Extension cords (or longer detachable power-supply cords) are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

USAGEThe speed at which the food and bottle warmer heats the milk or food will depend on the size of the bottle or container and the starting temperature of the milk or food (e.g. room temperature 70°F or from the refrigerator 40˚F).We recommend that setting is always used for heating up, setting is used for keeping warm only. Setting isa MIN setting and should not be used.MILK OR FOOD SHOULD NOT BE HEATED FOR OVER 30 MINUTES.The guide gives an indication of the time you can expect the warmer to take. Maximum average stabilized temperatureis approximately 185 °F

FOR FEEDING BOTTLES

Place filled bottle in the food and bottle warmer.
Fill the food and bottle warmer with water to the inside edge using a jug or bottle (unless using a 5 oz bottle). For a smaller bottle fill to the underside of the screw ring. Never let the water overflow or rise above the neck of the bottle.
Before plugging in, make sure the food and bottle warmer is switched to the setting. Ensure your hands are dry.
Plug in the unit to the mains and switch the mains on. The amber light will turn on to indicate the food and bottle warmer is switched on and is heating up.
Turn dial to setting.
Once the water is heated, the amber light will switch off to indicate that the thermostat will maintain the temperature of the water. It does not indicate that the milk is ready. Please refer to the timings table in this manual to find out how long the milk should be heated for.
Heat the milk to the desired temperature. Ensure that the heating guidelines are followed to ensure that the milk is not heated for too long.
Take care when removing the bottle, as it and the surrounding water will be hot.
For your child’s safety always check milk temperature before feeding by testing on a sensitive part of your skin. Take care not to overheat the milk. Gently agitate the bottle prior to feeding.
During feeds the bottle can be placed back in the warmer to keep milk warm by using setting. The thermostat will maintain the temperature of the water. In doing this the indicator light will switch to amber toindicate the warmer is heating up.
Turn back the dial to setting and unplug the unit after feeding.
Empty the unit of any water and wipe dry.

FOR BABY JARS

Remove the lid and place jar in the food and bottle warmer.

Plug in the unit. The amber light will turn on to indicate the food and bottle warmer is switched on and is heating up.
Turn dial to setting to heat up food.
Once the water is heated, the amber light will switch off to indicate that the thermostat will maintain the temperature of the water. It does not indicate that the food is ready. To ensure that the food stays at the temperature you have selected, the thermostat will maintain the temperature of the water. In doing this the indicator light may switch to amber whilst you are heating the food.
Heat food to the desired temperature. Ensure that the heating guidelines are followed to ensure that the food is not heated for too long. Please refer to table provided in this leaflet.
Take care when removing the jar, as the surrounding water will be hot.
For your child’s safety – Always check food temperature before feeding by testing on a sensitive part of your skin. Take care not to overheat the food.

CLEANINGUnplug and allow to cool before cleaning. After each use pour away remaining water from the food and bottle warmer base by tipping the food and bottle warmer sideways over a sink and wipe clean with a damp cloth only. Do not clean with abrasive cleaners or allow to come into contact with solvents or harsh chemicals, damage could result.

DE-SCALINGThe frequency of de-scaling should be as follows:Hard water – 7 daysMedium – 14 daysSoft – 21 daysYou can find out your water quality via your water provider. Unplug the food and bottle warmer and allow to cool before cleaning. After each use pour away remaining water from the food and bottle warmer base by tipping the food and bottle warmer sideways over a sink and wipe clean with a damp cloth only. A build-up of limescale can negatively affect the performance of the food and bottle warmer. We recommend carrying out the descaling process as per the above frequency guidelines to ensure the food and bottle warmer continues to work efficiently. Living in a hard water area can produce limescale quicker than other areas therefore descaling is required sooner. Use a descaler that is suitable for use with stainless steel and use as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Alternatively, you can use white vinegar to descale your food and bottle warmer, please use as per manufacturer’s guidelines. Once you have descaled then follow instructions under set up to perform a final cleaning cycle. You may need to repeat the process if you find that limescale is still present. DO NOT use metal objects or scourers to clean your food and bottle warmer. DO NOT use bleach to clean the food and bottle warmer. DO NOT use abrasive or anti-bacterial materials.
