Important safeguards
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR PHILIPS AVENT TWIN
ELECTRONIC BREAST PUMP
When using electrical products, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electrocution or other personal injury:
• Always unplug from the electrical wall socket immediately after use.
• Do not use while bathing.
• Do not place or store the product where it can fall or be pulled into a bath or sink.
• Do not place or drop the pump motor, control handle, electric adaptor or wall plug lead into water or other liquids.
• Do not reach for a product that has fallen into water. Unplug from the electrical wall socket immediately.
• Do not allow children or pets to play with the pump motor, tubing, power supply or accessories as these parts may
pose a choking or strangulation danger.
• Before each use inspect the product, including mains power lead, for signs of damage. Never operate this product
if it has a damaged lead or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or has been
submerged in water.
• Only use attachments recommended by Philips AVENT.
• Do not use outdoors with the wall plug lead or where aerosol spray products are being used, or where oxygen
is being administered.
• Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anaesthetic mixture with air, or with oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
• Only use the electric adaptor supplied with the product.
• Ensure the unit is not exposed to extreme heat or placed in direct sunlight.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside the breast pump. Do not attempt to open, service or repair the
breast pump yourself.
• Keep leads away from heated surfaces.
• The parts of the pump which come directly into contact with milk are personal care items and should not be shared
between mothers. The only parts which can be shared are the pump motor, the control handle, the tubing and the
double pumping connector.
• Do not attempt to remove the pump body from the breast while under vacuum. Turn the unit off and break the seal
between your breast and the pump funnel with your finger, then remove the pump from your breast.
• Never use while pregnant as pumping can induce labour.
• Never use when sleepy or drowsy.
• This appliance is intended for use by responsible persons, keep out of reach of small children and the infirm.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons including children with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTION – To reduce the risks of injury, device malfunction or failure:
• The product should not be left unattended when plugged into an electrical wall socket.
• Never drop or insert any foreign object into any opening or tubing.
• Do not shorten the tubing.
• Make sure the voltage of the electrical adaptor is compatible with the power source.
• Plug the electric adaptor into the pump motor first, then securely attach the wall plug lead into the electric adaptor.
Lastly, insert the plug into electrical wall socket.
• Although compliant with applicable EMC directives, this equipment may still be susceptible to excessive emissions
and/or may interfere with more sensitive material.
• Wash, rinse and sterilise the appropriate pump parts before each use.
• Do not continue pumping for more than five minutes at a time if no result is achieved.
• Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/detergents when cleaning breast pump parts.
• Never put the control handle or breast pump motor in water or steriliser, as you can cause permanent damage
to the pump.

the breast and the pump body with your finger and remove the pump from your breast.
