For your child's safety and health WARNING!

• Always use this product with adult supervision.
- Never use feeding nipples or spouts as a soother.
- Continuous and prolonged sipping of fluids will cause tooth decay.
• Always check food temperature before feeding.
- Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children.
- Do not allow children to play with small parts or walk/run while using bottles or cups.
- Do not place in a heated oven.
- Heating in a microwave oven may produce localized high temperatures.
- To avoid scalding, allow hot liquids to cool before preparing the feeds.
- Do not leave a feeding nipple or feeding spout in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant (sterilizing solution) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the nipple or spout.
- Drinks other than milk and water, such as fruit juices and flavored sugary drinks are not recommended. If they are used, they should be well diluted and only used for limited periods, not constantly sipped.
- To ensure the bottle functions correctly and to prevent leakage, always make sure you: remove any debris or residue that may collect around the rim of the bottle before assembly, and avoid over-tightening the bottle screw ring when assembling it onto the bottle.

• Make sure all the parts are correctly assembled and combined. Use the cap and check if it is placed correctly before you shake the bottle to prepare milk.
• Expressed breast milk can be stored in sterilized Philips Avent polypropylene bottles/containers in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours (not in the door) or the freezer for up to 3 months. Never refreeze breast milk or add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.

Before first use

• Clean and sterilize the product. Place the disassembled parts in boiling water for 5 minutes. This is to ensure hygiene.
• Inspect and pull the feeding nipple or spout in all directions. Throw it away at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Clean before each use

• Wash and rinse thoroughly, then sterilize using a Philips Avent sterilizer or boil for 5 minutes.
• Wash your hands thoroughly and ensure surfaces are clean before contact with sterilized components. Do not place components directly on surfaces that have been cleaned with antibacterial cleaning agents. Excessive concentration of cleaning agents may eventually cause plastic components to crack. Should this occur, replace immediately.
• Dishwasher safe – food colorings may discolor components.

Nipples and spouts

• Make sure you use a nipple with the correct flow rate when you feed your baby.
- For hygiene reasons, we recommend replacing nipples and spouts after 3 months.
- Keep nipples and spouts in a dry and covered container.
- Nipples are available in newborn, slow, medium, fast and variable flow rates. Only use Classic+ nipples with Classic or Classic+ bottles.
- The spout is not suitable for hot, fizzy or pulpy drinks. Do not use the spout with infant formula as this may clog the non-spill valve and cause components to leak.
• To buy accessories or spare parts, visit www.shop.philips.com/service or go to your Philips dealer. You can also contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country.
