Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To fully benefit from the support that Philips Avent offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.

The Philips Avent breast pump has a special design that enables you to sit in a more comfortable position while expressing. The soft massage cushion* is designed to feel soft and warm and to mimic your baby's suckling action to provide milk flow – comfortably and gently. The power cushion is designed for stronger suction**. The breast pump starts in a gentle mode that helps to stimulate your milk flow. You can then choose from three suction modes, according to your own personal comfort.

The pump is easy to assemble and operate and all parts that come into contact with breast milk are dishwasher-safe.

Healthcare professionals say that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies during the first year, combined with solid food after the first 6 months. Your breast milk is specially adapted to your baby's needs and help protect your baby against infection and allergies. A breast pump can help you to breastfeed longer. You can express and store your milk so that your baby can still enjoy the benefits of it, even if you cannot be there to provide it yourself. As the pump is compact, quiet and discreet to use, you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain your milk supply.

This breast pump is for household use only.

*The cushions included with this pump were designed to comfortably fit the majority of mothers. However, if you need it, you can buy a smaller size cushion separately.

**The power cushion is not included in SCF334/25 and SCD223/10.

Washing in dishwasher: Clean the parts, except the motor unit, the silicone tube and cap and the adapter, in the dishwasher (on the top rack only).

Note: To clean the valve, rub it gently between your fingers in warm water with some washing-up liquid. Do not insert objects into the valve, as this may cause damage.

Disinfection (optional)

After cleaning, if you also want to disinfect, you can boil the parts in water in a household pot.

Supplies needed for disinfection:

-A household pot

-High quality drinking water

5 min.

Disinfect the parts in the following way:

Fill a household pot with enough water to cover all parts. Bring the water to boil. Place the parts in the household pot and boil them for 5 minutes. During disinfection with boiling water, prevent the bottle or other parts from touching the side of the pan. This can cause irreversible product deformation or damage that Philips cannot be held liable for.

Using the breast pump

When to express milk

If breastfeeding goes well, it is advisable (unless advised otherwise by your healthcare professional/breastfeeding advisor) to wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are established (normally at least 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth) before you start expressing.

Exceptions:

• If breastfeeding does not go well immediately, expressing regularly can help to establish and maintain your milk supply.
  -If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
• If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen), you can express a small amount of milk before or between feeds to ease the pain and to help your baby latch on more easily.
• If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express your milk until they are healed.
• If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to breastfeed when you are reunited, you should express your milk regularly to stimulate your milk supply.

You need to find the optimum times of the day to express your milk, for example just before or after your baby's first feed in the morning when your breasts are full, or after a feed if your baby has not emptied both breasts. If you have returned to work, you may need to express during a break. Using a breast pump requires practice and it may take several attempts before you succeed. Fortunately, the Philips Avent electric breast pump is easy to assemble and use so you will soon get used to expressing with it.

Tips

• Familiarize yourself with the breast pump and how to operate it before you use it for the first time.
• Choose a time when you are not in a rush and will not be interrupted.

-A photograph of your baby can help encourage the 'let-down' reflex.

- Warmth can also help: try to express after a bath or shower, or place a warm cloth or Philips Avent Thermopad on the breast for a few minutes before you start expressing.

- You may find it easier to express while your baby is feeding from the other breast, or immediately after a feed.

-If expressing becomes painful, stop and consult your breastfeeding advisor or healthcare professional.

Operating the breast pump

Illustration of a hand holding a small device with wires, no visible text or symbols

1 Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.
2 Relax in a comfortable chair (you may wish to use cushions to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby.
3 Press the assembled pump body against your breast. Make sure that your nipple is centered, so that the cushion creates an airtight seal.

SCF334: The twin electric breast pump enables you to express milk from both breasts at the same time. However, you can also use the appliance to express from one breast in just the same way. Attach both assembled pump bodies to the silicone tube and cap. We recommend to place the cover over the other one.

4 Make sure that your nipple fits correctly in the cushion. See for correct size of cushion, section „Find the best cushion for you”.
5 Press the on/off button.

- The breast pump automatically starts up in stimulation mode and the on/off button and the stimulation button light up.

-You begin to feel the suction on your breast.

