The Tommee Tippee Ultra UV Steriliser and Dryer offers a chemical-free, fuss-free solution for sterilising and drying baby bottles and accessories. It's ideal for parents seeking a convenient and hygienic method, eliminating water, steam, and wet bottles. While highly effective at killing 99.9% of germs, users should note the different sterilisation times required for clear versus coloured bottles and the need for periodic filter maintenance.

The Tommee Tippee Ultra UV Steriliser is designed for daily, high-volume use in preparing baby feeding items. Its core function is to provide a sterile environment for up to six baby bottles, along with soothers and breast pump components. The unit performs exceptionally well by eliminating 99.9% of harmful micro-organisms through UV light, offering a significant advantage over traditional steam sterilisers by delivering dry, cool-to-touch items. For instance, you can sterilise and dry six bottles in approximately 60 minutes, or just sterilise clear bottles in as little as 10 minutes when time is of the essence.
The Storage Mode is a standout feature for real-world application. After a sterilisation cycle, you can keep items inside the unit, and it will run a short UV and drying program every two hours to maintain sterility. This means you can prepare bottles in advance and have them ready throughout the day or night, reducing stress during urgent feeds. For example, if you sterilise bottles in the evening, they will remain sterile and ready for use for up to 24 hours (if the door remains closed). The adjustable shelves allow for flexible loading, whether you're preparing standard bottles, wide-neck bottles, or a combination of breast pump parts and pacifiers. The integrated washable filter ensures that the air used for drying is clean, preventing re-contamination of sterilised items.
Unpack: Remove all packaging materials from the unit and its accessories. Ensure the spare filter is kept safe.
Placement: Place the steriliser on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Power Connection: Plug the steriliser into a suitable electrical outlet. The unit features intuitive touch controls and LED indicators for ease of use.
Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the filter is correctly inserted.
Bottles: Compatible with a wide range of branded baby bottles, including Tommee Tippee's own range.
Accessories: Suitable for sterilising soothers, breast pump components, and other small feeding accessories.
Adjustable Shelves: The unit includes adjustable shelves to accommodate different item sizes and configurations.
Filter Maintenance: The unit includes a replaceable and washable air filter. Regularly check and clean the filter to maintain drying efficiency and prevent dust build-up. Replace the filter periodically as needed.
Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior of the steriliser with a clean, damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water or use abrasive cleaning agents.
UV Lamp: The UV lamp is designed for long-term use. If you notice any issues with sterilisation efficacy over time, refer to troubleshooting or contact customer support. Do not attempt to replace the UV lamp yourself.
