The Tommee Tippee Supersteam Electric Steam Steriliser delivers on its promise of speed and efficiency. In practical use, the 5-minute cycle is a significant time-saver, particularly for parents with multiple feedings throughout the day or night. You can quickly sterilize bottles between uses, ensuring a continuous supply of clean feeding equipment.
How it performs:
Speed: Once filled with water and loaded, the sterilizer rapidly heats up to produce steam, completing the cycle in the stated 5 minutes.
Effectiveness: The powerful steam effectively penetrates all surfaces, eliminating germs from bottles, teats, and bottle caps.
Convenience: Its fast cycle means less waiting time, allowing you to prepare for the next feeding without delay. For example, you can sterilize a fresh batch of bottles while your baby is napping or feeding with another bottle.
Tips for optimal use:
Always wash bottles and accessories thoroughly before placing them in the sterilizer to remove milk residue.
Arrange items to ensure steam can circulate freely around all surfaces.
Use the recommended amount of water for each cycle to ensure effective sterilization and prevent residue build-up.
For maximum hygiene, open the lid only when you are ready to use the sterilized items.
Unpack and Wash: Remove all packaging. Before first use, wash the main unit, lid, and basket components with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
Placement: Place the sterilizer on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from other appliances and out of reach of children.
Add Water: Pour the recommended amount of cold tap water into the base of the sterilizer. (Refer to your user manual for the exact measurement, typically around 80-100ml).
Load Items: Place clean bottles and accessories upside down into the designated slots in the baskets. Ensure teats and caps are separated.
Secure Lid: Place the lid securely on top of the sterilizer.
Power On: Plug the sterilizer into a suitable electrical outlet and switch it on. The sterilizer will automatically begin the cycle.
The Tommee Tippee Supersteam Steriliser is designed to accommodate Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles and most other major bottle brands. Its spacious design typically allows for a variety of bottle shapes and sizes, as well as breast pump parts, soothers, and small feeding accessories. Always check specific fitment if using non-Tommee Tippee items.
Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the unit to cool. Empty any remaining water and wipe the base and interior surfaces with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue or water marks.
Descaling: Limescale can build up on the heating element, especially in hard water areas, affecting performance.
Frequency: Descale every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you notice excessive limescale.
Method: Use a sterilizer descaler sachet or a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water. Pour the solution into the heating element, leave for a few hours (or as per descaler instructions), then empty and rinse thoroughly multiple times to remove all traces of descaler. Run a sterilization cycle with just water to purge any remaining residue before next use.
Storage: When not in use, ensure the sterilizer is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place.
