Note

• Indicated warming times are based on Philips Avent Natural and Anti-colic polypropylene bottles.

Be aware that warming times of Philips Avent Anti-colic with AirFree vent polypropylene bottles

and Natural glass bottles deviate from these indications. In addition to bottle type and material,

characteristics like thickness may also impact warming time. Therefore it may take less time to

warm a larger volume of milk.

• The milk may feel cool to you, but for a newborn baby its temperature is very pleasant.

Using the bottle warmer to warm baby food

1

Follow the same steps as indicated in the previous chapter�

2

Make sure to stir the baby food during warming as it does not circulate

automatically. Be careful not to burn your ngers when holding the container/jar

while stirring�

After warming test the baby food with a spoon to ensure it is not too hot. If the baby food

is not warm enough, put the container back into the bottle warmer and warm the baby

food until it has the desired temperature.

Note

• Due to the high variety of baby food consistencies, it is strongly recommended to continuously stir

and check while you are warming the baby food for an optimal result.

• Due to the high variety of baby food consistencies, it is not possible to indicate warming timings

for baby food.

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the

appliance. If you are unable to resolve the problem with the information below, contact the

Consumer Care Center in your country.

Problem Solution

The milk is too hot. You may have selected an incorrect setting or have left the

bottle in the bottle warmer longer than the time indicated in the

settings table.

Select the setting and check the time required to warm the

milk according to the “Express warming reference table”. After

the time indicated in the express warming reference table has

passed, take out the bottle immediately or turn the knob to

“Keep Warm” to keep the milk warm, otherwise the milk will be

overheated.

The milk is still cold. You may have selected an incorrect setting or have used a

silicone bottle.

Select the setting and check the time required to warm the milk

according to the “Express warming reference table”. After the time

indicated in the express warming reference table has passed, take

out the bottle immediately or turn the knob to “Keep Warm” to

keep the milk warm, otherwise the milk will be overheated.

If you are using a silicone bottle, after the time indicated in

the express warming reference table has passed, wait for

30-60seconds to ensure the milk is warm.

The bottle warmer

defrosts milk too

slowly.

The milk should never be defrosted at a high temperature

because it will lead to loss of nutrients. Due to the gentle

temperature at which the milk is being defrosted, it might take

longer time than expected to melt the milk.

The bottle warmer

stops working during

the warming process.

I cannot turn on the

bottle warmer.

The bottom of the bottle warmer may be blocked by the

limescale.

The bottle warmer should be descaled at least every four weeks.

See section “Descaling”.
