Cleaning
BEFORE FIRST USE, AND AFTER EVERY USE
Clean and sterilize all pump parts that come in contact with milk:
SoftShape
Silicone Shields
TM
Pump Connectors
Membranes
Duckbill Valves
Bottle Vessels
Narrow-to-Wide Neck Adapters (if using)
ALWAYS USE DRINKING QUALITY WATER FOR CLEANING!
Cleaning Instructions for Milk-Contact Parts:
1. Disassemble pump following instructions on page 10.
2. Rinse milk residue from parts under cool running water.
3. Do not place parts directly in the sink. Soak in warm soapy water for several minutes.
4. Use a cloth or soft brush used only for cleaning infant feeding items to clean all parts.
5. Rinse parts under hot running water until all soap has been removed, being careful that temperature of
water will not burn or irritate skin.
6. Alternately, wash all parts in the top rack of the dishwasher. Place small items in a closed-top basket or
mesh bag. Run dishwasher using hot water and a heated drying/sanitizing cycle.
7. Rest parts on a clean paper towel or rack to air dry. All parts must be completely dry before storing to
prevent bacteria and mold growth. Store clean, dry parts in a bag or container until next use.
8. Sanitize/sterilize before each use. (Microwave and electric steam sterilizers may be used to sterilize milk
contact parts.)
9. For convenience, special wipes for cleaning breast pump parts may be used when away from home.
However, all parts must be cleaned using soapy water or in the dishwasher before pumping again.
NOTE
• Please clean all accessories according to cleaning guide every time before using.
• Let parts cool after washing in dishwasher or sterilizing. Handle carefully.
• Avoid using cloth towels to dry your pump parts because they can carry germs and bacteria that are harmful to
your breast milk and your baby.
• Try not to touch the inside of any parts that will come in contact with your breast milk.
• See separate instructions for bottle cleaning & assembly.
