Introduction

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

The Philips Avent single/double electric breast pump Premium is inspired by babies and their natural suction movement. The soft silicone cushion stimulates the nipple with gentle massaging movements, helping you to express milk comfortably and effectively. The combination of suction and nipple stimulation triggers fast milk flow. The no-lean-forward design enables you to sit in a relaxed, upright position while expressing.

Healthcare professionals and the World Health Organization recommend breast milk as the primary source of nutrition during the first year of life, combined with solid food after the first 6 months. This is because your breast milk is specially adapted to your baby’s needs and helps to protect your baby against infection and allergies. 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 discrete to use, you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and to maintain your milk supply.

If breastfeeding goes well, it is advisable (unless recommended otherwise by your healthcare professional) 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.

English

Warning: Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk to avoid a decrease in milk

quality and unintended thawing of the frozen milk.

Feeding breast milk with the bottle

Warning: For your child's safety and health

Always use this bottle with adult supervision.

Never use feeding teats as a soother, to prevent a choking hazard.

Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay.

Always check the food temperature before you feed your baby.

Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children.

Keep the bottle cap away from children to avoid suffocation.

Do not allow children to play with small parts or walk/run while using bottles.

Inspect all parts before use and pull the feeding teat in all directions. Throw away any part at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Always discard any breast milk that is left over at the end of a feed.

Caution: To avoid damage to the bottle

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 bottle cap.

Do not leave a feeding teat in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant for longer than recommended because this may damage the product.

Before using the bottle

Inspect the bottle and feeding teat before each use and pull the feeding teat in all directions to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Clean and disinfect the bottle before first use and after every use.

Assembling the bottle

English

1. The teat is easier to assemble if you wriggle it upwards instead of pulling it up in a straight line.

5. To remove the cap, place your hand over the cap and your thumb in the dimple of the cap.

2. Make sure you pull the teat through until its lower part is aligned with the screw ring.

3. Make sure you place the cap vertically onto the bottle so that the teat sits upright.

4. Screw the screw ring with teat and cap on the bottle.

Heating breast milk

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

Note: If you need to feed your baby quickly, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.

Heat the bottle 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.

Always stir or shake heated breast milk to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature before serving.

Warning: It is not recommended to use a microwave to warm up breast milk. Microwaves might alter the quality of breast milk and destroy some valuable nutrients and may produce localized high temperatures. If you heat up breast milk in the microwave, only place the container without screw ring, teat and cap in microwave. Always stir heated breast milk to ensure even heat distribution and check the temperature before serving.

English

Choosing the right teat for your baby

Philips Avent Natural teats are available with different flow rates. The breast pump comes with teat number 1. This is a 0m+ teat, ideal for newborn and breastfed babies of all ages.

Use a lower flow rate if your baby chokes often, if milk dribbles out of its mouth during feeding or if it has trouble adjusting to the drinking speed. Use a higher flow rate if your baby falls asleep during feeding, gets frustrated or if feeding takes very long.

Philips Avent Natural teats are clearly numbered on the side, to indicate flow rate. For more information, see www.philips.com/avent.

Storing the bottles

Store all parts in a dry, clean and covered container.

Do not leave a feeding teat in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant (‘sterilizing solution’) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the parts.

For hygiene reasons, we recommend to replace the teats after 3 months.

Compatibility

The Philips Avent single/double electric breast pump Premium is compatible with all baby bottles in the Philips Avent Natural range and Philips Avent Storage cups with adapter. We do not recommend to use the Philips Avent Natural Glass bottles with the breast pump.

Ordering accessories

To buy accessories or spare parts, visit www.philips.com/parts-and-accessories or go to your Philips dealer. You can also contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country.

When you order spare teats, make sure that you use a teat with the correct flow rate for your baby (see 'Choosing the right teat for your baby') and do not mix Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle parts and teats with parts of the Philips Avent Natural bottles. They do not fit and could cause leakage or other issues.

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Problem

I experience pain when I use the breast pump.

Solution

Choose a suction level that is comfortable for you.

Check if the silicone diaphragm is undamaged (does not have small

cracks, holes etc.). Ensure that your nipple is placed in the center of the cushion.

If the pain persists, stop using the breast pump and consult your

healthcare professional.

The breast pump does not switch on while it is connected to the wall socket.

Only use the adapter supplied.

Make sure that the adapter has been inserted correctly into the wall

socket and that the small plug has been inserted correctly into the motor unit.

Connect the adapter to another wall socket. Then press and hold the

on/off button to check if the breast pump can be switched on. If the problem persists, contact the Consumer Care Center via

www.philips.com/support.

Problem Solution

The breast pump does not switch on (indicator lights do not go on).

The breast pump is not charging.

Make sure that the battery is charged (see 'Charging the breast pump')

or connect the breast pump to the the wall socket.

Only use the adapter supplied.

