Sterilisers

How to use a Microwave Advent Bottle Sterilizer?

My sister just gave me an advent bottle sterilizer for the microwave and she didn't have the user guide with it. It looks pretty simple but I just want to make sure I use it correctly. It looks like i put 200ml of water in the bottom and then heat it in the microwave. But I have no idea how long to heat it. Anyone know? Thanks,

1. It depends on your microwave. I have one and I have the instructions right here. It goes by the wattage on the microwave 1100-1850W 2 minutes 850-1000w 4 minutes 500-800w 6 minutes And would need to give it 2 minutes for cooling time
2. You can get a copy of the Owner's Manual from Phillips Advent. Here is a link to the directions: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?qslg=on&mode=search&session=20081020082037_66.30.73.52&scy=US&ctn=SCF271%2F02&ds=SCF271%2F02&slg=AEN&searchtext=directions
3. It depends on the power of your microwave - I did mine for 6 minutes (it actually says 4 mins for the power of my oven - 1000w, but I didn't realise that until my DD was 9 months!- the power of sleepless nights eh!). You could also try looking up the manufacturers of your sterliser on the web. Hope this helps.
