How to clean my Philips Avent sterilizer?

Published on 23 June 2025

Keeping your Philips Avent sterilizer clean is not only good for hygiene reasons, but also improves your sterilizer's lifespan.

Step-by-step instruction

  1. Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before you clean it.
  2. Clean the base with a moist cloth to avoid scratching it.
  3. The baskets and the lid can be cleaned in hot water with some liquid soap.

 

Note:

  • The sterilizer is not dishwasher-safe.
  • Never immerse the base, the mains cord or the mains plug in water or any other liquid.
  • Avoid pouring cold water on the heating plate immediately after use, as it can cause cracking due to the rapid cooling of the non-stick coating.
  • Do not use scouring pads, abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the appliance.
  • After cleaning, store the sterilizer in a clean, dry place.
