Also here is a video from CFF about cleaning the cayston equipment, I havent watched it but I just saw it posted and thought it may answer a question or two.

Germ Guardian does NOT reach the temperature needed to sterilize. It's a 'dry' heat that needs to be sustained longer than it does to sufficiently kill germs, esp if stuff goes in wet. Avent reaches 212* and uses steam, a proven sterilization method.

Re. the youtube link: I recommend everyone watch it, whether you use the Altera or not. HOORAY!!! We finally got some input from the CFF from these bottle sterilizers! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> This really makes me happy... plug in (NOT microwave) bottle sterilizers like the Nuk (that is the one demonstrated) are what is recommended. Fortunately, it wasn't worded in a way excluding anything but Nuk- Avent is good too. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I am so glad to see that they have finally spoken on this!

I came here this morning hoping to find out this exact thing!
Awesome video and instructions. I just got my Altera and free NUK. So this is new territory for me.
Though I have to say, I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed by my new daily cleaning regimen here...
but gotta do what you gotta do I guess.
