Failure to follow the instructions/safety information below can lead to danger
from the device. This information is subject to technical changes.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution:
l Keep the device dry. Never immerse in water or other liquids!
l Do not spray or pour liquid directly onto the pump unit.
l Do not place or store the device where it can fall or be pulled into a sink or tub.
l Do not use the Symphony breast pump while bathing or showering.
l Do not reach for any electrical device if it has fallen into water. Unplug it
immediately.
l Always unplug the Symphony breast pump immediately after use.
WARNING: To avoid fire, electrocution or serious burns:
l The Symphony breast pump is not heat-resistant: keep it away from radiators and
naked flames.
l Do not expose the motor unit to direct sunlight.
I Do not operate the Symphony breast pump where aerosol (spray) products are
being used or where oxygen is being administered.
I Do not use the device in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air,
or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
I Do not thaw frozen breast milk and do not warm breast milk in a microwave or in a
pan of boiling water. Microwaving can cause severe burns to the baby's mouth from
hot spots that develop in the milk during heating. Microwaving can also change the
composition of breast milk.
I Use only the power cord that comes with the Symphony breast pump. Make sure
that its rated voltage is compatible with the power source.
l Never operate an electrical device if it has a damaged power cord, if it is not
working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water.
I Always inspect the power cord wires prior to use for damage or exposed wire. If
any damage is found, stop using the power cord immediately. Contact the local
Medela representative or rental agency.
