*Manufacturer's data.

The average heating time experienced in reality may vary slightly according to the conditions of use. Note: bottles and baby food are heated up by the steam produced by the boiling of the water.

The sizes and material (glass or plastic) of the bottle or jars of baby food as well as the type and quantity of the liquid to be heated have an effect on the final temperature of the contents. If you find that your bottles or jars of baby food are not warm enough at the end of the heating cycle, use a little more water next time. If, on the other hand they are too hot, you should reduce the amount of water used.

2/ Place the bottle (slightly open) in the tank (f).

For a jar of baby food (with its top removed) use the baby food tray (a).
