3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Munchkin 59S UV Cleaning Bag for first use.

1. Unpack the Bag: Carefully remove the UV Cleaning Bag from its packaging.
2. Prepare the Interior: Zip both side flaps closed from the inside. Insert the wire rack into the Nursery Sterilizer.
3. Adjust the Lid: Open the lid and gently bend the edge of the lid slightly inward. This may be necessary to achieve proper alignment due to packaging during transit.
4. Flatten the Front Edge: Push out the front edge of the Nursery Sterilizer from the inside until the front (shaded in gray) becomes flat.
5. Secure the Lid: Close the lid and ensure the entire flap lies flat against the front edge of the Nursery Sterilizer. This action activates the child-safety magnetic switches, allowing the device to operate.
