You can clean your bottle warmer as necessary. Empty all of the remaining water from the unit and remove the water reservoir. Using a damp sponge or cloth and mild dish soap, wipe down the exterior and interior of the bottle warmer. The removable baskets on the unit can be placed in the dishwasher on the top shelf. You can also wash the baskets with warm soapy water. Allow the unit and baskets to air dry before reassembling.

De-Scaling

The bottle warmer needs to be de-scaled every four weeks to ensure that it continues to function properly.

Pour any of the remaining water out of the chamber and reservoir before de-scaling the bottle warmer.

Mix 2 ounces of white vinegar with 4 ounces of cold water in the water reservoir.

Run the appliance as you normally would with the vinegar mixture. Vinegar is a natural remedy to help reduce grease and acts as a mild disinfectant.
