5. Disinfection of feeding bottles, teats and accessories
5.1 General information on
disinfecting
Newborn babies do not initially have sufficient
antibodies to be able to protect themselves
from pathogenic germs. For this reason it is vital
that disinfected teats and bottles are used when
preparing infant feeds. Even the most minute
food particles left on teats and feeding bottles
can easily lead to a build-up of bacteria, which is
a health hazard to infants. Components should
therefore also be cleaned each time before dis-
infecting. The steam steriliser uses heat to disin-
fect the components. Water is heated to above
90 °C and is converted into steam. The heat
generated therefore disinfects the components
inside the steriliser swiftly and reliably. This way
the teats and feeding bottles only come into
contact with heat and steam. As the steam ster-
iliser uses very little water, only minimal power
is required too.
5.2 Disinfection
Beware:
All components being disinfected must
be washed thoroughly and be free of any food
residues.

Warning!
Directly after switching off, the device
will still contain steam, which will, to
some extent, escape through the
steam outlet valve. You should there-
fore take care not to scald yourself.
Allow the equipment to cool down
while sealed for at least three minutes.
Directly after disinfecting the bottles
will be very hot and should only be
removed using the tongs supplied.

The disinfection process lasts approx.
8 minutes using 70 ml of water.
Disinfection is only guaranteed if the
process is not interrupted and the time is
not reduced.
