In boiling water
• Place all the individual parts in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
Use a clean pot and
distilled water
.
Plastic will melt if it comes into contact with the hot base of the pot. Therefore,
make sure there is plenty of water in the pot. This way you will avoid damaging
the components.
• You can remove excess water more quickly by shaking all parts.
Using a standard thermal disinfector for baby bottles (not a microwave
oven)
For effective disinfection, use a disinfector with a runtime of at least 6 minutes. Re-
garding disinfection, the duration of the disinfection procedure and the quantity of wa-
ter required for this, follow the instructions for use of the disinfector you are using.
CAUTION
Inadequate disinfection encourages the growth of bacteria and thus increases the
risk of infection
. Thorough disinfection has not been completed until the disin-
fector automatically switches itself off, or the minimum disinfection time specified in
the instructions for use of the disinfector has elapsed. Therefore, do not switch the
device off prematurely. Also make sure that the disinfector is kept clean and regu-
larly check that it is in good working order.
Chemical cleaning with disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection can be carried out in a single cycle using a chemical
preparation process. For this, use the cleaning disinfecting agent Bomix
®
plus.
To ensure safety when handling chemicals, follow the instructions for use of the disin-
fecting agent, particularly the accompanying safety instructions.
CAUTION
Inadequate disinfection encourages the growth of bacteria and thus increases the
risk of infection
. Adequate cleaning with disinfection can only be assured if the
specified mixing ratio and application time are adhered to, and if all individual parts
are completely immersed in the solution for the entire application time. There must
not be any air pockets or bubbles.
• Prepare a 2% solution of Bomix
®
plus by
mixing 10 ml of the concentrate with 500 ml
tap water.
• Place all the individual parts in the pre-
pared solution and leave them to soak for
5 min.
If the application period is exceeded significantly, the plastic parts may take on
the smell of the disinfectant.
