It is important you do the following before using your breast pump for the first time:
Disassemble all parts & clean following your breast pump cleaning instructions.
For additional cleaning guidelines see the Center for Disease Control website:

(U.S).
Supplies needed:
• Dish soap
• Clean soft brush
• Clean wash basin or dishwasher
• Drinking-quality water
• Clean pot for boiling water
CAUTION
Separate and wash all parts that are exposed to breast milk immediately after use.
This will help to remove breast milk residue and prevent growth of bacteria.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
• Only use drinking-quality tap water or bottled water for cleaning.
• Do not place collection cup parts directly in the sink to rinse or wash. Use a clean
wash basin used only for infant items.
• Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry.
• Do not use disinfectants for cleaning.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the tubing.
• Only clean the tubing as described in chapter 6.5. Do not clean the tubing as described
below or with the Quick Clean Micro-Steam bags in the microwave.
NOTICE
Pay attention to the following:
• Take care not to damage parts of the collection cups during cleaning.
• Store the dry collection cups in a clean bag/container until next use.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
• If you notice a white residue on your collection cup parts after boiling, your water
may have a high mineral content. Remove residue by wiping parts with a clean
towel and allow to air dry.
• Distilled water is recommended when boiling parts to prevent substantial mineral
build-up over time, which may compromise the parts.
Parts to wash and sanitize:
• Breast shields
• Outer shells
