water for cleaning.
• When cleaning the valves do not use small
objects such as brushes. Be careful not

Note
• Take care not to damage parts of the
breast pump kit during cleaning.
• Store the dry breast pump kit in a clean
bag/container until next use.
• Wash hands thoroughly.
• If you notice a white residue on your
breast pump parts after boiling, your
water may have a high mineral content.
Remove residue by wiping parts with a
clean cloth and allow to air dry.
• Distilled water is recommended when
boiling parts to prevent substantial
mineral build-up over time, which may
compromise your parts.
