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® 3.0 Bottle warmer
USB-C fabric cable white
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 a few minutes with the LIINI quick charge adapter (optionally available) takes approximately 90 minutes. Always make sure to use only appropriate adapters that have a CE marking.

Using a cheap charging adapter from the relevant China portals can be life-threatening and we strongly advise against it!

If you want to check the battery status during charging, you can briefly disconnect the bottle warmer from the power supply. The current battery level will then be displayed for 5 seconds.

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 the next step, you can now clean / disinfect the heating plate and the sealing ring. We recommend our LIINI® cleaning and disinfecting wipeswhich eliminate up to 99.9 % 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

Lid with screw cap

LIINI® 3.0 now has a plastic lid with a screw cap instead of the silicone lid of LIINI® 2.0.

Close the lid carefully and pay attention to the icons on the back of the bottle warmer. It is best to position the cover on the unlock icon and then turn the cover in the direction of the arrow to close the cover. Do not use force to protect the guides in the housing and keep wear to a minimum.

You can see the current battery status if you briefly disconnect the device from the power supply or remove the USB-C cable. The current battery level is then displayed for 5 seconds.

If your device is fully charged, the touchscreendisplays a”100″ for 5 minutes and then switches off automatically.

Protect USB port from moisture

The USB port of the device should be checked regularly for moisture – especially after cleaning.

We recommend that you blow out the USB port before each charging process to remove dust particles and residual moisture.

Step-by-step instructions

The baby bottle preparation explained step by step with pictures

1. Open the lid with the screw cap

The hard plastic lid protects the LIINI® 3.0 heating area from soiling. The lid can be easily removed and stored safely in the meantime.

Pay attention to the icons on the back of the bottle warmer when opening it. Turn the cover in the direction of the unlock icon to remove it.

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 . We recommend our LIINI® cleaning and disinfecting wipes.

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:

Screw the adapter hand-tight onto the bottle warmer.

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 the LIINI® 3.0 upside down to the baby bottle and tighten hand-tight.

We can guarantee 100% tightness of the bottle warmer. If you are leaking liquid, check whether the sealing ring on the heating plate (step 3) and adapter (step 4) are used correctly.

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

8. Switch on LIINI 3.0

The bottle warmer is equipped with child protection.

Start the bottle warmer by touching the power icon area for 3 seconds and keeping your finger on the icon. You only need to touch gently and not press.

Once the device has been successfully unlocked, the current battery status is displayed. You can now set the temperature by touching it once again during the battery status display (do not leave your finger on it).

9. set the desired drinking temperature

Now select the desired drinking temperature for your baby. You can choose from the following temperature levels:

37° C (breast milk)
40° C
45° C
50° C

When using pre-nutrition, follow the manufacturer’s instructions (see packaging).

The appliance now starts heating the baby bottle contents fully automatically.

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.

You can now separate the baby bottle from the bottle warmer and add the milk powder.

We recommend our LIINI® milk powder portioner for on the go.

Use circular movements to mix the powder ideally with the water. Avoid vigorous shaking, as this can lead to stomach ache in the baby.

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! 🙂

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. We recommend our LIINI® Cleaning and disinfecting wipes.
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 limescale deposits will appear on the LIINI® 3.0 heating plate. 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

The correct installation direction of the sealing ring on the heating plate is important to ensure that LIINI® 3.0 is 100% leak-proof during heating and does not lose any liquid.

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?

Ready to drink quickly

Reference values

The heating time to the desired drinking temperature depends on various factors:

Ambient temperature (winter / summer)
Drinking temperature (37° C – 50° C)
Initial temperature (refrigerator)
Bottle size
Bottle material (plastic / glass)

For this reason, we cannot give you any binding warm-up times.

Checking the temperature - correct method

Trust is good – control is better

Tolerances for heating temperatures

The different temperature levels of LIINI® 3.0 are checked with calibrated temperature measuring devices 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

Help - my device is no longer responding

The causes and solution to your problem

Cause 1: Protection against deep discharge

First things first: there’s nothing wrong with your device! 🙂

The bottle warmer has switched to protection mode to protect the device from damage to the battery and the printed circuit board (PCB).

This protection mode can be triggered by the following events:

1. Protection against deep discharge of the battery

Standby consumption: The bottle warmer has a standby switch that ensures that the appliance is activated as soon as the touch area is touched. This circuit requires minimal energy to respond to the input.
Electronic control: The control electronics that monitor the charging process or heating also require a small amount of power when switched off.

Cause 2: Overvoltage or undervoltage and fluctuations in the power grid

Overvoltage or undervoltage: The bottle warmer is designed for a specific input voltage. If the voltage is too high (overvoltage) or too low (undervoltage), the charging electronics or the battery may be damaged. Overvoltages can overload the circuits and cause irreparable damage, while undervoltages mean that the device either does not charge correctly or the charging time is significantly extended.
Unstable power supply: Fluctuations in the power grid can cause the charging electronics to continuously attempt to stabilize the voltage. This causes additional stress for the components and leads to inefficient use of energy, which can affect the service life of the battery and reduce the functionality of the device.

For this reason, it is crucial to only use high-quality charging adapters and the original charging cable for charging.

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
