Dispensing Water and Adding Formula

Select your desired water amount using the dial; I chose four ounces for this demonstration. Press the button to initiate the initial hot water dispensing. This hot water shot is crucial for sterilization and dissolving the formula. Once the hot water dispensing is complete, remove the bottle.

Mixing and Dispensing the Formula

Add the recommended amount of formula powder to the bottle (two scoops for a four-ounce bottle). Secure the bottle lid or pinch the nipple to prevent spills. Shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the formula dissolves completely. Replace the bottle on the stand and press the button again. The machine will now dispense the remaining water, mixing it with the formula.
