TIPS AND HINTS
For best results, use purified water to prevent calcium deposits in the
warming chamber. When storing food, refrigerated food should be
enjoyed within 3 days, and frozen foods should be used within 30 days
for optimum freshness.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Why won’t steaming start when I turn the unit on?
A: Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
A: The warming chamber may be empty. Add water to the steam
chamber.
Q: How do I empty the unit of excess water?
A: To empty the unit of excess water, tilt the unit onto its side over the
sink and any extra water will come out.
Q: Why is there a white residue in the bottle warming chamber?
A: Mineral-rich water causes calcium deposits to build up in the
bottle warming chamber. The unit should be cleaned out once a
month to avoid this buildup. See decalcification section in Cleaning
and Maintenance, following. To help prevent/minimize this buildup,
fresh or purified water can be used.
Q: Why is the milk bottle/food jar too hot or too cold?
A: Because there are so many variables when warming bottles/food
jars, adjustments to the water amounts in the instruction booklet
may be necessary. If the bottle/food jar was too hot try adding less
water next time. If it was too cold try adding more water next time.
A: Make sure to shake the bottle/stir the food to distribute the heated
contents after warming before checking the temperature.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning accessories and base
• Clean all accessories in warm soapy water or on the top rack of the
dishwasher.
• Wipe the base clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immedi-
ately. Never submerge the base or the plug in water or other liquids.
Decalcification
• Sometimes mineral deposits form inside the steam chamber and can
cause damage to the machine. To avoid buildup of these minerals,
the unit should be de-scaled once a month.
• To descale, pour 50 ml of white (distilled) vinegar into the steam
chamber. Leave for at least 2 hours then empty.
Storage
• The Cuisinart Baby
® Bottle Warmer stores neatly on the countertop,
taking a minimum of space. When it is not in use, make sure to
empty any leftover water from the unit and leave it unplugged. The
hidden cord storage underneath the base will help keep excess cord
off the countertop.
• The Cuisinart Baby ® Bottle Warmer is intended for HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY. Any service other than cleaning and normal user main-
tenance should be performed by an authorized Cuisinart Service
Representative.
