Separate and wash all parts that are exposed to breast milk immediately after use. This will
help to remove breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
• Only use drinking-quality tap water or bottled water for cleaning.

only for infant feeding items.

NOTICE
Pay attention to the following:
• Take care not to damage parts of the breast pump set during cleaning.
• Store the dried breast pump set in a clean bag/container until next use.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mould may develop.
• If you notice a white residue on your breast pump parts after boiling, your water may have a
high mineral content. Remove residue by wiping parts with a clean towel and allow to air
dry.
• Distilled water is recommended when boiling parts to prevent substantial mineral build-up
over time, which may compromise your parts.
Parts to wash or sanitize:
