The milk from my Philips Avent fast bottle warmer is too hot or cold
Water level or setting
In most cases, filling your bottle warmer with water to slightly above the level of the milk in the bottle is sufficient. When warming a large amount of milk, fill the bottle warmer to 1 cm (0.4 in) below the rim.
Setting up the bottle warmer
Adding the bottle after switching on the device will alter the final milk temperature.
Bottle type
The recommended heating times provided with your Philips Avent fast bottle warmer are based on polypropylene bottles. Glass bottles may heat more quickly, while silicone bottles heat more slowly.
When using a silicone bottle, allow it to warm for 3–4 additional minutes after the warming cycle.
Glass bottles may heat more quickly due to heat transferring faster. Use a lower setting when warming milk in a glass bottle. Refer to the table below for the setting to use when warming a glass bottle.
