BEAR First Bites & Clean Bottles Bundle

The optimized wash cycle combines targeted water pressure and heat to loosen residue from hard-to-reach areas. For the best result, start the cycle soon after feeding and use the recommended amount of detergent.

• 360° coverage helps clean bottles, collars, and accessories.
• A dedicated rinse stage helps reduce detergent residue.
• Heavily dried-on milk may need a short pre-soak.

Use the standard cycle for routine loads. A simple daily workflow is:

1. Separate all removable parts.
2. Place components with openings facing the spray area.
3. Add detergent and select the standard cleaning cycle.
4. Allow parts to finish drying before removal.

Yes. Correct loading is the key to consistent coverage:

• Keep small parts in the accessory area.
• Do not nest cups, valves, or collars inside one another.
• Make sure spray paths are not blocked by larger items.

This setup gives narrow parts the best possible exposure to water and steam.

The system is designed for most standard baby bottles and feeding accessories that are marked safe for washing and steam exposure.

• Common glass and heat-safe plastic bottles
• Bottle collars, nipples, pacifiers, and pump parts
• Small accessories placed securely in the designated area

Always follow the accessory manufacturer's care label when it is more restrictive.

1. Disassemble every removable component.
2. Empty remaining liquid and give heavily soiled items a quick rinse.
3. Position openings downward and leave space between parts.
4. Check that no item blocks a spray outlet.

A properly spaced load improves both cleaning performance and drying.

Use a low-foaming detergent intended for the appliance and follow the recommended dose. Avoid hand-washing liquid because excess foam can reduce cleaning performance. More detergent is not always better.

The cycle uses controlled high-temperature steam after cleaning to treat exposed surfaces. When items are loaded correctly and the full cycle finishes, it provides an efficient clean-and-sterilize workflow without a separate pot or sterilizer.

Do not place an item in the sterilization cycle unless its manufacturer confirms that it is heat and steam safe. This commonly includes checking:

• Temperature limits on plastic components
• Electronics, insulated parts, and sealed assemblies
• Natural rubber or specialty materials with lower heat tolerance

1. Wait until the complete cycle and cool-down stage have ended.
2. Open the lid carefully and keep hands away from escaping steam.
3. Use clean, dry hands or tongs for sterilized parts.

Surfaces may remain hot, so allow additional cooling time when needed.

Descaling frequency depends on water hardness and usage. As a practical starting point, inspect the heating area every 2–4 weeks and descale when mineral buildup becomes visible.

1. Empty and cool the unit.
2. Use the approved descaling solution and dilution.
3. Run the recommended maintenance process.
4. Rinse thoroughly before the next bottle load.

• Rinse the filter after frequently soiled loads.
• Wipe seals and interior surfaces with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
• Check spray outlets for trapped particles.
• Keep vents clear and the exterior dry.

Regular care helps preserve water flow, heat efficiency, and cycle consistency.

Empty standing water, wipe accessible surfaces, and leave the lid slightly open until the interior is fully dry. Store the appliance upright in a ventilated area, away from direct heat. Complete drying is the simplest way to reduce unwanted odor between uses.
