Just a few more steps until LIINI® 2.0 makes your everyday life as a mom and dad easier

Check scope of delivery

Congratulations on the purchase of your bottle warmer. All bottle warmers have sealed packaging, as it is a hygienic product. We attach great importance to appropriate hygiene standards – therefore, please check immediately after receiving the package whether the packaging seals are not broken. The scope of delivery includes:

LIINI® 2.0 Bottle warmer
USB-C cable (without adapter)
Dust cover (bear ears)
Gasket for the heating plate (already inserted)

Fully load bottle warmer

Before first use, the bottle warmer should be fully charged with the supplied USB cable. Full charging takes about 2-3 hours and depends on the charging adapter used. We recommend a quick charging adapter for the charging process. You can use the adapter of your smartphone for this. Always make sure to use only appropriate adapters that have a CE marking.

During charging, 3 animated charging bars light up. If they do not light up after plugging in, check the power connection and try a different charging cable if necessary.

Cleaning before first use

Before first use, we recommend thorough cleaning of the heating area.

To do this, you can remove the inserted sealing ring with your fingers. Please refrain from using sharp objects – this may cause damage and corresponding leakage during use. In a next step, you can now clean the heating plate and the sealing ring with universal disinfectant wipes for babies without alcohol – this will eliminate 99% of all viruses and bacteria. We do not recommend sterilization in a boiling water bath, as wear is higher and deformation may occur.

You can find replacement seals in our store:

Order replacement gasket

Attach dust cover correctly

Follow the instructions below and watch the video to make sure you don’t lose the dust cover:

Put on the dust cover normally
Press in the center of the lid with your thumb to create a vacuum
Slightly lift the edge of the dust cover so that air escapes (audible on the video) and a vacuum is formed
Ensure correct fit

In the following application video, we show you how to correctly attach the dust cover:

Attach dust cover correctly

Step-by-step instructions

The baby bottle preparation explained step by step with pictures

1. Remove dust cover (bear ears)

The silicone cover (bear ears) protects the heating area of LIINI® 2.0 from dirt . The dust cover can be removed very easily and stored safely in the meantime. If desired, you can easily sterilize the dust cover in boiling water as needed. Never use alcohol-based disinfectant wipes for cleaning – this can lead to discoloration of the silicone.

For transport we also recommend our LIINI® transport and travel bag made of 100% cotton.

2. Disinfect the heating plate

Before each use, the stainless steel hot plate should be cleaned with a baby disinfectant wipe . Use appropriate products without alcohol and without fragrances .

You can leave the residual liquid from the disinfectant wipe to soak for 60 seconds and then wipe away the residue with a dry cloth.

When disinfecting, be careful not to touch the plastic housing of LIINI® – this could cause discoloration.

3. Check the sealing ring on the heating plate

Before each use, it must be checked whether the sealing ring is correctly installed on the heating plate . The sealing ring must be inserted according to the illustration – the two sealing lips must always be visible and must not point downwards.

For cleaning, the sealing ring can be easily removed and also cleaned with a disinfectant wipe on the way.

The sealing ring is a wearing part – you can find the corresponding replacement in our store:

Order replacement gasket

4. Check sealing ring in adapter

If your baby bottle does not require an adapter: Please continue with step 6.

All adapters have an additional inserted sealing ring, which keeps the connection between baby bottle and adapter tight.

During use, ensure that the sealing rings of the heating plate and any adapter are not interchanged during use.

The device is only 100 % tight if both sealing rings (heating plate and adapter) are used.

5. Screw adapter

When using the following baby bottles, a corresponding adapter is necessary:

The adapter can now be screwed hand-tight to the bottle warmer. Please make sure that the adapter does not tilt during screwing.

6. Add breast milk / water

For breast milk:

Pour the breast milk in the desired amount directly into the baby bottle.

For powdered milk / breast milk substitutes:

When using powder products, the mineral water from the bottle (or the boiled tap water) must now be filled into the baby bottle in the desired quantity. The milk powder is not yet added.

7. Screw with baby bottle

Now screw LIINI® 2.0 upside down to the baby bottle and hand-tighten.

We can guarantee 100% tightness of the bottle warmer. In case of liquid leakage, check if the sealing ring on the heating plate and adapter (if an adapter is used) are inserted correctly.

If both sealing rings are inserted and liquid continues to leak out, also check both sealing rings for cracks.

8. Select desired temperature

The bottle warmer is protected with a child lock (key lock) against unintentional starting of the device.

You can unlock the key lock by touching the touch area 3x quickly.

You can find a detailed video tutorial about the key lock here:

Unlock key lock

9. Automatic heating starts

For the warming-up process, it is important that the bottle warmer is placed on a parallel surface (e.g. table). This is the only way to ensure that the displayed temperature also corresponds to the effective temperature of the contents.

As soon as the temperature you have set (37°C / 40°C / 45°C / 50°C) is reached, the appliance beeps. The keep warm function now automatically keeps the baby bottle at drinking temperature until you switch off the device.

10. Add milk powder

If you are using LIINI in combination with breast milk, step 10 can be skipped.

Once the temperature is reached, the powdered milk can be added to the baby bottle. For this purpose, please observe the manufacturer’s quantity specifications and recommendations.