English

Note: Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping. The first few times you use the breast pump, you may need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk flowing.

7 Depending on your own personal comfort, you may wish to use a higher suction mode that provides deeper suction. You can always return to a lower suction mode.

Simple line drawing of a cylindrical device with a labeled component and cable, no text or symbols present.

You can turn off the breast pump whenever you like by pressing the on/off button.

Note: You do not need to use all suction modes, only use the modes that are comfortable for you.

Warning: Always turn off the breast pump before you remove the pump body from your breast to release the vacuum.

Warning: Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if you do not succeed in expressing any milk. Try to express at another time during the day.

Warning: If the process becomes very uncomfortable or painful, stop using the pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor.

8 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml (2-4fl oz) of breast milk from one breast. However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to woman.

Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can purchase and use a 260ml/9fl oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent overfilling and spillage.

9 When you have finished expressing, turn off the breast pump and carefully remove the pump body from your breast.

10 Unscrew the bottle from the pump body. You have multiple options:

- Place a cleaned sealing disc in a cleaned screw ring, and screw the assembled screw ring onto the bottle. The expressed milk in the bottle is ready for storage.

11 Unplug the adapter from the wall outlet to disconnect the appliance from the electrical power. Unplug the motor unit from the adapter. Unplug the silicone tube and cap from the silicone diaphragm. For easy storage, wrap the silicone tube around the motor unit and clip the cap onto the tube. 12 Clean the other used parts of the breast pump according to the instructions in section 'Cleaning'.

Storing breast milk

Warning: Only store breast milk collected with a cleaned and optionally disinfected pump to ensure hygiene.

Breast milk can be stored in the fridge (not in the door) for up to 48 hours. Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately. If you store milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add milk that has been expressed into a cleaned bottle or storage cup. Breast milk can be stored in the freezer for up to three months as long as it is kept in either cleaned bottles fitted with a cleaned screw ring and sealing disc or cleaned storage cups. Clearly label the bottle or storage cup with the date and time of expression and use older breast milk first. If you intend to feed your baby with the expressed breast milk within 48 hours, you can store the breast milk in the fridge in an assembled Philips Avent bottle or storage cup.

Do's

-Always refrigerate or freeze expressed milk immediately.

Only store milk collected with a cleaned breast pump in cleaned bottles.

Don'ts

-Never refreeze thawed breast milk.

- Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk.

Compatibility

The Philips Avent electric breast pump is compatible with Philips Avent bottles in our range and Philips Avent Storage cups. When you use other Philips Avent bottles, use the same type of nipple that was supplied with that bottle. For details on how to assemble the nipple and general cleaning instructions, see section 'Feeding' and section 'Cleaning'. These details can also be found on our website, www.philips.com/support.

- Spare nipples are available separately. Make sure you use a nipple with the correct flow rate when you feed your baby (see 'Choosing the right nipple for your baby'). 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 Center in your country.

- Do not mix Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle parts and nipples with parts of the Philips Avent Natural bottles. They may not fit and could cause leakage or other issues.

- The high-quality plastic Philips Avent Natural bottle is compatible with most Philips Avent breast pumps, spouts, sealing discs and cup tops.

Feeding

You can feed your baby with breast milk from Philips Avent bottles and storage cups.

For your child's safety and health

WARNING!

Warnings to prevent harm to children:

• Always use bottles and nipples with adult supervision. Do not allow your child to play with small parts or walk/run while using bottles or cups.
  -Never use feeding nipples as a soother, to prevent choking hazard.
  -Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay.
• Always check the temperature of the food before you feed your baby to prevent burns.
  -Throw away any part at the first signs of damage or weakness.
  -Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children.
• Do not alter the product or parts of it in any way. This may result in unsafe functioning of the product.
  -Keep the dome cap away from children to avoid suffocation

CAUTION

Cautions to avoid damage to the product:

-Do not place in a heated oven, plastic can melt.

• Plastic material properties may be affected by disinfection and high temperatures. This can affect the fit of the dome cap.
• Do not leave a feeding nipple in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant for longer than recommended because this may damage the product.

