Frequently Asked Questions - VapoMax 36010 Reer

How much water should be poured into the sterilizer?

Pour exactly 75 ml of tap water. Too little doesn't disinfect properly, too much unnecessarily lengthens the cycle.

How long does the disinfection cycle take?

The cycle lasts about 10 minutes. Steam appears after about 2 minutes and a countdown is displayed.

Why is the disinfection process too short?

Probably because the water level is too low. Make sure to pour exactly 75 ml of water.

Can I open the sterilizer during the cycle?

No, never remove the lid during operation. The appliance contains boiling water and hot steam can burn.

How to clean the sterilizer?

Unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool. Wipe with a cloth. The basket and gripping tongs can go in the dishwasher. Never immerse the appliance in water.

How to descale the sterilizer?

Descale regularly (every 4 weeks) with a citric acid-based descaler or diluted vinegar. Pour the solution, run a cycle, then rinse.

How long do the bottles remain sterile after the cycle?

With the lid closed, items remain sterile for about 3 hours. A countdown (3,2,1) is displayed.

What does the steam outlet turning red mean?

It's the HeatColour function: it indicates that hot steam is coming out. The appliance is very hot, do not touch.

Is the sterilizer chemical-free?

Yes, it only uses water steam to disinfect, without adding chemicals.

What to do if steam escapes under the lid?

Check that the lid is correctly positioned on the appliance.

VapoMax

We would like to thank you for choosing reer disinfecting equipment. This equipment disinfects baby bottles, bottle feeding accessories and breast-feeding products in an eco-friendly way and without chemical additives. Once the water added has evaporated, the equipment switches off automatically. If the cover remains closed, the items in the equipment remain disinfected for about 3 hours. Thanks to the small amount of water the disinfecting unit requires for hot steam disinfection and the automatic switch-off, only little power is needed. We are sure you and your family will enjoy the quality of our product for many years to come.

Operating instructions

Please rinse all parts to be disinfected before starting the process and remove any food residue.

The disinfection process lasts for about 10 minutes. As soon as the procedure starts, the water is heated. After approx. 2 minutes, vapour begins to form, starting the countdown on the digital display (8, 7...). If you have not added enough water, the disinfection procedure will be shorter (please add an amount of water that is as close as possible to 75 ml). The disinfecting unit switches off automatically once the disinfection process is completed. You can use the on/off button to switch VapoMax off, if needed. Please wait for 3 minutes before removing the cover so that the equipment can cool down. If you do not open the lid, the bottles and accessories will remain disinfected for about 3 hours. This is also indicated by the countdown timer (3, 2, 1).

• When placing items inside the unit, ensure that the steam can reach all surfaces and condensate can run off.
• Never start the equipment without water and do not transport it during operation. Never add any liquid other than drinking water to the container.
• Add 75 ml tap water to the equipment. Keep this amount as accurate as possible. If you add less than 75 ml of water, the disinfecting unit does not produce sufficient amounts of steam to disinfect all items with certainty. If you use more than 75 ml of water, the process is unnecessarily prolonged.
• Do not start the equipment without having placed the parts basket inside.
• Do not touch the equipment while in operation. The surfaces of the equipment become very hot during operation and may cause burns.

CAUTION! Hot surface!

• HeatColour function: the steam outlet becomes bright red while hot steam is emerging.
• Do not remove the cover during disinfection as the equipment contains boiling water. Beware steam escaping from the vents in the cover. Please do not obstruct the opening or place a cloth over the cover.
• Never open the equipment before the process is completed, as the items are then not disinfected.
• Pay attention when opening the disinfecting unit - hot steam escaping may cause burns.
• Bottles and other items are very hot directly after a hot steam disinfection and should only be removed using the bottle gripper that is included.
• Use the disinfected parts immediately after removing them, as otherwise they will have to be disinfected again.
• Some condensate always remains in the equipment. Pour the water out of the unit and dry all parts of the equipment. Caution - this remaining liquid may also be hot.
• The disinfecting unit requires about 15 minutes to cool down before it can be started again.

Cleaning

For reasons of hygiene and in order to keep lime deposits to a minimum, we recommend cleaning the disinfecting unit, bottle basket and cover with a cloth after every use. Always disconnect it from the mains and ensure that the equipment is cold before cleaning it. Do not immerse the unit in water. The bottle grid and small parts basket are dishwasher-safe. Do not use any scouring pads, scouring agents or solvents for cleaning; they might damage the equipment and its surfaces. If the equipment is not cleaned and dried after every use, lime deposits will occur on the heating plate at the bottom of the disinfecting unit after some time.

Descaling

The disinfecting unit must be descaled regularly, at least every month (more frequently in areas with very hard water) in order to guarantee proper functioning of the equipment. A heating plate that appears different from the outside with lime deposits or burnt-in milk residue does not constitute grounds for complaint. The warranty does not cover any damage occurring due to this. The heating plate of your disinfecting unit may be cleaned with traditional descaling products based on citric acid, e.g. using a reer fast bio-decalcifier sachet or normal diluted vinegar. Repeat the process in case of stubborn lime deposits. Please do not use chemical additives during operation or cleaning.

Environmental protection

At the end of its life, this product must not be disposed of as normal domestic waste, but should be recycled at a collection point for electrical appliances. Please see the relevant symbol on the product, in the user manual and packaging. An important contribution to the protection of the environment can be made by reusing the unit, recycling its components or otherwise reusing old appliances. Please contact your local council to find out more about an appropriate disposal centre.

Troubleshooting

Why does the disinfection process take so little time?

You may have added insufficient water to the equipment. The items may therefore not be disinfected with certainty.

Why does the disinfection process take so long?

You may have overfilled the equipment with water, or the heating plate is calcified.

Why does steam escape from under the cover?

Check whether the cover is placed properly on the equipment.

The disinfecting unit has stains when the disinfection process is completed.

Lime deposits have developed. Descale the disinfecting unit.
