5. Operating Instructions

The GIOwarm Fast Duo offers five versatile operating modes:

General Operation Steps:

1. Place the desired bottles or food jars into the double basket.
2. Add the appropriate amount of distilled water to the heating chamber (refer to specific mode instructions for water levels).
3. Place the lid on the appliance.
4. Select the desired operating mode using the digital control panel.
5. The appliance will begin its cycle. An audible alert (five beeps) will sound when the cycle is complete, and the unit will automatically shut off.
6. Carefully remove the warmed or sterilized items, being cautious of hot steam and surfaces. Always check the temperature of food/liquid before feeding.

Operating Modes:

• Rapid Heating:

  This mode quickly warms baby food or milk. Add water to the heating chamber according to the volume of liquid to be warmed. Select the "Rapid Heating" mode and adjust the target temperature if necessary. The appliance will heat the contents to the set temperature efficiently.

• Keep Warm:

  Designed to maintain a constant, safe temperature for milk or food. After warming, select the "Keep Warm" mode. The appliance will hold the temperature, ensuring the contents are ready when needed. Monitor the duration to prevent bacterial growth.

• Defrost:

  Safely thaws frozen breast milk or pre-frozen baby food. Place the frozen item in the basket and add water. Select the "Defrost" mode. This gentle process helps preserve nutrients.
• Breast Milk Warming:

  Heats breast milk gently to an optimal temperature, typically body temperature, to preserve its essential nutrients. Use the recommended water level for breast milk warming and select this specific mode.

• Sterilization:

  Sterilizes baby bottles, pacifiers, and other accessories by steam, eliminating up to 99.9% of bacteria and germs. Place clean items upside down in the basket. Add approximately 100-120ml of distilled water to the heating chamber. Select the "Sterilization" mode. The cycle will run until completion, indicated by the audible alert and automatic shut-off.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your GIOwarm Fast Duo.

• Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Main Unit: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
• Double Basket and Lid: Wash in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. These parts are typically dishwasher-safe (top rack only), but hand washing is recommended for best care.
• Non-Stick Heating Plate: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild detergent. Avoid scratching the non-stick surface.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up on the heating plate, especially in areas with hard water. To descale, mix 50ml of white vinegar with 100ml of cold water and pour it into the heating chamber. Let it stand for 30 minutes (do not heat). Pour out the solution and rinse the chamber thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary. Descale monthly or as needed.
