• ⚠️ WARNING: Before using, be sure to read complete Usage Instructions provided with this sterilizer unit. When sterilizing, never use the unit without the recommended amount of water. Only use the Microwave Steam Sterilizer in microwaves that contain a rotating or moving tray. After sterilizing cycle, let the unit cool for at least 10 minutes before handling. Be careful removing the unit from the microwave after sterilizing cycle as the water inside will be hot. Always hold the sterilizer using the side handles; do not try to lift using the handle on the lid. Use two handles on opposite sides for a stable grip. Mishandling the sterilizer could result in scalding. Keep out of the reach of children.
