09. PREPARATION OF MILK FOR FEEDING
1. Do not thaw frozen milk in the microwave or in boiling water. There is a risk
of scalding the baby's face.
2. Thaw the milk in the fridge overnight. Do not refreeze once thawed milk. You
can thaw milk quickly by holding it under running water with a maximum
temperature of 37°C.
3. Place the closed bottle/bag in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes to bring
the milk to body temperature.
4. Do not add freshly drained milk to previously frozen milk if the amount of
fresh milk exceeds the amount of previously frozen milk.
5. It is recommended that you breastfeed before you start feeding your baby
with a bottle.
6. Always check the bottle, teat and other components before and after each
feeding. If the teat is damaged, stop using it immediately.
7. To avoid the risk of strangulation, test the strength of the soother by pulling
gently on its protruding part.
8. Do not try to enlarge the opening of the teat.
9. Infants should not be bottle fed without adult supervision.
10. The teat of the bottle should not be used as a soother for the baby.
10. REPLACEMENT OF CONSUMABLE PARTS
Consumable parts are subject to natural wear and tear during operation of the
breast pump and are therefore not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Worn components of the breast pump that come into contact with milk should
be replaced. A worn component has a crack, deformation, tarnishing or a distinct
change in colour.
• Replace the diaphragm every 8 weeks (if you use the breast pump 1-3
times a day) or every 3-4 weeks (if you use the breast pump more than 3
times a day).
• Replace the valve every 2-3 months (if using 1-3 times a day) or every 4
weeks (if using more than 3 times a day).
• Replace the funnel every 6 months if you use the breast pump more than
3 times a day.
• Replace the tube only if moisture enters the tube or the tube is damaged.
11. LONG-TERM STORAGE
The breast pump has a built-in rechargeable battery. To protect against damage, the
device goes into storage mode after a long period of inactivity. To deactivate the
storage mode, connect the device to power and charge it for 2 hours. Before you
put the breast pump away for an extended period of time, make sure that:
• All parts of the breast pump are clean.
