6.2 Cleaning the breast pump
WARNING
Before using it for the first time, clean and disinfect the individual parts of the breast pump that come into direct contact with the breast milk
(except for motor unit and silicone hose). It is recommended to clean these parts each time after they are used and disinfect them at least
once a day. Never use cleaning products as their residues could harm your child. For this reason, the pump parts must also not be cleaned
in the dishwasher. Never clean the motor unit under running water. Use a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt on the motor unit.
To clean the breast pump correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the body of the breast pump from the bottle.
2. Remove the silicone tube from the pump attachment and the motor unit.
3. Separate the pump attachment (including cap with silicone membrane and silicone valve) from the body of the breast pump.
4. Rinse the parts of the breast pump that come into contact with the breast/breast milk under running water for 30 seconds to remove any
milk residue. Do not place the parts in the sink when rinsing them.
5. Place the pump parts (2. Pump attachment including silicone membrane and silicone valve, 3. Silicone tube, 4. Bottle, 5. Screw plug for
bottle, 6. Adapter for NUK, 7. Adapter for Avent, 8. Silicone membrane, 9. Silicone valve, 10. Silicone cushion) in a clean wash basin that
is only used for baby food items. Do not place pump parts directly in the sink! Add hot water to the bowl and scrub the pump parts with a
clean brush. Do not use any cleaning products as their residues may be harmful to your child. For this reason, the pump parts must also
not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
6. After scrubbing, rinse the breast pump parts under running water for 30 seconds.
7. Air dry thoroughly. To dry the pump parts, place them on a clean, unused tea towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust.
Do not rub or pat pump parts dry with a tea towel as germs could be transferred to the pump parts. Do not use the breast pump until all
individual parts are fully dry.
To disinfect the breast pump correctly, proceed as follows:
1. First, carry out the necessary cleaning steps. Pump parts must not be disinfected until after they have been cleaned.
2. Fill the pot with enough water to cover all parts and bring the water to the boil. Allow the parts to boil for 5 minutes.
3. Leave the water to cool down and carefully remove the parts from the water using clean tongs.
4. Allow the parts to air dry thoroughly. To dry the disinfected pump parts, place them on a clean, unused tea towel or paper towel in an area
protected from dirt and dust. Do not rub or pat pump parts dry with a tea towel as germs could be transferred to the pump parts.
5. Store dry parts in a clean and cool location when not in use. Do NOT store wet or damp parts.

7.1 Tips to ensure a better milk flow
• Choose a location to use the pump where you can relax.
• Choose a time to use the pump when you can relax.
• Having your child nearby or looking at a picture of your child can have a positive e ect on the milk flow.
• If feeding your child using one breast, use the breast pump on the other breast at the same time.
• Warmth and relaxation encourage milk flow. Use the breast pump after having a shower or bath.
• If your breasts are swollen or sore, place a warm towel on them for a few minutes. This will improve the milk flow.
• If the milk does not start to flow from your breasts immediately, try to relax and then try again a few minutes later.
• If the breast pump still does not extract any milk from your breasts after five minutes, stop using it and try again later.
• If you experience any sharp pains when using the breast pump, consult a doctor.
