Sterilising medela mini electric

[trixymalixy]

Just bought one off ebay, but didn't come with instructions.

Can it be microwave sterilised?

Hi there,
You can actually print out instructions from the web. From www.medela.com site (couldn't see them on the .co.uk site). See link below.

The short answer is, that the instructions say no but I always did!. Just sterilise as you would normally ie. remember to put water in and don't do it for too long (unlike me )
Its very easy to lose the little white valve down the sink so keep an eye on it.
Spare parts can also be bought on ebay.

Suitable for all forms of sterilisation. I've certainly doen it in the microwave with no problems.

Instructions say no but I contacted Medela and they said it was fine.

i sterilised mine in the microwave too with no trouble.
lovely little pump!!!

Thanks everyone!!

I'm glad it can be microwave sterilised as it would be a pain to have to boil it.
