Instructions to sterilise your Philips Avent bottle and teat
Sterilising by boiling
- Disassemble the bottle, screw ring, AirFree vent insert (if applicable) and teat.
- Put the parts in a household pot and pour plenty of cold or lukewarm water into it. Never not put a cold GLASS bottle into hot water, as this could damage it.
- Bring the water to the boil.
- Boil for 5 minutes. Make sure that the parts do not touch the side of the pot. This prevents deformation and damage.
- After sterilising, wait for the parts to cool down.