Make sure that the adapter has been inserted correctly into the wall

socket and that the small plug has been inserted correctly into the motor unit.

The breast pump is too cold or too hot for charging. Let the breast

pump acclimatize to room temperature for 30minutes. If the problem persists, contact the Consumer Care Center via

www.philips.com/support.

English

Charging of the breast pump takes very long.

I do not feel any suction/the suction level is too low.

The suction of the breast pump is too strong.

Only use the adapter supplied.

Make sure that the adapter has been inserted correctly into the wall

socket and that the small plug has been inserted correctly into the motor unit.

The breast pump is too cold or too hot. It is recommended to charge

the breast pump at room temperature. If the problem persists, contact the Consumer Care Center via

www.philips.com/support.

If possible, try a higher suction level.

Check if the silicone diaphragm is assembled correctly (see

'Assembling the breast pump'). Check if the white valve is undamaged and assembled correctly (see

'Assembling the breast pump'). Check if the other parts of breast pump are intact and assembled

correctly (see 'Assembling the breast pump'). Make sure that the pump is positioned correctly on the breast to allow

a seal between breast pump and breast. If you still do not feel any suction, please contact the Consumer Care

Center via www.philips.com/support.

If possible, try a lower suction level. When you express for the first

time, start with the default suction level (level 5 in stimulation mode, level 11 in expression mode) and increase/decrease the level when needed. During different expression sessions, different levels may feel most comfortable for you.

Make sure that you only use the breast pump parts provided with this

breast pump. Check if the silicone diaphragm is undamaged (does not have small

cracks, holes etc.). If the problem persists, contact the Consumer Care Center via

www.philips.com/support.

I express little/no milk when I use my breast pump.

If you do not feel enough suction, please check Troubleshooting item

'I do not feel any suction/the suction level is too low'. If you are using the Philips Avent breast pump for the first time, you

may

need to acquire some practice before you are able to express

any milk. More expressing tips can be found on the Philips Avent website www.philips.com/avent.

English

Problem Solution

When I switch on the breast pump after storage, it does not start working immediately.

Make sure that the battery is fully charged (see 'Charging the breast

pump') or connect the breast pump to the wall socket. Perhaps you stored the breast pump at a temperature below the

minimum storage temperature or above the maximum storage temperature. Let the breast pump acclimatize in a room of 20°C/68°F for 30minutes to adjust its temperature to the operating range (5°C/41°F to 40°C/104°F).

The display shows ‘Er’ and the device switches off automatically.

If you are operating the breast pump on battery power, let it cool

down for 30minutes and try to switch it on again. If you are operating the breast pump with the adapter connected to

the wall socket, check if you are using the adapter that was supplied with the device.

If the problem persists, contact the Consumer Care Center via

www.philips.com/support.

Einführung

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrem Kauf und willkommen bei Philips Avent! Um den Support von Philips optimal zu nutzen, registrieren Sie Ihre Milchpumpe bitte unter www.philips.com/welcome.

Die Philips Avent elektrische Einzel-/Doppelmilchpumpe Premium ahmt die natürliche Saugbewegung Ihres Babys nach. Das weiche Silikonkissen regt die Brustwarze mit sanften Massagebewegungen an und hilft Ihnen dabei, Milch bequem und effektiv abzupumpen. Die Kombination aus Saugen und Stimulation der Brustwarten regt den Milchfluss schnell an. Das Design ist so konzipiert, dass Sie sich beim Abpumpen nicht nach vorne beugen müssen, sondern eine entspannte, aufrechte Position einnehmen können.

Gesundheitsexperten und die Weltgesundheitsorganisation empfehlen Muttermilch im ersten Lebensjahr als Hauptnahrung – nach den ersten 6 Monaten in Kombination mit fester Nahrung. Ihre Muttermilch ist speziell auf die Bedürfnisse Ihres Babys abgestimmt und trägt zum Schutz Ihres Baby vor Infektionen und Allergien bei. Die Milchpumpe kann Ihnen dabei helfen, länger zu stillen. Sie können Ihre Milch abpumpen und aufbewahren, sodass Ihr Baby selbst dann davon profitieren kann, wenn sie nicht selbst vor Ort sein können. Da die Pumpe kompakt, leise und diskret in der Verwendung ist, können Sie sie überallhin mitnehmen. So können Sie Ihre Milch abpumpen, wann immer Sie möchten, und Ihren Milchfluss aufrecht erhalten.

Damit sich das Stillen gut einspielt, ist es ratsam, (sofern Ihnen in Rücksprache mit medizinischem Fachpersonal nichts anderweitiges empfohlen wurde) mit dem Abpumpen der Milch so lange zu warten, bis sich Ihr Milchfluss an einen festen Zeitplan zum Stillen angepasst hat (sofern Ihnen Ihr medizinisches Fachpersonal nichts anderweitiges empfohlen wurde). Normalerweise dauert dies nach der Entbindung mindestens 2 bis 4 Wochen.
