The Philips Avent SCF291/01 Advanced Bottle Steriliser uses the power of pure steam to process compatible feeding equipment without chemical additives. It is designed for up to six bottles with their accessories and completes a cycle in about ten minutes, after which it switches off automatically.
Practical Design for Daily Feeding Equipment
The adjustable arrangement can be reduced for smaller items such as compatible soothers or expanded for a larger bottle load. A separate drip tray protects the heating plate from milk droplets, helping reduce deposits and unwanted odours. When the lid stays closed after a completed cycle, Philips states that the contents can remain sterile for up to 24 hours.
Key Benefits
- Processes up to six bottles and accessories in one cycle.
- Completes sterilising in approximately ten minutes.
- Uses steam rather than added sterilising chemicals.
- Automatically switches off for straightforward operation.
- Adapts to different loads while keeping a relatively slim footprint.

- Operate on a stable, dry, heat-resistant surface with free space above and around the steriliser.
- Keep away from children during use. Allow hot steam, the unit and its contents to cool before opening or handling.