Before first use

Before first use, disassemble all parts, clean and optionally disinfect the bottle. Inspect the bottle and feeding nipple before each use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Cleaning bottles

To ensure hygiene, clean the parts of the bottle mentioned in section 'Cleaning' before each use. Also clean all parts after each subsequent use. You can optionally disinfect by following the instructions in section 'Disinfection (optional)'.

Make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly and that the surfaces are clean before contact with cleaned components. Excessive concentration of detergents may eventually cause plastic components to crack. Should this occur, replace immediately. Inspect the bottle and feeding nipple before each use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away any part at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Make sure you pull the nipple through until its surface is level with the surface of the screw ring.

Heating breast milk

If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.

Note: In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.

Heat the bottle or storage cup with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water or in a bottle warmer. Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the bottle or remove the lid from the storage cup.

Always stir or shake heated food to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature before serving. Take extra care when you heat up food in a microwave as heating food in a microwave oven may produce localized high temperatures.

Note: We do not recommend heating breast milk in the microwave because when breast milk becomes too warm, nutrients and vitamins are damaged.

Note: You can purchase and use Philips Avent bottle warmer to heat up the milk.

Maintenance and storage of bottles

Inspect the bottle and feeding nipple before each use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness. For hygiene reasons, we recommend replacing nipples after 3 months. Keep nipples in a dry, covered container. When not in use, do not leave the nipples in sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant ('sterilizing solution') for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the nipple. Do not place in a heated oven. Store the bottles in a dry location.

Additional information

The Philips Avent nipples are available with different flow rates to help your baby with drinking. Over time, you can change the nipple to accommodate the individual needs of your baby.

Choosing the right nipple for your baby

The Philips Avent nipples are available with different flow rates to help your baby with drinking. Over time you can change the nipple accommodating the individual needs of your baby. Philips Avent nipples are clearly numbered on the side to indicate flow rate (see image). Make sure you use a nipple with the correct flow rate when you feed your baby. Use a lower flow rate if your baby chokes, is leaking milk or has trouble adjusting to the drinking speed. Use a higher flow rate if your baby falls asleep during feeding, gets frustrated or when feeding takes a very long time. These Philips Avent nipples can be used on the Natural Philips Avent feeding bottle and Philips Avent storage cups. Nipples are available for 0m, 0m+, 1m+, 3m+, 6m+, variable flow (I/II/III) and thick feed (Y).

5 Gently start to press down the handle until you feel the suction on your breast. Then allow the handle to return to its resting position.

Illustration of a hand holding a device with a black arrow pointing to the device (no text or symbols present)

Note: You do not have to press down the handle fully, only as much as is comfortable. Your milk will soon start flowing, even though you are not using all the suction the pump can generate.

6 Repeat step 5 rapidly 5 or 6 times to initiate the 'let-down' reflex.
7 Adopt a slower rhythm by pressing down the handle and keeping it pressed down for up to 3 seconds before you let it return to its resting position. Continue in this way while your milk is flowing. If your hand becomes tired, try to use the other hand to operate the breast pump or rest your arm across your body to pump from the opposite breast.
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping. The first few times you use the breast pump, you may need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk flowing.

Warning: Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if you do not succeed in expressing any milk. Try to express at another time during the day.

Warning: If the process becomes very uncomfortable or painful, stop using the pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor.

8 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml (2-4fl oz) of breast milk from one breast. However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to woman.

Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can purchase and use a 260ml/9fl oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent overfilling and spillage.

9 When you have finished expressing, carefully remove the breast pump from your breast and unscrew the bottle or storage cup from the pump body. The bottle or storage cup with milk is now ready for feeding or storage.
10 Unscrew the bottle from the pump body. You have multiple options:

- Place a cleaned sealing disc in a cleaned screw ring, and screw the assembled screw ring onto the bottle. The expressed milk in the bottle is ready for storage.

- Alternatively, place a cleaned nipple in a cleaned screw ring and screw the assembled screw ring onto the bottle. Seal the nipple with the dome cap.

Clean the other used parts of the breast pump according to the instructions in section 'Cleaning'.

Storage cups

The Philips Avent storage cups are part of a reusable storage system specifically designed for mothers to express, store and feed. The Philips Avent storage cups have twist-on lids to provide leak-proof transport and storage.

With the storage cup adapter, you can use the storage cups as containers for the breast pump and as feeding bottles.
