Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent!
To fully benet from the support that Philips Avent offers,
register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.
The Philips Avent breast pump has a unique design that enables
you to sit in a more comfortable position while expressing.The soft
massage cushion* is designed to feel soft and warm and imitates
your baby’s sipping action to provide fast milk ow - comfortably
and gently.The breast pump starts in a gentle mode that helps to
stimulate your milk ow. You can then choose from three suction
modes, according to your own personal comfort. The pump is easy
to assemble and operate and all parts that come into contact with
breast milk are dishwasher-safe.
Healthcare professionals say that breast milk is the best nutrition
for babies during the rst year, combined with solid food after the
rst 6 months. Your breast milk is specially adapted to your baby’s
needs and contains antibodies which help protect your baby against
infection and allergies.
A breast pump can help you to breastfeed longer. You can express
and store your milk so that your baby can still enjoy the benets of
it, even if you cannot be there to provide it yourself. As the pump
is compact and discrete to use, you can take it with you anywhere,
allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain
your milk supply.
*The cushion included with this pump was designed to comfortably
t the majority of mothers. However, should you need it, you can
buy a cushion for larger nipples separately.

Using the breast pump
When to express milk
If breastfeeding goes well for you, it is advisable (unless advised
otherwise by your healthcare professional/breastfeeding advisor) to
wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are established
(normally at least 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth).
Exceptions:
- If breastfeeding does not immediately work for you, expressing
regularly can help to establish and maintain your milk supply.
-If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
- If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen): you can
express a small amount of milk before or between feeds to ease
the pain and to help your baby latch on more easily.
- If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express
your milk until they are healed.
-If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to
breastfeed when you are reunited, you should express your milk
regularly to stimulate your milk supply.
You need to nd the optimum times of the day to express your milk,
for example just before or after your baby’s rst feed in the morning
when your breasts are full, or after a feed if your baby has not
emptied both breasts. If you have returned to work, you may need
to express during a break.
Using a breast pump requires practice and it may take several
attempts before you succeed. Fortunately, the Philips Avent electric
breast pump is easy to assemble and use so you will soon get used
to expressing with it.

Tips
-Familiarise yourself with the breast pump and how to operate it
before you use it for the rst time.
-Choose a time when you are not in a rush and will not be
interrupted.
- A photograph of your baby can help encourage the ‘let-down’
reex.
- Warmth can also help: try to express after a bath or shower, or
place a warm cloth or Philips AventThermopad on the breast
for a few minutes before you start expressing.
- You may nd it easier to express while your baby is feeding from
the other breast, or immediately after a feed.
- If expressing becomes painful, stop and consult your
breastfeeding advisor or healthcare professional.
Operating the breast pump
1 Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts
are clean.
2 Relax in a comfortable chair (you may wish to use cushions
to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water
nearby.
3 Press the assembled pump body against your breast.
Make sure that your nipple is centered, so that the massage
cushion creates an airtight seal.
SCF334:The twin electric breast pump enables you to express milk
from both breasts at the same time. However, you can also use the
appliance to express from one breast in just the same way.
4 Press the on/off button.
,The breast pump automatically starts up in stimulation mode
and the on/off button and the stimulation button light up.
,You begin to feel the suction on your breast.
5 Once your milk starts owing, you can adopt a slower rhythm
by pressing the lowest suction button.
,This button lights up instead of the stimulation button.
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not ow immediately. Relax and
continue pumping. The rst few times you use the breast pump, you may
need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk owing.
ENGLISH 11

