Only place items in the Philips Avent steriliser that are suitable for sterilising, like Philips Avent bottles, teats, and breast pumps. Make sure to disassemble and clean all parts before placing them in your Philips Avent steriliser.
What products can I sterilise with my Philips Avent steriliser?
Published on 28 August 2026
How to place other items in the Philips Avent steriliser
- Make sure all items are completely disassembled.
- Place items in the basket with their openings pointing downwards, to prevent them from filling with water.
- Do not stack the items too closely together. The steam has to be able to circulate around the items to ensure effective sterilisation.
Products that are not suitable for the Philips Avent steriliser
Do not sterilize these items with your Philips Avent microwave steam sterilizer:
- Items that are filled with liquid (e.g. a teether with cooling fluid).
- Electric components from the Philips Avent breast pump.
- Metal products (e.g. the Philips Avent bottle brush).
- Parts that are not suitable for the microwave.
Do not sterilize these items with your Philips Avent electric steam sterilizer:
- Electric components from the Philips Avent breast pump
- Parts that are not suitable for sterilizing, as the electric steam sterilizer will reach temperatures of 100°C / 212°F
