Using the Philips AVENT breast pump

Disassemble the breast pump before using it for the first time and after each use, clean and disinfect all parts that come into contact with breast milk. Fully charge the device before first use or after a long period of inactivity. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth soaked in water and a mild cleaning agent.

Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners to clean the breast pump as they can cause damage. Never immerse the motor or adapter in water or put it in the dishwasher, as this will irreparably damage the components. Be careful when removing the white valve and cleaning it. If it is damaged, the extractor will not work properly. To remove the white valve, gently pull the knurled tab on the side of the valve. Clean the white valve by gently rubbing it between your fingers in warm water with added dishwashing liquid. Do not insert objects into the white valve, it could be damaged.

Manual cleaning:
Step 1: Wash all components under lukewarm running water.
Step 2: Soak all parts for 5 minutes in warm water with a little dishwashing liquid.
Step 3: Clean all parts with a soft brush.
Step 4: Thoroughly rinse all parts under potable running water.
Step 5: Leave all components on a clean wipe or drip-dry in the air.

Cleaning in the dishwasher:
Step 1: Place all components in the top basket washer.
Step 2: Add the detergent or tablet to the dishwasher and start a running programme.
Step 3: Leave all components on a clean wipe or drip-dry in the air.

During disinfection with boiling water, do not allow the bottle and other parts to touch the side of the pot. Irreversible product deformation or damage could occur.

Insert size:
The Philips Avent Premium single or double breast pump includes a soft massage insert. It gently stimulates the nipple to get the milk flowing. The insert is made of flexible silicone, which fits up to 99.98% of women, nipple size up to 30 mm.

Assembling the breast pump:
Make sure that you have cleaned and disinfected all parts of the breast pump that come into contact with breast milk. If you have disinfected the pump parts by boiling, be careful, they can get really hot. To avoid burns, start assembling the extractor only when the disinfected parts have cooled down. Before touching the breast pump and breast parts, wash your hands thoroughly with soapy water to prevent contamination. If possible, do not touch the inside of the containers. Before use, check that the extractor components are not worn or damaged. Replace them if necessary.

Step 1: Wash your hands properly with soap and water.
Step 2: Insert the white valve into the body of the suction hood.
Step 3: Screw the body of the breast pump onto the bottle.4. Insert the liner into the body of the breastmilk pump and make sure that the edge fits over the body of the pump.
Step 4: Press the inner part of the insert into the funnel of the counter line (marked with an arrow).
Step 5: Insert the silicone diaphragm into the body of the breast pump. Press the silicone diaphragm down with your fingers so that it seals perfectly around the edge of the breast pump.
Step 6: A silicone tube and cap are attached to the silicone diaphragm. Push the cap in until it clicks firmly into place.
Step 7: Hoses connected to the motor unit.
Step 8: When the extractor is plugged in, you can use it without the cable. Press and hold the on/off button until the device turns on.