6 Depending on your own personal comfort, you may wish to
use a higher suction mode that provides deeper suction.
You can return to a lower suction mode, or switch off the
breast pump whenever you like by pressing the appropriate
button.
Note:You do not need to use all suction modes, only use the modes that
are comfortable for you.
Always switch off the breast pump before you remove the pump
body from your breast.
Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if you
do not succeed in expressing any milk. Try to express at another
time during the day. If the process becomes very uncomfortable or
painful, stop using the pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor.
7 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express
60-125ml (2-4 oz) of breast milk from one breast.
However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to
woman.
Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can use
a 260ml/9 oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent overlling and spillage.
8 When you have nished expressing, switch off the breast pump
and carefully remove the pump body from your breast.
9 Unscrew the container from the pump body ready for
feeding/storage. Clean the other used parts of the breast
pump according to the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning and
sterilising’.
10 Unplug the motor unit. For easy storage, wrap the silicone
tube around the motor unit and clip the cap onto the tube.
After use
Storing breast milk
Only store breast milk collected with a sterile pump.
Breast milk can be stored in the fridge (not in the door) for up to
48 hours. Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately. If you
store milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add milk that
has been expressed into a sterilised bottle or breast milk container.
Breast milk can be stored in the freezer for up to three months as
long as it is kept in either sterilised containers tted with a sterilised
screw ring and sealing disc. Clearly label the container with the date
and time of expression and use older breast milk rst.
If you intend to feed your baby with the expressed breast milk within
48 hours, you can store the breast milk in the fridge in an assembled
Philips Avent container:
ENGLISH12

1 Unscrew the container and remove it from the pump body.
2 Assemble a sterilised teat and screw ring onto the container.
Seal the teat with the dome cap.
3 Alternatively, insert a sterilised sealing disc into a sterilised
screw ring and screw this onto the container.
Do’s
- Always refrigerate or freeze expressed milk immediately.
-Only store milk collected with a sterilised breast pump in
sterilised containers.
Don’ts
- Never refreeze thawed breast milk.
- Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk.
Feeding your baby expressed breast milk

and storage cups:
1 If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you
heat it.
Note: In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot
water.
2 Heat the bottle or storage cup with defrosted or refrigerated
breast milk in a bowl of hot water or in a bottle warmer.
3 Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the container or
remove the lid from the storage cup.
4
If you are using a storage cup, screw the adapter ring onto the cup.
5 Screw a sterilised screw ring with sterilised teat onto the
container or onto the storage cup with adapter ring.
Do’s
-Always check the temperature of the milk before you feed it to
your baby.
-Always discard any breast milk that is left over at the end of a feed.
Don’ts

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could
encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem
with the information below, contact the Consumer Care Centre in
your country or visit us online at www.philips.com/support.
ENGLISH 15

Problem Solution
I experience pain when
I use the breast pump.
Stop using the breast pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor.
If the pump body does not come away easily from the breast, it may
be necessary to break the vacuum by placing a nger between the
breast and the massage cushion.
The breast pump is
scratched.
In case of regular use, some light scratching is normal and does not
cause problems. However, if a part of the breast pump becomes badly
scratched or if it cracks, stop using the breast pump and contact the
Philips Consumer Care Centre to obtain a replacement part. Be aware
that combinations of cleaning agents, sterilising solution, softened
water and temperature uctuations may, under certain circumstances,
cause the plastic to crack. Avoid contact with abrasive or antibacterial
detergents as these can damage the plastic.
The breast pump does
not work and the on/off
button ashes.
First check if you have assembled the breast pump correctly and make
sure that there is no kink in the tube. If you are using SCF332 with
batteries, replace the batteries according to the instructions in chapter
‘Preparing for use’, action 5. If you are using SCF334 or SCF332 on
mains electricity, check to make sure you are using the adapter that
was supplied with the product. If the problem persists, contact the
Consumer Care Centre in your country.
I do not feel any suction. Check if you have assembled the breast pump correctly by following
the steps in chapter ‘Preparing for use’. Make sure the silicone tube is
rmly attached to the motor unit and to the cap and diaphragm.
I need to replace the
silicone tube, but do not
know how to remove it.
To remove the tube, grab it close to the motor unit and pull while
twisting it. To reconnect the tube, ease the tube back onto the
connector on the motor unit with a slight twisting motion. Make sure it
is securely attached.
