Tommee Tippee Advanced Steam Electric Steriliser for Baby Bottles, 99.9% of Bacteria, 5-Minute Sterilisation Cycle

Product Information

NOTE – It’s vitally important to regularly descale your steriliser to avoid operating issues and damage to the heat plate, which is in the base of the machine. If you don’t remove the lid after the cycle has finished, the contents will remain sterile for 24 hours, which is useful if you don’t need to feed again immediately.

The extra care is evident right from the beginning – an in-depth instruction manual includes pictures to help you through assembly and use, as well as descaling advice for different water compositions and instructions for safe disposal and recycling once you’re done with the product.Clean your baby's bottles and protect their developing immune system with the help of our steam and UV sterilising units.

It’s vitally important to regularly descale your steriliser to avoid operating issues and damage to the heat plate, which is in the base of the machine. There are two simple options. You could use a specially designed descaling product which is suitable for an electric steam steriliser or you could use white vinegar (ideally not the stuff you use on your chips!). If you choose a specialist product, it should come with instructions; if you choose white vinegar, here’s what to do: In general, if you notice marks on the base of the machine, you should descale it to keep it working as it should.The teat tongs are included with the steriliser so that you can safely remove freshly sterilised items without touching them with your fingers and potentially contaminating them. You can remove the teats with the teat tongs and then use the screw ring to re-assemble with the bottle. If you haven’t been using a water softener, cleaning chemicals or sterilisation solutions, then it sounds like there may be or has been an excessive amount of limescale build-up, which has damaged the heat plate. If you haven’t already descaled your machine, it’s still worth doing this, as once the limescale is clear, you can see the extent of the holes (we call this pitting). De-scaling removes the limescale that can build up around the heat plate, just as it can inside a kettle. Descaling regularly helps your steriliser enjoy a long and happy life, with no bits fading before their time. The unit doesn’t seem to attract much dirt or dust and can easily be wiped down if it gets splashed.
