Dr. Brown's Microwave Steam Sterilizer

Cleaning And Assembly

• Fully disassemble all parts of the feeding bottle before each use.
• Thoroughly wash parts with hot soapy water and rinse.
• Carefully clean nipples/teats, inserts, and reservoirs, ensuring each hole is completely clean and clear. Follow the Instructions Sheet supplied with the baby bottles.
• Rinse the lid, steam plate, and bottom of the Steam Sterilizer thoroughly with clean water.
• Place the steam plate onto the bottom, then turn it 90° to ensure it is in a secure, fixed position.
• Pour 6 ounces (180 ml) of water into the center of the bottom. Use a graduated feeding bottle to measure the correct amount.

Warning: Never put any liquid other than tap water into the sterilizer.

Note: Failure to add the right amount of water may cause damage to the products and/or your microwave.
