## Description

The Philips Avent SCF281/05 Microwave Steam Sterilizer kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria in just 2 minutes. It operates at a higher temperature than dishwashers, using the power of the microwave oven to create natural steam. Measuring just 6.5 by 11 inches, it is small enough to fit in most microwave ovens. Its compact, lightweight design makes it ideal for use when traveling. Safety clips keep the lid securely fastened to the base, and side grips stay cooler than the rest of the sterilizer for safe handling in and out of the microwave. At full capacity, the Microwave Steam Sterilizer holds up to four 9 ounce or two 11 ounce Philips Avent bottles. An interior rack can also hold two Philips Avent breast pumps (non-electrical parts only) and up to four breast milk storage cups with lids. You can also use it to sterilize pacifiers, non-metal utensils and other microwave-safe baby items. If the lid is unopened, contents will remain sterile and ready for their next use for up to 24 hours. The Philips Avent Microwave Steam Sterilizer is BPA free.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to sterilize other bottles like the medela baby bottles?**
A: It seems like anything you can fit inside the container would be able to be sterilized.

**Q: Can this be used with stainless steel bottles?**
A: Metal can go in the microwave, it's very thin metal that can't (think tinfoil, or plates with tiny bits of metal). The inside of your microwave is actually surrounded by a big sheet of metal. Metal causes the waves in the microwave to bounce off of it, keeping them inside of the microwave and heating up the food. If you put a stainless steel pan filled with water with a cover inside the microwave and turn it on, nothing is going to blow up, but the water will not heat up either. The stainless steel will just cause the waves to bounce off of it.

**Q: this sterilizer comes with bottles?**
A: No it does not.

**Q: Can I use the bottles right after I sterilize them since they don't come out dry?**
A: I am not sure. But I personally use them wet. Cause now the water is sterile to.
