Instructions for use
The AVENT iQ24
™
Electronic Steam Sterilizer is
one of a new generation of intelligent products
from AVENT – the most sophisticated steam
sterilizer you can buy and the easiest to use.
The AVENT iQ24 Sterilizer uses the intensive
heat of steam to kill most household germs
helping you sterilize your baby feeding
equipment as safely and quickly as possible.
There are two different modes for greater
convenience:
Mode 1 runs a single 6 minute sterilizing
cycle, then keeps the contents sterile for
6 hours, providing the lid is not removed.
Mode 2 keeps contents sterile for up to 24 hours
by continuously repeating the cycle, so you can
have clean, sterile bottles day and night.
As well as bottles and breastfeeding
accessories, you can sterilize any other
boilable items (please refer to the
manufacturers instructions regarding
sterilization).
Please take a few minutes to read through the
ENTIRE INSTRUCTION LEAFLET before using
your AVENT iQ24 Sterilizer for the first time.
PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
