Warnings to avoid contamination and to ensure hygiene:
-
For hygienic reasons, the breast pump is only intended for repeated use by a
single user.
-
Clean and disinfect all parts before first use and after each use.
-
Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the breast
pump parts as this may cause damage.
-
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before you touch breast
pump parts and breasts to prevent contamination. Avoid touching the inside
of containers or lids.
Warnings to avoid breast and nipple problems including pain:

Always release the handle before you remove the pump body from your
breast in order to release the vacuum.
-
If the vacuum is uncomfortable or causes pain, stop pumping and remove
the breast pump from your breast.
-
Do not continue pumping for more than five minutes at a time if you do not
succeed in expressing any milk. Try to express at another time during the day.
-
If the process becomes very uncomfortable or painful, stop using the pump
and consult your healthcare professional.
-
Only use accessories and parts recommended by Philips Avent.
-
No modification of the breast pump is allowed.
Warning:
If you are infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or
Hepatitis B or C, using the breast pump will not reduce or remove the risk of
transmitting the virus to your baby through breast milk.
Caution
Caution to prevent damage to and malfunctioning of the breast pump:
-
Keep the parts away from heated surfaces to avoid deformation of these parts.
Preparing for use
Disassemble, clean and disinfect all parts before you use the breast pump
for the first time and after every use.
Caution: Be careful when you remove and clean the white valve. Do not
insert objects into the white valve, as this may cause damage.
Cleaning and disinfecting
Step 1: Disassembling
Disassemble the breast pump and bottle completely. Also remove the white
valve from the pump body and the stem from the silicone diaphragm.
Step 2: Cleaning
The parts can be cleaned manually or in the dishwasher.
Step 2A: Manual cleaning
1
Rinse all parts under a running tap with lukewarm water.
2
Clean all parts with a cleaning brush in warm water with some mild
dishwashing liquid.
3
Thoroughly rinse all parts under a running tap with cold clear water.
4
Leave all parts to air-dry on a clean tea towel or drying rack.
Step 2B: Cleaning in the dishwasher
Note: Food colorings may discolor parts.
1
Place all parts on the top rack of the dishwasher.
2
Put dishwashing liquid or a tablet in the machine and run a standard program.
3
Leave all parts to air-dry on a clean tea towel or drying rack.
Step 3: Disinfecting
Caution: During disinfection with boiling water, prevent the bottle or
other parts from touching the side of the pot. This can cause irreversible
product deformation or damage that Philips cannot be held liable for.
1
Fill a household pot with enough water to cover all parts and place all parts
in the pot. Let the water boil for 5 minutes. Make sure the parts do not touch
the side of the pot.
2
Allow the water to cool down.
3
Gently remove the parts from the water. Place the parts on a clean surface,
tea towel or drying rack to air-dry.
Assembling the breast pump
Make sure you have cleaned and disinfected the parts of the breast pump
that come into contact with milk.
Warning: Be careful, when you have disinfected the breast pump
parts by boiling them, they can be very hot. To prevent burns, only start
assembling the breast pump when disinfected parts have cooled down.
Check the breast pump kit parts for wear or damage before use and replace
them if necessary.
Note: Correct placement of the cushion and the silicone diaphragm is
essential for the breast pump to form a proper vacuum.
1
Insert the white valve into the pump body from underneath. Push the valve
in as far as possible (Fig. 2).
2
Screw the pump body clockwise onto the bottle (Fig. 3) or storage cup (Fig. 4)
until it is securely fixed.
Note: If you use a storage cup, you have to screw the adapter for cup onto
the storage cup first (Fig. 4).
3
Push the stem into the silicone diaphragm fully to the end (Fig. 5).
4
Insert the silicone diaphragm into the pump body from above. Make sure it
fits securely around the rim by pressing down with your fingers to ensure a
perfect seal (Fig. 6).
5
Attach the handle onto the diaphragm with stem by hooking the hole in the
handle over the end of the stem. Push down the handle onto the pump body
until it clicks into place (Fig. 7).
6
Place the cushion into the pump body (Fig. 8) and make sure that the rim
covers the pump body. Push the inner part of the cushion into the funnel.
Make sure that you push the cushion inwards completely, up to the line
indicated with an arrow on the pump body (Fig. 9).
Note: Place the cushion cover (SCF430/10, SCF430/13, SCF430/15) over the
cushion to keep the breast pump clean while you prepare for expressing.
Using the breast pump
Warning: Always use the breast pump with the cushion.
Note: Contact your healthcare professional in case of questions or if you
experience side effects.
Operating the breast pump
1
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and make sure that your
breast is clean.
2
Press the assembled pump body against your breast. Make sure that your
nipple is centered, so that the cushion creates an airtight seal.
