5. Cleaning
Caution
14
l Only use drinking-quality water for
cleaning.
l Take apart and wash all parts that come
in contact with the breast and breastmilk
immediately after use to avoid dry up of
milk residues and to prevent growth of
bacteria.
l for chapter 5.3 Cleaning the
breastpump and case:
Unplug the breastpump before cleaning.
Note
l for step 2a (Chapter 5.2):
When boiling, a teaspoon of citric acid
may be added to the water to avoid a
build-up of limescale.
l Store the pump set in a clean bag/
container until next use. Or store it in
clean paper or a cloth.
l Do not spray or pour liquid directly onto
the pump.
