- Make sure insert is installed and insert tray is properly seated in device.
- Place the container on the center of the tray in the device and close the lid; always use a lid on the milk storage container.
- Note the volume of milk to be warmed; you should use the proper size container in comparison to the volume of breast milk or supplement being warmed, because small amounts of breast milk or supplement in large containers can reduce warming efficiency.

- The device will automatically go into a holding cycle for up to 30 minutes. During the holding cycle, warm air that is maintained at body temperature will continue to circulate in the unit to ensure that the milk does not cool prior to feeding. The visual indicator will continue to flash green. The audible indicator (if not muted) will chime every 5 minutes until hold cycle time expires. Remove the milk before the hold cycle expires.
- For thaw, you should select “THAW” instead of “WARM” and the process will be same; when the thawing cycle is complete, the warming action will automatically shut off.
