Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Using the wrong type of bottle

Reason: The warmer is designed for specific bottle types and materials. Using incompatible bottles can lead to uneven heating or damage to the bottle.
Solution: Ensure you are using a bottle compatible with the Munchkin's Feed Bottle Warmer as specified in the instruction manual.

2. Overfilling the water reservoir

Reason: Overfilling can cause spills and potentially damage the warmer's electrical components.
Solution: Always fill the water reservoir to the maximum fill line indicated on the warmer.

3. Ignoring the heating time recommendations

Reason: Heating for too short a time may not sufficiently warm the milk, while heating for too long could overheat and burn the milk.
Solution: Always follow the recommended heating time based on the amount of milk and desired temperature.
