3 Use your manual breast pump
Clean and sterilize
Before each use, clean and sterilize the pump.
•
To clean:
•
Disassemble all the components, wash them in warm soapy water, and
then rinse them thoroughly.
•
Never use abrasive, anti-bacterial cleaning agents, chemical solvents, or
excessive concentration of detergents.
• If necessary, clean the components with a Philips AVENT cleaning brush
sold separately.
• Take care when cleaning the valve. Rub it gently between your fingers in
warm soapy water. Do not insert objects as this may cause damage. If it
gets damaged, your breast pump does not function properly.
•
To sterilize:
• Sterilize all the components in a Philips AVENT electric or microwave
steam sterilizer. The pump remains sterile in the sterilizer for a minimum
of six hours, provided the lid is not removed. For details, see the
sterilizer user manual.
• Sterilize all the components in boiling water for five minutes. Make sure
that the components do not contact the container too long, to avoid
heat deformation.
•
If you use a sterilizing solution, do not leave the components in the
solution for longer than recommended.
•
Do not store the components in drying/sterilizing cabinets with heating
elements. (The maximum temperature of durance is 110°C.)
After each use, disassemble all the components, clean, and sterilize them as
instructed in this user manual, to ensure hygiene.
