Philips AVENT Digital Bottle Warmer SCF260/34 SCF260/34 User Manual





milk from frozen, food from room temperature, food from chilled, and food from frozen. (See 

Display Guide if needed.)

 

N.B. Warming food jars or tins from frozen is NOT recommended. However, you can warm 

frozen food in VIA Cups within the warmer. 

N.B. Please ensure that the correct options are selected, as milk and food should not be heated 

for too long. 

5.  Select the amount of milk or food in the bottle or container by repeatedly pressing the Volume 

Selection/Start Button until the desired volume is illuminated (iv). If the desired amount is not 

shown on the display, please select the amount nearest to it. 

 

N.B. For volumes in grams, select the same amount in ml (e.g. for 85g select 85ml).

 

N.B. The maximum volume that may be selected when warming food from frozen is 230ml/8oz.

6.  Start the warming cycle (v): Once the desired settings are illuminated, hold down the Volume 

Selection/Start Button until the warmer beeps. The volume display will now flash ascending and 

descending lights up to the selected amount.  

7.  Completion of warming cycle (vi):  When the cycle is complete, the warmer will beep intermittently 

for 30 seconds and all the volume display lights will continuously flash for 3 minutes. You can 

remove the contents as soon as the warmer begins beeping. After 3 minutes, the warmer will 

beep 5 times and will turn off automatically. 

 

N.B. Philips AVENT recommends removing and using the contents immediately when the 

warming cycle is complete, even before the warmer automatically turns off.

8.  Open the lid carefully to avoid any residual steam. Be careful when opening the lid as steam can 

escape and cause injury. Use a cloth when removing the container, as it may be hot (vii). Use 

the lifter to raise small bottles, VIA Cups, small food jars or tins. Pull the lifter just above the 

circular rim. Rest the lifter on the rim where it naturally sits.

 

N.B. Do not remove the lifter from the warmer.

9.  Before feeding your baby: Always check feed temperature before feeding

  (a) Milk – shake the bottle or milk storage container and check the temperature of the milk  

by sprinkling a few drops on the back of your hand.

  (b) Food – stir the food thoroughly and test it yourself with a spoon to ensure it is not too hot. 

If food is not warm enough, consult the Troubleshooting Guide.

 

N.B. Please ensure the lid of the container is tightly secured prior to shaking.

10. Unplug at the mains, and empty any residual water (viii). Ensure that the plug does not come 

into contact with water. If warming an additional bottle or container, continue from step 1. 

Otherwise, clean the inside and outside of the warmer with a damp cloth (viii). To remove the 

lifter for cleaning purposes ONLY, lift vertically up until it naturally resists. Push the handle away 

from you and rotate 90º or until it can naturally be removed, then lift out.

 

N.B. For microbiological and hygienic reasons, once heated, milk and food should not be 

reheated again, and should be discarded if not used immediately. Please consult your health 

professional/breastfeeding adviser for further guidance about safety recommendations on feeding.

  N.B. If at any time the warmer is switched on and not running a cycle, it will automatically turn 

off after 3 minutes if no selections have been made.

Instructions for Use

1.  Ensure that the warmer is placed on a firm level surface. Open the lid using the front catch, and fill 

the warmer with the appropriate amount of water (i) – See page 2 to determine water amount. 

Place the fully assembled bottle (including dome cap to prevent overheating) or storage container 

with lid in the warmer. For food jars and tins, please refer to manufacturer’s instructions.

 

N.B. When warming a 330ml/11oz bottle, the lid flap will lift to accommodate the larger size. 

This will cause a small amount of steam to rise from the warmer.

  Close the lid ensuring that the front catch ‘clicks’ shut.
2.  Plug in the warmer and switch on at the mains.
3.  Switch on the warmer by holding the Power/Mode Selection Button for 3 seconds (ii). The 

warmer will beep, and the milk, room temperature and ml/oz symbols will illuminate. It is now 

ready for use. If the lid has not been closed correctly, the symbols will flash. When the unit is 

switched on, it automatically defaults to the milk/room temperature mode. If this is the mode 

you need, go to step 5. If not, proceed to step 4.

4.  Choose milk or food, and select the starting temperature (iii) by pressing the Power/Mode 

Selection Button repeatedly until the desired symbols are illuminated. 

  Please note that there are 6 possible options: milk from room temperature, milk from chilled,
