Dishwasher Basket (see diagram F)
1) The upper and lower baskets can be clipped together to hold small items such as teats, breast pump parts, soothers, etc for washing in the top rack of your dishwasher prior to sterilisation. 2) To clip together, align the two baskets so that the indicators are opposite each other and snap the baskets together. To open basket, pull apart with fingers using side recesses. Warning: If your Philips AVENT items are washed in the dishwasher with dirty items covered with remnants of strong sauces, such as tomato sauce, they may discolour over time.

Care of your steriliser

You should de-scale your steriliser every four weeks to ensure it continues to work 100% effectively. It may be advantageous to use pre-boiled or filtered water in your steriliser in order to reduce limescale build up. EITHER: 1) Mix one sachet of citric acid (10gms) with 200ml of water. Pour into the empty steriliser. Do not put lid on. Switch on for 1-2 minutes, i.e. do not run a full cycle. Switch off at mains and leave to stand for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse out the steriliser. Run a full cycle empty with the lid on, using exactly 90ml of water. Wipe out the steriliser. (Citric Acid is available from most chemists avoid contact with eyes as this may cause irritation. Keep out of reach of children.) OR: 2) Pour 100ml vinegar mixed with 200ml cold water into steriliser. Allow to stand in the unit until any limescale has dissolved. Empty the unit and rinse thoroughly.
