Prior to cleaning, disassemble all parts of your pump kit (SoftFit breast-
shield, valve, membrane, bottles and bottle caps). Be especially sure to
remove the yellow valve from the breastshield and separate the white
membrane from the valve prior to cleaning. See parts E & F on (page 1).
All parts can be cleaned with soap and water or boiling.

Prior to first use:

Disassemble all parts of your pump kit that come into contact with the
breast and milk (SoftFit breastshield, valve, membrane, bottles and
bottle caps). Sanitize by boiling for 10 minutes.

After each use:

Disassemble and wash all parts of your pump kit that come into contact
with the breast and milk (SoftFit breastshield, valve, membrane, bottles
and bottle caps) in warm, soapy water.
• Rinse in clear water.
• Air-dry on clean towel and cover parts when not in use.
Do not wash the motor or power cord. Use a damp (not wet) cloth to
wipe down the motor and pump body if necessary (see parts A & B on
page 1)
Alternatively, use Quick Clean
Micro-Steam ™ Bags for easy, convenient daily cleaning.

Tubing Care:

Inspect tubing after each pumping session for condensation and/or milk.
If condensation appears in tubing:
To eliminate condensation after you have completed pumping, continue
running the pump with the tubing attached for another 1-2 minutes or
until dry.

If milk gets into the tubing:
1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
2. Remove tubing from the pump. Wash in soapy water, then rinse in
cold clear water.

attach tubing to the pump and run for 1-2 minutes or until dry, or
pour a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through tubing to dry.
If milk accidentally gets inside the motor unit:
1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
2. See troubleshooting instructions, page 11 part C.
