Philips Avent SCF813/14 Manual page 5

the pan contains enough water
and prevent the bottle or other
parts from touching the side
of the pan. This can cause
irreversible product deformation,
defect or damage that Philips
cannot be held liable for. Make
sure that you wash your hands
thoroughly and that the surfaces
are clean before contact with
sterilized parts. Place all bottle
parts on a clean paper towel
or on a clean drying rack and
allow them to air dry. Excessive
concentration of detergents
may eventually cause plastic
components to crack. Should
this occur, replace immediately.
This product is dishwasher safe
- food colourings may discolour
parts. Clean and sterilize all parts
before each use. For hygiene
reasons, we recommend
replacing teats after 3 months.
Assembly
When you assemble the bottle,
make sure you place the cap
vertically onto the bottle so that
the teat sits upright (see image
for more details). The teat is
easier to assemble if you wriggle
it upwards instead of pulling it
up in a straight line.
Maintenance teat and
AirFree™ vent insert
Do not leave a feeding teat and/
or AirFree™ vent insert in direct
sunlight or heat, or leave in
disinfectant ('sterilizing solution')
for longer than recommended, as
this may weaken the parts. Keep
parts in dry, covered container.
Choosing the right teat
for your baby
The Philips Avent teats are
separately available with
different flow rates to help
your baby with drinking.
Over time you can change
the teat accommodating the
individual needs of your baby.
Philips Avent teats are clearly
numbered on the side to
indicate flow rate. Make sure
you use a teat with the correct
flow rate when you feed your
baby. Use a lower flow rate if
your baby chokes, is leaking
milk or has trouble adjusting
to the drinking speed. Use a
higher flow rate if your baby
falls asleep during feeding, gets
frustrated or when feeding takes
a very long time. These Philips
Avent teats can be used on the
Philips Avent feeding bottle and
Philips Avent storage cups.
