How to Replace the Bottle Grate on Formula Pro Advanced

Quick Answer

To replace the bottle grate on your Formula Pro Advanced, remove the old grate, position the new one, and press down until it clicks. Always ensure the grate is fully seated before use.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Unplug the machine: Always unplug your Formula Pro Advanced before handling any parts to avoid electrical hazards. Check that the machine is completely powered off.
2. Remove the old bottle grate: Gently lift the existing grate from the drip tray. If it resists, wiggle it slightly to loosen. Do not force it, as this may damage the tray. Inspect the old grate for cracks or wear before discarding.
3. Clean the drip tray area: Wipe the drip tray with a damp cloth to remove any residue or debris. Ensure the area is dry before proceeding. A clean surface helps the new grate sit flush.
4. Position the new bottle grate: Align the new grate with the slots in the drip tray. Ensure the flat side faces up and the tabs align with the openings. Double-check alignment before pressing down.
5. Press down until it clicks: Firmly press the grate into place until you hear a click. This indicates it is securely seated. Test by gently tugging the grate—it should not move.
6. Test with a bottle: Place a bottle on the grate to ensure it sits level and stable. If it wobbles, remove and reinstall the grate. Run a quick empty cycle to confirm proper function.
