BABY’S READINESS

Every baby develops at his or her own pace, but some common changes and behaviors can indicate a readiness for solid foods.

Be on the lookout for:

• Baby holding up head

• Chewing motion

• Doubled birth weight

• Ability to sit in high chair

• Curiosity about food

(breast milk/formula) food out with tongue

The fi rst solid food to introduce is cereal.

Start with rice, barley, or oatmeal when baby is about 6 months. Once baby has been successfully eating cereal, the next solid to introduce is vegetables so the baby has a chance to develop a taste for these before getting a “sweet tooth” from fruit. Next, introduce fruits, followed by meat and poultry.

GETTING STARTED

TIPS AND HINTS FOR BABY FOOD

The Baby Food Maker & Bottle Warmer is an excellent tool for puréeing and steaming fruits and vegetables. Blending the steaming liquid right into the food allows for optimal nutrient retention. We give a guide with water amounts intended for the smoothest purées – adjust water amounts if a thicker consistency is desired.

Introduce new foods one at a time. Serve only that type of food for at least 3 days before beginning another to be sure baby is not allergic. Once baby has been introduced to different foods, mix and match to make great combinations. For example, oat cereal and fruit, sweet potatoes and apple, or chicken with carrots.

When introducing a new food, if baby doesn’t accept it, and does not have any adverse reaction, try again in a few days. Certain foods should be avoided for a period of time because of their highly allergenic properties.

Parents with history of allergies should be extra cautious.

The following foods should be avoided until after 12 months of age:

• Honey

• Corn

• Egg whites

• Wheat

• Soy

• Whole milk

• Raw berries

• Citrus

(or other highly acidic fruits)

The following foods should be avoided until after 24 months of age:

• Peanuts/peanut butter

• Tree nuts

• Shellfi sh

Always use the freshest ingredients, organic if possible. First stage baby food should not be seasoned or sweetened. Save time by preparing larger portions and freezing in airtight containers. Never refreeze any food that has been previously frozen.

Certain foods that can be a choking hazard should also be avoided, including, but not limited to, grapes, raw carrots, raisins (and other small dry fruits), candy, hot dogs, popcorn, and large pieces of meat. Vegetables that are high in nitrates, like spinach, turnips, carrots, and beets, should be offered in limited quantities at a time. Baby will be ready for fi nger foods when he or she has achieved all the behaviors indicating a readiness for solid foods, around 8 months. Additionally, baby can transfer items from hand to hand, has more constant chewing motion, and puts

“everything” into the mouth!

PREPARING THE FOOD

Size

Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size – about ½ inch (12mm) to a side. If you don’t start with pieces that are small and uniform, you will not get an even chop.

Quantity

Do not overload the work bowl. Overloading causes inconsistent results and it strains the motor. Use the quantities given in the user guide and capacity chart or recipe section as a guide.

Adding Liquids

You can add water, breast milk or formula to control the consistency of your baby food.

OPERATION

STEAMING FOOD

Removing Food from the Sides of the Bowl

Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process. Stop the machine to clear food away. AFTER THE BLADE HAS

STOPPED MOVING, remove the cover and bowl lid and use the spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the bowl back into the center. Do not put hands into bowl unless unit is unplugged.

NOTE: We recommend that you don’t run the unit continuously in

CHOP for more than 1 minute at a time. For the best results, allow for

20 to 30 seconds rest time between cycles.

BOTTLE WARMER

NOTE: These instructions are to be used as a guide only. Please note that there are many variables, such as size of the bottle and starting temperature of the food which can affect the speed as well as the fi nal temperature at which this unit warms the bottle or jar.

Adjustments to the instructions below may be necessary. Always test

the temperature of food before feeding baby.

1. Lift the cover of the unit and remove the measuring cup from the steam/bottle warming chamber. It is important to make sure

there is no water in chamber before bottle warming*.

* To empty the unit of excess water open the cover and remove the measuring cup from the Steam/Bottle Warming chamber. Tilt the unit onto its left side over the sink and any extra water will come out.

