How do I clean the food warmer properly?
After each use, unplug the warmer and let it cool completely. Empty any remaining water and wipe the inside with a soft, damp cloth. For the outer surface, use a mild detergent if needed, then dry thoroughly.
Avoid immersing the appliance, cord, or plug in water — the warmer is not dishwasher-safe.
Can I use any type of baby bottle or food jar in the warmer?
Yes — the Snookums Food Warmer is designed to fit most standard-size baby bottles and food jars. However, always check that the container is heat-resistant (glass or BPA-free plastic) and can stand upright inside the warmer. Avoid using narrow bottles that tip easily or non-baby-safe containers.
Can I leave the warmer switched on between feeds?
No. The warmer should be unplugged after each use and never left unattended. Continuous heating can cause overheating, water evaporation, or damage to the unit. Always allow it to cool before refilling or storing.
What should I do if limescale builds up inside?
If you notice white residue (limescale) forming inside, descale the warmer every 1–2 weeks:
- Mix equal parts white vinegar and water and fill the warming chamber.
- Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes.
- Empty and rinse well with clean water before using again.
Regular descaling keeps the warmer heating efficiently and extends its lifespan.
