Care and Maintenance
Cleaning:
Always unplug the sterilizer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. The racks and lid can be washed with warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.
Descaling:
To prevent mineral buildup on the heating plate, descale the unit regularly (e.g., weekly). Pour a solution of white vinegar and water onto the heating plate, run a sterilize-only cycle, then wipe clean and rinse. Using distilled water can reduce the frequency of descaling.
HEPA Filter Replacement:
The Steridryer includes a HEPA air filter located at the bottom of the unit. This filter helps remove dust and dirt particles from the air used for drying. Replace the filter periodically to maintain optimal performance. The product comes with two easy-to-change filters.

Troubleshooting
- Bottles not completely dry: Ensure bottles and accessories are placed to allow for proper airflow. Avoid overcrowding the racks. Some anti-colic bottle parts may require an additional dry-only cycle.
- White residue on heating plate: This is mineral buildup from water. Follow the descaling instructions in the maintenance section.
- Sterilizer not turning on: Check that the unit is properly plugged into a working power outlet and that the lid is securely closed.
