3. Cleaning and sterilisation
Before you use your breast pump for the
fi
rst time and every time before use:
Separate all parts, then wash in the dishwasher or in warm soapy
water and rinse. Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/
detergents. Sterilise in a Philips AVENT Steam Steriliser (Digital,
Electric or Microwave), or by boiling for 5 minutes. If using a Philips
AVENT Steam Steriliser, the pump will remain sterile in the steriliser
for a minimum of 6 hours, provided the lid is not
removed.
4. Keeping your breast pump sterile for travel
After sterilising all parts, insert the white valve (g) and
fit the diaphragm with stem (d) onto the pump body (f).
Clip the cover (a) over the funnel and Let-down Massage
Cushion (b) and screw on the sealing base (m) in place of
the AVENT Feeding Bottle (h).

5. Using the Manual Breast Pump
with the AVENT VIA Feeding System
Simply replace the AVENT Feeding Bottle with a VIA
Cup and Adaptor. To make the pump completely
stable insert the VIA Cup into the VIA Lid/Stand.
6. How to assemble the Manual
Breast Pump
Separate all parts and ensure pump has been cleaned
and sterilised as in section 3:
1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Insert the white valve (g) into the pump
body (f) from underneath.
2) Place the pump body (f) onto the AVENT Feeding Bottle (h).
3) Twist gently clockwise until secure.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
4) Place the silicone diaphragm and stem (d) into the pump body (f). Make
sure it fits securely around the rim by pressing down with your fingers
to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled whilst wet.)
5) Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the silicone diaphragm
and stem (d) and push down gently on the handle until it clicks into
place.
6) Carefully insert the Let-down Massage Cushion (b) into the pump
funnel (f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of the
funnel. (This is easier if assembled whilst wet.)
7) Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump
completely stable insert the bottle into the stand (i).
7. When to express milk
1) If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are
well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless told
otherwise by your health professional or breastfeeding advisor.
