Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To fully benet from the support
that Philips Avent oers, 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
to mimic your baby’s suckling action to provide milk ow - comfortably and gently. The power
cushion is designed for stronger suction. 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 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, even if you cannot be there to provide it yourself. As the pump is compact, quiet
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.
This breast pump is for household use only.
*The cushions included with this pump were designed to comfortably t the majority of mothers.
However, if you need it, you can buy a larger cushion separately.

the General Description section to see which items are included with your breast pump.
Breast pump parts:
-Silicone diaphragm
-Pump body
-Massage cushion
-White valve
-Cover
-Power cushion
Bottle parts:
-Philips Avent Natural bottle
-Dome cap
-Screw ring
-Teat
-Sealing disc
Accessories
-Philips Avent storage cup
-Philips Avent storage cup adapter
Supplies needed for cleaning:

thoroughly (Fig. 2).
Washing in dishwasher: Clean the parts, except the motor unit, the silicone tube and cap and
the adapter, in the dishwasher (on the top rack only).
Note: To clean the valve, rub it gently between your ngers in warm water with some washing-
up liquid. Do not insert objects into the valve, as this may cause damage.
10 English

Disinfection (optional)
After cleaning, if you also want to disinfect, you can boil the parts in water in a household pot.
Supplies needed for disinfection:
-A household pot
-High-quality drinking water
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 oer 3 soft exible cushions:
-a 19.5 mm massage cushion (supplied with your breast pump) (Fig. 4)
-25 mm massage cushion (not included) (Fig. 5)
-27 mm power cushion (only included in SCF332/35) (Fig. 6)
1 Start with the standard 19.5 mm massage cushion supplied with your breast pump. You can nd
the size of the cushion on the cushion itself (Fig. 7).
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 eective expression (Fig. 8).
3 If you prefer stronger suction or if you need a larger cushion size, you can try the 27 mm
power cushion (Fig. 9). This cushion is only included in SCF332/35 and it is not available as a
separate accessory.
Assembling the breast pump
Note: Make sure you have cleaned and anitized 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 nd 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. 10).
3 Screw the pump body clockwise onto the bottle until it is securely xed (Fig. 11).
4 Insert the silicone diaphragm into the pump body from above. Make sure it ts securely around
the rim by pressing down with your ngers to ensure a perfect seal (Fig. 12).
5 Insert the cushion into the funnel-shaped section of the pump body (Fig. 13).
11
English

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. 14).
7 Press in between the petals to remove any trapped air (Fig. 15).
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.
8 Insert the adapter into the wall socket and insert the plug at the other end into the motor unit (Fig. 16).
The adapter reference code is indicated on the bottom of the appliance. Only use the indicated
adapter with the appliance.
-For battery operation (single electric breast pump only), turn the bottom of the motor unit
in the direction indicated by the marks on the bottom (step 1 (Fig. 17)) and remove it (step 2
(Fig. 17)). Insert four new 1.5V AA batteries (or 1.2V, in case of rechargeable batteries) into the
battery housing. Check the markings on the housing of the battery for the correct polarity.
Reattach the bottom to the motor unit.
Note: A new set of batteries provides 1-3 hours of operating time. Rechargeable batteries will
lose capacity over time and may cause a decrease in operating time.
Note: If you have inserted batteries in the battery housing of the motor unit and plug in the
adapter, the breast pump will run from on electrical power. The batteries cannot be charged in
the unit.
Warning: Do not mix dierent type of batteries.
Warning: Do not mix used and new batteries.
9 Attach the silicone tube and cap onto the diaphragm. Push down the cap until it is securely in
place (Fig. 18).
Using the breast pump
When to express milk
If breastfeeding goes well, 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) before you start expressing.
Exceptions:
-If breastfeeding does not go well immediately, 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
-Familiarize 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
Avent Thermopad 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 (Fig. 19).
For twin electric breast pump users: 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. Attach both assembled pump bodies to the silicone tube and cap.
We recommend to place the cover over the other one.
4 Make sure that your nipple ts correctly in the cushion. See for correct size of cushion, section
"Find the best cushion for you".
5 Press the on/o button (Fig. 20).
-The breast pump automatically starts up in stimulation mode and the on/o button and the
stimulation button light up.
-You begin to feel the suction on your breast.
6 Once your milk starts owing, you can adopt a slower rhythm by pressing the lowest suction
button (Fig. 21).
-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.
7 Depending on your own personal comfort, you may wish to use a higher suction mode that
provides deeper suction. You can always return to a lower suction mode (Fig. 22). You can turn
o the breast pump whenever you like by pressing the on/o button (Fig. 23).
Note: You do not need to use all suction modes, only use the modes that are comfortable for you.
Warning: Always turn o the breast pump before you remove the pump body from
your breast to release the vacuum.
Warning: 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.
8 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 purchase and use a
260ml/9 oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent overlling and spillage.
13
English