2. Use the bottle warming side of the measuring cup and fi ll it with water to the marked position that coincides with the amount of milk being warmed (see chart below). Pour the pre-measured amount of water from the measuring cup directly into the steam/bottle warming chamber.

When time is up, tilt the unit onto its left side over the sink and empty.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: Why won’t steaming start when I turn the unit on?

A: Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.

A: The steam/bottle warming chamber may be empty. Add water to the steam chamber.

A: Cover is not closed completely. Press the release button on the cover to open and then lower the cover again; press down fi rmly to lock the unit.

Q: Why is steam coming out the back of the unit?

A: This may happen if the lid isn’t down tight enough. Turn the unit to the OFF position and lift the cover. Press down fi rmly on the bowl lid to ensure it is completely in place.

A: The hole on top of the steam blade or the bowl lid center may be

8 blocked by food. Carefully remove the blade from the bowl and rinse it thoroughly. Check the opening on the top for any blockage, then put back into the bowl.

Q: Why won’t the unit turn on immediately after steaming or to warm a second bottle?

A: Due to the safety features of this product, the boiler area has to cool down before it can be used again. To speed up the boiler cooling process, pour 20 oz. of cold water into the steam/bottle warming chamber and allow to sit for two minutes. When the time is up, tilt the unit onto its left side over the sink and empty.

Q: How do I empty the unit of excess water?

A: To empty the unit of excess water, open the cover and remove the measuring cup from the steam/bottle warming chamber. Tilt the unit onto its left side over the sink and any extra water will come out.

Q: Why are the work bowl seal and/or hub becoming discolored?

A: This may happen when steaming and chopping colorful food like carrots and beets and will not affect the performance of the unit.

To avoid this from happening or becoming more discolored make sure to always clean the bowl and accessories immediately after use.

Q: Why won’t the motor start/blade won’t rotate?

A: Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.

A: Unit Cover is not closed completely. Press the release button on the cover to open and then lower the cover again; press down fi rmly to lock the unit.

Q: Why is the food unevenly chopped?

A: Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are not small enough. Try cutting food into smaller pieces of even size and processing a smaller amount per batch.

Q: Why is food collecting on the work bowl lid and/or sides of the bowl or getting stuck on the blade?

A: You may be processing too much food. Turn machine off. When

blade stops rotating, remove the cover, then the bowl lid and clean the bowl and lid with the spatula.

Q: Why did the unit stop during steaming?

A: The steam/bottle warming chamber may be empty. Add more water to the steam chamber.

Q: Why is there a white residue coming out of the steam/bottle warming chamber?

A: Mineral-rich water causes calcium deposits to build up in the steam/bottle warming chamber. The unit should be cleaned out once a month to avoid this buildup. See decalcifi cation section in

Cleaning and Maintenance, next page. To help prevent/minimize this buildup, fresh or purifi ed water can be used.

Q: Why is the milk bottle too hot or too cold?

A: Because there are so many variables when warming bottles, adjustments to the water amounts in the instruction booklet may be necessary. If the bottle was too hot try adding less water next time.

If it was too cold try adding more water next time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always make sure the appliance is unplugged before you start cleaning it.

Cleaning accessories and motor base

• Rinse the work bowl, bowl lid and steam blade immediately after each use so food won’t dry on them. All can be washed with warm soapy water or on the top rack of the dishwasher.

• Avoid leaving blade in soapy water where it may disappear from sight. Wash the blade carefully.

• If you have a dishwasher, you can wash the bowl lid, steam blade and spatula on the top rack.

• Insert the work bowl upside down and the cover right side up. You may put the steam blade and spatula in the cutlery basket. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid contact with the sharp blade.

• Wipe the motor base clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the motor base or the plug in water or other liquids.

Decalciﬁ cation

• Decalcifi cation refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time. These deposits can cause damage to the machine. To avoid buildup of calcium, the unit should be decalcifi ed once a month.

• To decalcify, pour a mixture of 100ml of water and 100 ml of white

(distilled) vinegar into the steam/bottle warming chamber. Leave for the night and then empty the next morning. Rinse the unit with water after you empty the unit of the water/vinegar mixture to ensure it is properly rinsed out.

Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
