Q: Why are the bottles coming out with
marks on them?
Storage
TIPS AND HINTS
The Cuisinart Baby® Electric Steam Sterilizer
stores neatly on the countertop in a minimum
of space. When it is not in use, make sure to
empty any leftover water from the unit and
leave it unplugged. The hidden cord storage
underneath the base will help keep excess
cord off the countertop.
The Cuisinart Baby® Electric Steam Sterilizer
is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Any
service other than cleaning and normal user
maintenance should be performed by an au-
thorized Cuisinart Service Representative.
For best results, use purified water to
minimize a buildup of calcium in the sterilizing
chamber.
A: This can happen when the sterilizer has a
buildup of calcium deposits. Refer to the
Decalcification section in Cleaning and
Maintenance, following.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Why is the sterilizing cycle taking so long?
Q: Why won’t sterilizing start when I turn
the unit on?
A: Too much water has been added to the
sterilizing chamber. Exactly 100mL of water
should be used each time to sterilize.
A: Check that the plug is securely inserted
into the outlet.
CLEANING AND
A: The sterilizing chamber may be empty.
Add water to the sterilizing chamber.
MAINTENANCE
Q: How do I empty the unit of excess
water?
Cleaning accessories and base
Clean all accessories in warm soapy water or
on the top rack of the dishwasher.
A: To empty the unit of excess water, tilt the
unit onto its side over the sink and any
extra water will come out.
Wipe the base clean with a damp sponge or
cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the
base or the plug in water or other liquids.
Q: Why is there a white residue in the ster-
ilizing chamber?
Decalcification
A: Mineral-rich water causes calcium depos-
its to build up in the sterilizing chamber.
The unit should be cleaned out once a
month to avoid this buildup. Refer to the
Decalcification section in Cleaning and
Maintenance, following. To help prevent/
minimize this buildup, fresh or purified
water can be used.
Sometimes mineral deposits form inside the
steam chamber that can cause damage to the
machine. To avoid buildup of these minerals,
the unit should be de-scaled once a month.
To descale, pour 1 cup of white (distilled) vin-
egar into the sterilizing chamber. Let it stand
for at least 2 hours and then empty. Rinse
the unit with water after you empty the unit of
the vinegar to ensure it is properly rinsed out.
Repeat if necessary.

Limited 3-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart
Baby® Electric Steam Sterilizer that was purchased at retail for personal, family or
household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not
available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your Cuisinart Baby® Electric Steam Sterilizer will be free of defects in
materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from
the date of original purchase.
to complete your product registration. However, product registration does not eliminate
the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain
the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the
purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.
Your Cuisinart Baby® Electric Steam Sterilizer has been manufactured to the strictest
specifications and has been designed for use only in 120-volt outlets and only with
authorized accessories and replacement parts. This warranty expressly excludes any
defects or damages caused by attempted use of this unit with a converter, as well as
use with accessories, replacement parts or repair service other than those authorized
by Cuisinart. This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse,
shipment or other than ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all incidental or
consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these
damages, so these exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have other rights,
which vary from state to state.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option
of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B)
to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store
shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to
an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less
the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If neither
of the above two options results in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer
may then take the product to an independent repair facility, if service or repair can be
economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the
reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming
products under warranty. California residents may also, according to their preference,
return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary,
replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and
handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.
Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone other than
Cuisinart’s Authorized Service Center, please remind the servicer to call our Consumer
Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed,
the product is serviced with the correct parts, and to ensure that the product is still
under warranty.
