User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use the bottles right after I sterilize them since they don't come out dry
Answer:	Yes! I put all of the parts in it weekly - everything from the bottle to the shields. Just wash them first with soap and water and then pile them in! The bottles fit in the bottom section like a regular bottle.
Question:	this sterilizer comes with bottles
Answer:	This model is 110V. But I'm sure you can search for a 220v. So this definitely won't work on 220v
Question:	Can this be used with stainless steel bottles
Answer:	6
Question:	Can this be used to sterilize other bottles like the medela baby bottles
Answer:	This isn't a dishwasher....just a sterlizer. So definitely clean the bottles first and then put them in the sterlizer.

The Philips Avent Fast Baby Bottle Warmer SCF358/00 makes mealtime more comfortable for baby. It gently heats a 5 ounce bottle in as few as 3 minutes. Milk circulates continuously while it's warming, so the warmer - unlike a microwave - won't cause hot spots.

It also keeps milk warmed to the desired temperature for up to 60 minutes. After 60 minutes it automatically shuts off to prevent overheating, giving you peace of mind if you get distracted or fall asleep after a late night feeding. The front panel is intuitive and easy to read with clear guidance on setting by milk volume for accurate results. A progress light lights up in three segments, indicating the warming progress and when milk is ready. The warmer is compact so it's easy to store on a kitchen counter or bedside table for nighttime feedings. Always test milk or food temperature before giving to babies. Warms 5 ounces of milk in 3 minutes. Voltage: 120 - 127 volts, ~60 Hertz. The Philips Avent SCF281/05 Microwave Steam Sterilizer kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria in just 2 minutes.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the Medela parts fit in this sterilizer

Question:	wil it work on a 220-240V
Answer:	Hi there, the nipple hole also doubles as a pouring hole!
Question:	Can the dr brown's wide neck bottles fit? If so how many

Question:	This may sound like a silly ?. But do u clean the bottles first and then put in sterilizer? Or direct to sterilizer
Answer:	It holds up to 4oz but I usually empty it before then because I'm constantly moving around and I can feel it splashing around in there
