IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND WARNINGS
• Operate pump using ONLY 3 "AA" name-brand batteries (not included) or with
the Evenflo AC adapter provided, and plug the adapter into a standard
wall outlet.
• Operate the AC adapter on 100 – 240 volts 50/60 Hz AC only. Connect only to
household outlet power supplies of this description. For use in countries outside
North America, a plug converter (not included) may be required.
• Protect power cord and AC adapter cord. Route cords so that they are not walked
on or pinched by items placed upon them.
• DO NOT, under any circumstances, use this AC adapter with any other
equipment. Likewise, do not use the adapter from any other product on this
breast pump.
• Adapter must be removed for battery operation. In case of a power outage,
batteries will not act as a backup if the adapter is engaged.
• DO NOT mix old and new batteries. DO NOT mix alkaline, standard (carbon-
zinc), or rechargeable batteries; leakage, explosion, and/or fire could occur.
• Remove batteries before storing unit for a prolonged period of time.
• DO NOT heat breast milk in the microwave. Microwaving can destroy nutrients
in breast milk and can heat liquids unevenly resulting in burns or scalds.
See page 11 for proper use of breast milk.
• DO NOT re-freeze breast milk. After feeding, any unused breast milk left in the
bottle can be refrigerated and used within 4 to 6 hours. See page 12 for proper
milk storage.
• ALWAYS test temperature of liquid before feeding.
• If you are a mother who is infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pumping breast milk will not reduce or remove
the risk of transmitting the virus to your baby through your breast milk.
• Save These Instructions for Future Use.