11. Bon appétit!

Now you can screw the teat onto your baby bottle.

The baby bottle is now ready for the hungry baby.

The LIINI® team wishes you a good appetite! 🙂

12. Put on bear ears correctly

After the final cleaning, the bear ears can be put back on.

There is a trick for this, so that they really stay on the bottle warmer:

Put on the dust cover normally
Press in with the center of the thumb to create a vacuum
Slightly lift the edge of the dust cover so that air escapes (audible on the video) and a vacuum is formed
Ensure correct fit

The correct cleaning of LIINI®

For the longevity of the device and the safety of you and your children!

Never put them in the dishwasher!

Improper handling can result in serious risks.

Therefore, please observe the following instructions to avoid danger:

No exposure to water: Immersing your bottle warmer in water or cleaning it under running water can lead to water damage. The product must also never be sterilized in a sterilizer! This poses serious risks such as short circuits and can irreparably damage the battery/rechargeable battery. Such damage is not only a risk for the appliance, but can also lead to fires, electric shocks or other accidents. If water enters the product, it must not be used under any circumstances!
Cleaning the heating area: Only use special cleaning cloths for baby products (available from specialist retailers) to clean the heating area.
Cleaning the housing: It is sufficient to clean the housing of the bottle warmer with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, you can also use a little washing-up liquid. Make sure that no water can penetrate the inside of the appliance. The electrical components and the battery are particularly sensitive to moisture.
Regular checks: Check your device regularly for signs of damage or corrosion. If you notice any abnormalities or if water has accidentally entered the device, stop using it and contact our customer service team immediately.

Lime on the hot plate

Over time, corresponding lime deposits will appear on the heating plate of LIINI® 2.0. Depending on the region of residence and the corresponding water hardness, these can be more or less pronounced.

For light deposits, you can get rid of the limescale with a Scotch-Brite® sponge.

Feel free to apply a little pressure to remove the lime. The slight scratches are completely normal and do not affect the function of the device, nor does it break the stainless steel heating plate.

For heavier deposits, you can leave some vinegar on overnight. Normally, the lime can then be easily removed the next day.

Sealing ring heating plate / sealing ring adapter

Important to note to prevent leakage.

Adapters have a separate seal!

All adapters have a separate seal, which sits in the adapter itself and prevents the leakage of liquid at the connection between baby bottle and adapter.

The sealing rings of the heating plate and the respective adapter must not be interchanged. In such a case, the bottle warmer would no longer be tight.

Replacement seals for the respective adapters can be found in our store:

LIINI® Adapter seal to be reordered

Gasket heating plate: installation direction

To ensure that LIINI® 2.0 is 100% leak-proof during heating and does not lose any liquid, the correct installation direction of the sealing ring on the heating plate is important.

The correct way to install the sealing ring is as shown in the figure.

The sealing ring for the heating plate is a wearing part which must be replaced regularly.

How long does the warm-up take?

Reference values for 37°C with different bottle contents

37°C Reference measurements

For our reference measurements, we chose a starting temperature of 25°C because LIINI® is particularly a gadget for on-the-go use. As a rule, bottled mineral water (appropriately labeled!), boiled water or breast milk (stored at room temperature) is used.

Please note that the heating time to the desired temperature may be longer or shorter due to different ambient temperatures, bottle size (small or large baby bottle), bottle material (glass or plastic), and initial temperature.

Heat output / battery level

The warming power of the device is directly related to the capacity of the battery – this means that at a lower battery level (e.g. 40%), it takes longer to warm up the baby bottle compared to a fully charged battery (e.g. 100%). The device intelligently distributes the remaining battery capacity to ensure complete heating of the baby bottle to drinking temperature in any case on the go – even when the battery level is low. This ensures that a complete meal can be fed to the baby at any time, without the device switching off in the middle of the heating process due to a lack of battery capacity.

We recommend that you always have a power bank with you on the road for emergencies.

Checking the temperature - correct method

Trust is good – control is better

Tolerances for heating temperatures

The various temperature levels of LIINI® 2.0 are checked with calibrated temperature measuring instruments and adjusted accordingly. Due to the following different variables, tolerances of up to +/- 2.5°C may occur in the warm-up temperature:

Bottle material (glass / plastic)
Ambient temperature
Water hardness
Breast milk consistency
Accuracy of your meter (follow manufacturer’s instructions)

Check temperature: This is the right way to do it

To create test conditions that are as comparable as possible, we recommend checking the temperature using the following procedure:

Measure immediately after the beep
The temperature must be taken exclusively from the center of the baby bottle
Under no circumstances should e.g. meat or other cheap measuring devices be used to verify the temperature. The devices are not suitable for measuring liquids!
We recommend a digital clinical thermometer for the measurement
Tolerances up to 2.5°C unavoidable and do not represent a product defect

How many baby bottles does my baby need?

Guidelines for your baby’s food intake.

Regular weighing is important

The amount of milk for your baby depends on your weight – that’s why your baby needs to be weighed regularly.

Within 24 hours doctors recommend 6-8 meals.

The basic formula for calculation is:

Baby's weight / 6 = daily amount of milk in mililiters

Example:

At a weight of 4200g, this gives a daily requirement of 700ml:

– 115ml per bottle for 6 meals
– 90ml per bottle for 8 meals
