SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords
may be used if care is exercised.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of 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 tabletop, where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will t into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.

BABY’S READINESS
Every baby develops at his or her own pace,
but some common changes and behaviours
can indicate a readiness for solid foods.

food out with tongue
The rst solid food to introduce is cereal.
Start with rice, barley, or oatmeal when baby
is about 6 months. Once baby has been
successfully eating cereal, the next solid to
introduce is vegetables so the baby has a
chance to develop a taste for these before
getting a “sweet tooth” from fruit. Next,
introduce fruits, followed by meat and poultry.
GETTING STARTED
TIPS AND HINTS FOR BABY FOOD
The Baby Food Maker & Bottle Warmer is an
excellent tool for puréeing and steaming fruits
and vegetables. Blending the steaming liquid
right into the food allows for optimal nutrient
retention. We give a guide with water amounts
intended for the smoothest purées – adjust water
amounts if a thicker consistency is desired.
Introduce new foods one at a time. Serve
only that type of food for at least 3 days
before beginning another to be sure baby is
not allergic. Once baby has been introduced
to different foods, mix and match to make
great combinations. For example, oat cereal
and fruit, sweet potatoes and apple, or
chicken with carrots.
When introducing a new food, if baby doesn’t
accept it, and does not have any adverse
reaction, try again in a few days. Certain
foods should be avoided for a period of time
because of their highly allergenic properties.
Parents with history of allergies should be
extra cautious.
The following foods should be avoided until
after 12 months of age:
The following foods should be avoided until
after 24 months of age:
 •Peanuts/peanutbutter
 •Treenuts
 •Shellsh
Always use the freshest ingredients, organic
if possible. First stage baby food should
not be seasoned or sweetened.Save time
by preparing larger portions and freezing in
airtight containers. Never refreeze any food
that has been previously frozen.
Certain foods that can be a choking hazard
should also be avoided, including, but not
limited to, grapes, raw carrots, raisins (and
other small dry fruits), candy, hot dogs, pop-
corn, and large pieces of meat. Vegetables
that are high in nitrates, like spinach, turnips,
carrots, and beets, should be offered in lim-
ited quantities at a time. Baby will be ready
for nger foods when he or she has achieved
all the behaviors indicating a readiness for
solid foods, around 8 months. Additionally,
baby can transfer items from hand to hand,
has more constant chewing motion, and puts
“everything” into the mouth!
PREPARING THE FOOD
Size
Always cut large pieces of food into smaller
pieces of even size – about ½ inch (12mm)
to
a side. If you don’t start with pieces that are
small and uniform, you will not get an even chop.
Quantity
Do not overload the work bowl. Overloading
causes inconsistent results and it strains the
motor. Use the quantities given in the user
guide and capacity chart or recipe section
as a guide.
Adding Liquids
You can add water, breast milk or formula to
control the consistency of your baby food.

measuring cup from the Steam/Bottle Warming chamber.Tilt the
unit onto its left side over the sink and any extra water will come out.
2. Use the bottle warming side of the measuring cup and ll it with
water to the marked position that coincides with the amount of
milk being warmed (see chart below). Pour the pre-measured
amount of water from the measuring cup directly into the steam/
bottle warming chamber.
3. When warming a narrow bottle the adapter ring should be used
(see adapter ring instructions below). Do not use the adapter ring
with glass bottles.
4. Let the bottle sit for 15 to 30 seconds before removing and be
extremely careful removing the bottle from the unit. Shake the bottle

the bowl as you process. Stop the machine
to clear food away. AFTER THE BLADE HAS
STOPPED MOVING, remove the cover and
bowl lid and use the spatula to scrape the
food from the sides of the bowl back into the
center. Do not put hands into bowl unless unit
is unplugged.

Note: Due to the safety features of this product, the boiler area
has to cool down before it can be used again. When doing
consecutive cycles of bottle warming, to speed up the boiler
cooling process, pour 20 oz. (590 g) of cold water in the steam/
bottle warming chamber and allow to sit for two minutes. When
time is up, tilt the unit onto its left side over the sink and empty.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Why won’t steaming start when I turn the unit on?
A: Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
A: The steam/bottle warming chamber may be empty. Add water
to the steam chamber.
A: Cover is not closed completely. Press the release button on the
cover to open and then lower the cover again; press down rmly
to lock the unit.
Q: Why is steam coming out the back of the unit?
A: This may happen if the lid isn’t down tight enough. Turn the unit to
the OFF position and lift the cover. Press down rmly on the bowl
lid to ensure it is completely in place.
A: The hole on top of the steam blade or the bowl lid center may be
blocked by food. Carefully remove the blade from the bowl and
rinse it thoroughly. Check the opening on the top for any blockage,
then put back into the bowl.
Q: Why won’t the unit turn on immediately after steaming or to
warm a second bottle?
A: Due to the safety features of this product, the boiler area has to
cool down before it can be used again. To speed up the boiler
cooling process, pour 20 oz. (590 g) of cold water into the steam/
bottle warming chamber and allow to sit for two minutes. When the
time is up, tilt the unit onto its left side over the sink and empty.
Q: How do I empty the unit of excess water?
A: To empty the unit of excess water, open the cover and remove the
measuring cup from the steam/bottle warming chamber. Tilt the unit
onto its left side over the sink and any extra water will come out.
Q: Why are the work bowl seal and/or hub becoming discolored?
A:
This may happen when steaming and chopping colorful food like
carrots and beets and will not affect the performance of the unit.
To avoid this from happening or becoming more discolored make
sure to always clean the bowl and accessories immediately after use.
Q: Why won’t the motor start/blade won’t rotate?
A: Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
A: Unit Cover is not closed completely. Press the release button on
the cover to open and then lower the cover again; press down
rmly to lock the unit.
Q: Why is the food unevenly chopped?
A: Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces
are not small enough. Try cutting food into smaller pieces of even
size and processing a smaller amount per batch.
Q: Why is food collecting on the work bowl lid and/or sides of the
bowl or getting stuck on the blade?
A: You may be processing too much food. Turn machine off. When
blade stops rotating, remove the cover, then the bowl lid and clean
the bowl and lid with the spatula.
Q: Why did the unit stop during steaming?
A: The steam/bottle warming chamber may be empty. Add more
water to the steam chamber.
Q: Why is there a white residue coming out of the steam/bottle
warming chamber?
A: Mineral-rich water causes calcium deposits to build up in the
steam/bottle warming chamber. The unit should be cleaned out
once a month to avoid this buildup. See decalcication section in
Cleaning and Maintenance, next page. To help prevent/minimize
this buildup, fresh or puried water can be used.
Q: Why is the milk bottle too hot or too cold?
A: Because there are so many variables when warming bottles,
adjustments to the water amounts in the instruction booklet may
be necessary. If the bottle was too hot try adding less water next
time. If it was too cold try adding more water next time.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking
sheet with foil and lightly coat with nonstick
cooking spray.
Insert the steam blade into the work bowl.

shallow dish for dipping.
Prepare fingers by dipping first into coconut milk
and then rolling in the crushed chips.
Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning tray
