Note for Extension CordA short supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used: the marked rating on the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

CAUTION:

Note: Bottle Genius will automatically shut OFF after 15 minutes of non-use after making a bottle.

To keep making this bottle, refill formula container within 5 minutes. Otherwise, you will need to start a fresh bottle. Refill formula, close lid and press dispense button.

To Refill: See instructions in Bottle Preparation, section 5, step 4.

Tip: We recommend refilling the Formula Container when you can see the Stirring Fan blades. This will prevent Bottle Genius from running out of formula powder during a bottle making.

Note: If you are switching to a different formula powder:(1) Remove and wash all formula dispensing parts. Reassemble when dry.(2) Check label on formula powder for grams per 2 fl. oz. bottle. If it is between 8.6 and 9.0 grams, you do not need to make any changes. If it does not fall within this range, go to section 8, page 11, for Custom Setup of formula powder dispensing.

Tip: We also recommend that you remove and clean the formula nozzle when refilling the formula powder. Some formulas may clog the nozzle. This is especially prevalent in humid weather.

The Bottle Genius will tell you when it has run too low on Formula Powder!

Note: After Baby stops feeding, discard any leftover formula mixture. Always hold the bottle when feeding Baby. Never prop the bottle up or leave baby to feed unsupervised.

Always check temperature of bottle contents before feeding baby.
