Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To fully
benet from the support that Philips Avent oers, 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 ow - 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 ow. 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 rst year, combined with solid food after the rst 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 benets 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 t
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.

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 nd the optimum times of the day to express your milk, for
example just before or after your baby’s rst 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.
4213_354_3951_4_DFU-Luxury_schalen naar 140x200_v7.indd 16 26/07/2018 15:20
Tips
- Familiarize yourself with the breast pump and how to operate it before
you use it for the rst 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’ reex.
- 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 nd 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
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 ts correctly in the cushion. See for correct
size of cushion, section „Find the best cushion for you”.
5 Press the on/o button.
- The breast pump automatically starts up in stimulation mode and the
on/o button and the stimulation button light up.
- You begin to feel the suction on your breast.
English
17
6 Once your milk starts owing, you can adopt a slower rhythm by
pressing the lowest suction button.
- This button lights up instead of the stimulation button.

18
English
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not ow immediately. Relax and
continue pumping. The rst few times you use the breast pump, you may
need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk owing.
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.
You can turn o the breast pump whenever you like by pressing the
on/o button.
Note: You do not need to use all suction modes, only use the modes that
are comfortable for you.
Warning: Always turn o 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
(2-4 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/9 oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent
overlling and spillage.

English
9 When you have nished expressing, turn o 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.
- 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.
19
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’.

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 rst signs of damage or weakness.
Assembling bottles
When you assemble the bottle, make sure you place the dome cap
vertically onto the bottle so that the nipple sits upright.

English
To remove the dome cap, place your hand over the dome cap and your
thumb in the dimple of the dome cap.
The nipple is easier to assemble if you wriggle it upwards instead of pulling
it up in a straight line.
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.
N
ote: In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot wate
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.

r.
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 rst
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

baby with drinking. Over time, you can change the nipple to accomodate the
individual needs of your baby.

Assembling the manual breast pump
Note: Make sure you have cleaned and optionally disinfected the
appropriate parts of the breast pump.
1 Wash your hands thoroughly before you handle the cleaned parts.
Warning: Be careful, the cleaned parts may still be hot. Only start
assembling the breast pump when cleaned parts have cooled down.
Note: You may nd it easier to assemble the breast pump while it is wet.
2 Insert the white valve into the pump body from underneath. Push the
valve in as far as possible.

English
Warning: Always use the breast pump with a cushion.
Operating the manual breast pump
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 massage cushion creates an airtight seal.
4 Make sure that your nipple ts correctly in the cushion. See for correct
size of cushion, section „Find the best cushion for you”.
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.
Note: You do not have to press down the handle fully, only as much as
is comfortable. Your milk will soon start owing, 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’ reex.
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 owing. 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 ow immediately. Relax and
continue pumping. The rst few times you use the breast pump, you may
need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk owing.
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
(2-4 oz) of breast milk from one breast. However, this is just an
indication and varies from woman to woman.
4213_354_3951_4_DFU-Luxury_schalen naar 140x200_v7.indd 26 26/07/2018 15:20
English
Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can
purchase and use a 260ml/9 oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent
overlling and spillage.

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.
