desired program. The indicator light will illuminate.
5. The warmer will automatically shut off when the cycle is complete. Carefully remove the bottle/jar using tongs or a cloth to avoid burns.
6. Always shake the bottle/stir the food and test the temperature on your wrist before feeding.

Warming Programs:

• Gentle Defrost (Snowflake Symbol): This mode provides a delicate and progressive warming, ideal for defrosting and warming breast milk or baby food without altering its nutritional properties.
• Bottle Warming (Bottle Symbol): Standard warming for formula or pre-prepared milk.
• Fast Warming (Clock Symbol): For quick and homogeneous heating of formula or food in approximately 2 minutes and 50 seconds (based on initial temperature and volume).
• Baby Food Warming (Jar Symbol): Specifically designed for warming baby food jars to an appropriate temperature.

The warmer features an overheating protection system to prevent food from becoming too hot, preserving its nutritional content.