9 When you have nished expressing, turn o the breast pump (Fig. 23) and carefully remove the
pump body from your breast.
10 Unscrew the bottle from the pump body. You have multiple options:
-Insert a disinfected sealing disc into a disinfected screw ring and screw this onto the bottle (Fig. 24).
The expressed milk in the bottle is ready for storage.
-Alternatively, assemble a disinfected teat and screw ring onto the bottle according to the
instructions (see 'Feeding'). Seal the teat with the dome cap (Fig. 25).
11 Unplug the adapter from the wall outlet to disconnect the appliance from the electrical power.
Unplug the motor unit from the adapter. Unplug the silicone tube and cap from the silicone
diaphragm. For easy storage, wrap the silicone tube around the motor unit and clip the cap
onto the tube (Fig. 26).
12 Clean the other used parts of the breast pump according to the instructions in section
‘Cleaning and disinfection’.
Storing breast milk
Warning: Only store breast milk collected with a cleaned and optionally disinfected
pump to ensure hygiene.
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 disinfected bottle or storage cup. Breast milk can be stored in the freezer
for up to three months as long as it is kept in either disinfected bottles tted with a disinfected screw
ring and sealing disc or disinfected storage cups. Clearly label the bottle or storage cup 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 bottle or storage cup.
Do’s
-Always refrigerate or freeze expressed milk immediately.
-Only store milk collected with a disinfected breast pump in disinfected bottles.
Don’ts
-Never refreeze thawed breast milk.
-Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk.
Compatibility
The Philips Avent electric breast pump is compatible with Philips Avent bottles in our range and
Philips Avent Storage cups. When you use other Philips Avent bottles, use the same type of teat
that was supplied with that bottle. For details on how to assemble the teat and general cleaning
instructions, see 'Feeding' and 'Cleaning'. These details can also be found on our website,
www.philips.com/support.
-Spare teats are available separately Make sure you use a teat with the correct ow rate when you
feed your baby. To buy accessories or spare parts, visit www.philips.com/parts-and-accessories
or go to your Philips dealer. You can also contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country.
-Do not mix Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle parts and teats with parts of the Philips Avent Natural
bottles. They may not t and could cause leakage or other issues.
-The high-quality plastic Philips Avent Natural bottle is compatible with most Philips Avent
breast pumps, spouts, sealing discs and cup tops.
14 English

Feeding
You can feed your baby with breast milk from Philips Avent bottles and storage cups.
For your child's safety and health
Warning
Warnings to prevent harm to children:
-Always use bottles and teats with adult supervision. Do not allow your child to play with small
parts or walk/run while using bottles or cups.
-Never use feeding teats as a soother, to prevent choking hazard.
-Continuous and prolonged sucking of uids will cause tooth decay.
-Always check the temperature of the food before you feed your baby to prevent burns.
-Throw away any part at the rst signs of damage or weakness.
-Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children.
-Do not alter the product or parts of it in any way. This may result in unsafe functioning of the
product.
Caution
Cautions to avoid damage to the product:
-Do not place in a heated oven, plastic can melt.
-Plastic material properties may be aected by disinfection and high temperatures. This can
aect the t of the dome cap.
-Do not leave a feeding teat in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant for longer than
recommended, as this may damage the product.
Before rst use
Before rst use, disassemble all parts, clean and optionally disinfect the bottle. Inspect the bottle
and feeding teat before each use and pull the feeding teat in all directions to prevent a choking
hazard. Throw away at the rst signs of damage or weakness.
Cleaning bottles
To ensure hygiene, clean the parts of the bottle mentioned in section 'Cleaning' before each use.
Also clean all parts after each subsequent use. You can optionally disinfect by following the
instructions in section 'Disinfection (optional)' .
Make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly and that the surfaces are clean before contact
with cleaned components. Excessive concentration of detergents may eventually cause plastic
components to crack. Should this occur, replace immediately. Inspect the bottle and feeding teat
before each use and pull the feeding teat in all directions to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away
any part at the rst signs of damage or weakness.
15
English

Assembling bottles
When you assemble the bottle, make sure that you place the cap vertically onto the bottle so that
the teat sits upright (Fig. 27). To remove the cap, place your hand over the cap and your thumb in
the dimple of the cap (Fig. 28). The teat is easier to assemble if you wriggle it upwards instead of
pulling it up in a straight line (Fig. 29). Make sure that you pull the teat through until its lower part is
even with the screw ring (Fig. 30).
Heating breast milk
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.
Heat the bottle or storage cup with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water or in
a bottle warmer. Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the bottle or remove the lid from the
storage cup.
Always stir or shake heated food to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature before
serving. Take extra care when you heat up food in a microwave as heating food in a microwave
oven may produce localized high temperatures.
Note: We do not recommend heating breast milk in the microwave because when breast milk
becomes too warm, nutrients and vitamins are damaged.
Note: You can purchase and use Philips Avent bottle warmer to heat up the milk.
Maintenance and storage of bottles
Inspect the bottle and feeding teat before each use and pull the feeding teat in all directions
to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away at the rst signs of damage or weakness. For hygiene
reasons, we recommend replacing teats after 3 months. Keep teats in a dry, covered container.
When not in use, do not leave the teats in sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant ('sterilizing
solution') for longer than recommended, as this may weaken them. Do not place in a heated oven.
Store the bottles in a dry location.
Additional information
The Philips Avent teats are available with dierent ow rates to help your baby drink. Over time,
you can change the teat to accommodate the individual needs of your baby.
Choosing the right teat for your baby
The Philips Avent teats are available with dierent ow 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 ow rate. Make sure you use a teat with the
correct ow rate when you feed your baby. Use a lower ow rate if your baby chokes, is leaking
milk or has trouble adjusting to the drinking speed. Use a higher ow rate if your baby falls asleep
during feeding, gets frustrated or when feeding takes a very long time.
Teats are available for 0m, 0m+, 1m+, 3m+, 6m+, variable ow (I/II/III) and thick feed (Y).
