If the food is administered immediately, switch off the bottle warmer by touching button until a long audible signal is emitted.

MAINTAINING THE TEMPERATURE

For the formula or baby food jar modes, if the device is not switched off the feeding bottle will be kept warm for up to 60 minutes, indicated by the countdown on the timer. Check the warmth at regular intervals, being careful not to scald yourself. Once 60 minutes have passed, the device will switch off automatically emitting an audible signal. CAUTION During the maintain temperature cycle, the milk temperature may exceed 37 °C. In this case, button will begin to blink and the timer (m) will alternate between the text “HI” (High) and the countdown. NOTE:

• It's best to consume milk and baby food immediately after heating.

• Milk and baby food should not be heated a second time outside of the single feeding/meal. If they have already been heated for a previous feeding/meal, they must be thrown away.

• Powdered milk that has been reconstituted in water at the right temperature 70 °C, (as specified on the packaging for the powdered milk) and chilled rapidly, can later be heated using the bottle warmer and consumed immediately.

• If the delayed start function is set, the maintain temperature cycle for formula will be disabled.

12. Disconnect the power cable plug (d) from the mains socket.

13. Remove the feeding bottle or baby food jar from the bottle warmer tank, and dry the bottle or jar thoroughly with a cloth to remove any residual water before administering the food to the baby. CAUTION

• The final temperature of the food may vary significantly depending on: the type of container used, the quantity to be heated, the consistency of the food and the starting temperature. When starting from the freezer temperature, in the event that the food is not hot enough after the heating cycle, start a new cycle.

• Before administering the food to the baby, always make sure that the temperature is not excessive by pouring a few drops on the inner part of your wrist. SPECIFICALLY

• For breast milk: do not shake feeding bottles with breast milk to avoid forming air bubbles inside. Immediate administra- tion, after thawing and warming, is recommended.

• For formula: Shake the feeding bottle for a few seconds to bring the milk to a uniform temperature and then check again.

• For baby food jars: Stir the contents of the jar to even out the temperature and taste to be sure it isn't too hot. MEMORY FUNCTION In the event of consecutive heating cycles, including for twins, consecutive heating cycles can be carried out. At the end of the first cycle, replace the warmed water with new water at room temperature. Immediately after the device switches on press button to start warming with the settings stored from the previous cycle. To guarantee the optimal temperature for administration, for some configurations the second cycle may end faster than the first. This is normal.
