3. Cleaning and sterilisation
Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time
before use:
Separate all parts, then wash in the dishwasher or in warm soapy
water and rinse. Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/detergents.
Caution: Take care when cleaning the white valve.
If it gets damaged, your breast pump will not function
properly. To clean the white valve, rub it gently
between your fingers in warm soapy water. Do not
insert objects as this may cause damage.
Sterilise all parts in a Philips AVENT steam steriliser, or by boiling
for 5 minutes. If using a Philips AVENT steam steriliser, the pump
will remain sterile in the steriliser for a minimum of 6 hours,
provided the lid is not removed.
4.
Keeping your breast pump sterile for travel
After sterilising all parts, insert the white valve (g) and fit the
diaphragm with stem (d) onto the pump body (f). Clip the cover
(a) over the funnel and Let-down Massage Cushion (b) and screw
on the sealing base (m) in place of the Philips AVENT feeding bottle (h)
.

6. How to assemble the manual
breast pump
Separate all parts and ensure pump has been cleaned
and sterilised as in section 3:
1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Insert the white valve (g) into the
pump body (f) from underneath
.
2)
Place the pump body (f) onto the Philips AVENT feeding bottle (h).*
3)
Twist gently clockwise until secure. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
4)
Place the silicone diaphragm and stem (d) into the pump body (f). Make
sure it fits securely around the rim by pressing down with your fingers
to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled whilst wet).
5)
Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the silicone diaphragm
and stem (d) and push down gently on the handle until it clicks
into place.
6)
Carefully insert the Let-down Massage Cushion (b) into the pump
funnel (f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of the
funnel. (This is easier if assembled whilst wet).
7)
Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump
completely stable insert the bottle into the stand (i).
*ALWAYS insert the adaptor ring when using a polypropylene bottle
7. When to express milk
1) If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are
well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless told
otherwise by your health professional or breastfeeding advisor.
