Care of your sterilizer
Using distilled water in your AVENT iQ24 ™
Sterilizer can reduce limescale build up. You
should de-scale your sterilizer every four
weeks, or as often as needed in hard water
areas, to ensure it continues to work 100%
effectively.
Pour 100ml vinegar mixed with 200ml
cold water into the sterilizer. Allow to stand
in the unit until any limescale has dissolved.
Drain and rinse the inside of the sterilizer
thoroughly. Wipe dry.
WARNINGS
• Ensure the sterilizer is placed on a firm
level surface when in use.
• Always add the correct amount of water
before each use as failure to do so will
result in improper sterilization.
• When in use, the sterilizer contains
boiling water and steam escapes from
the vent in the lid.
• Never place items on top of the sterilizer.
• Always allow 3 minutes cooling time
before removing the lid after each cycle.
• Take care when opening as steam can burn.
• During the sterilizing cycle the lid and
the sterilizer body are very hot.
• Always keep out of reach of children.
• Never open the unit during the 6 minute
sterilizing cycle. Items are not sterile if
the 6 minute sterilizing cycle is
interrupted.
• To completely stop the sterilizer at any
time during a cycle, press and hold the
control button for 2 seconds to return
to selection mode or, unplug at the
electrical outlet.
• Always unplug the power cord from
the back of the sterilizer before pouring
away water and/or rinsing.
• Always unplug from the electrical outlet
when not in use.
• The power supply must be removed from
the unit for it to be completely switched off.
• Never immerse the sterilizer in water.
• Never use the sterilizer without water.
• Do not use bleach or chemical sterilizing
solutions/tablets in your steam sterilizer
or on products to be sterilized.
• Do not use abrasive, anti-bacterial
materials or scourers to clean the sterilizer.
• Do not use softened water in the sterilizer.
• The power cord supplied must not be
used on any other appliance and no other
power cord should be used with the
AVENT iQ24 Sterilizer.
