Find The Best Cushion For You; Assembling The Breast Pump - Philips AVENT SCD223 Manual

Disinfect the parts in the following way:
Fill a household pot with enough water to cover all parts. Bring the water to boil. Place the parts in
the household pot and boil them for 5 minutes (Fig. 3). During disinfection with boiling water, prevent
the bottle or other parts from touching the side of the pan. This can cause irreversible product
deformation or damage that Philips cannot be held liable for.
Allow water to cool and gently remove the parts from the water. Place the parts neatly on a clean
paper towel or in a clean drying rack and allow them to air dry. Avoid using cloth towels to dry the
parts because they can carry germs and bacteria that are harmful to your baby.

Find the best cushion for you

Expressing breast milk should be comfortable. Therefore we offer 3 soft flexible cushions: a 19.5 mm
massage cushion (supplied with your breast pump), a 25 mm massage cushion and a 27 mm power
cushion. To see if the power cushion is included with your breast pump, please check the list under
section General Description.
For optimal comfort and performance, you should choose the optimal cushion for your nipples (Fig. 4).
- 19,5 mm: Massage cushion,
- 25 mm: Massage cushion (not included),
27 mm: Power cushion:
-
1 Start with the standard 19,5 mm massage cushion supplied with your breast pump. You can find the
size of the cushion on the cushion itself (Fig. 5).
2 If the cushion is too small, purchase the larger 25 mm cushion (see 'Ordering accessories'). A too
small cushion can cause pain or less effective expression (Fig. 6).
3 If you prefer stronger suction or if you need a larger cushion size, you can try the 27 mm power
cushion (Fig. 7).

Assembling the breast pump

Note: Make sure you have cleaned and sanitized 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 find 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
(Fig. 8).
3 Screw the pump body clockwise onto the bottle until it is securely fixed (Fig. 9).
4 Insert the silicone diaphragm into the pump body from above. Make sure it fits securely around the
rim by pressing down with your fingers to ensure a perfect seal (Fig. 10).
5 Insert the cushion into the funnel-shaped section of the pump body (Fig. 11).
6 Push in the inner part of the cushion as far as possible and make sure that it is perfectly sealed all
around the rim of the pump body (Fig. 12).
7 Press in between the petals to remove any trapped air (Fig. 13).
Note: Place the cover over the cushion to keep the breast pump clean while you prepare for
expressing.
Warning: Always use the breast pump with a cushion.
