Product Overview

Familiarize yourself with the components of your Chefhandy Sterilizer and Dryer.

The unit consists of a base with a heating plate, a bottle rack for holding bottles upright, an accessory tray for smaller items like pacifiers and nipples, and a lid to contain the steam. The front panel features an LED display and touch-sensitive buttons for selecting modes and controlling the device.

Setup

1. Unpack and Clean: Remove all components from the packaging. Wash the bottle rack, accessory tray, and lid with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Wipe the base unit with a damp cloth.
2. Placement: Place the sterilizer and dryer on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Add Water: Using the provided measuring cup, add approximately 4 oz (130 ml) of purified water to the heating plate in the base unit. Do not exceed the 'MAX' water level indicator. Using purified water helps prevent mineral buildup.

2. Sterilize Only Mode (Steam):
   • Press the Steam button. The display will show '10' for 10 minutes of sterilization.

3. Dry Only Mode (Dryer):
   • Press the Dryer button repeatedly to cycle through drying times: 50, 40, or 30 minutes. Select your desired drying time.
   • The unit will circulate warm air to dry the contents.
   • After the selected drying time, the unit will beep and automatically shut off.
4. Sterilize & Dry Mode (Auto):
   • Press the Auto button repeatedly to cycle through combined cycles: 60, 50, or 40 minutes. These cycles typically include 10 minutes of sterilization followed by the remaining time for drying.
   • The unit will first sterilize with steam, then automatically switch to the drying function.
   • Upon completion, the unit will beep and automatically shut off.

The LED display clearly shows the remaining working time. The device will auto-off with a beep reminder when the cleaning cycle is complete.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Heating Plate: After each use, allow the heating plate to cool down completely. Wipe the heating plate with a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to remove any water residue or mineral deposits. For stubborn deposits, a solution of vinegar and water can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and wiping dry.
2. Cleaning Other Components: The bottle rack, accessory tray, and lid can be washed with warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly. They are also top-rack dishwasher safe.
3. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the base unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the base in water.
4. Storage: Store the unit in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Unit not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the power button has been pressed.
• Sterilization/Drying not effective: Ensure the lid is properly closed. Verify that the correct amount of purified water was added to the heating plate. Make sure items are arranged to allow steam and air circulation.
• Excessive mineral buildup: Use purified or distilled water to minimize mineral deposits. Regularly clean the heating plate as described in the Maintenance section.
