CARE OF PARTS • Excessive and frequent boiling or exposure to heat may
cause wear and tear to the plastic and silicone parts. These
parts can be replaced via www.milkbarnewzealand.com.
• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this
may affect the suction. Take particular care of the soft
silicone insert valve as this is very thin silicone and can be
prone to damage during cleaning and use.
• Parts may be washed in the dishwasher using the top rack
only.
• Place all clean parts on top of a paper towel or hang on a
drying rack and allow to air dry.
• Avoid using cloth towels, as they can carry germs and
bacteria that may contaminate breastmilk.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before use; wet or damp
parts will cause poor suction. Once parts are completely dry,
reassemble the breast shield set.
CLEANING THE TUBES • The Milkbar Premium Care breast pump has a closed system
therefore cleaning the tubes is not necessary. If you happen
to see moisture in the tubes after pumping, remove the
tubes from the cap and pump unit and allow to air dry until
all moisture is gone. Do not attempt to use the pump if there
is moisture in tubing, instead switch to the spare tubing
included with your pump.
CLEANING THE PUMP
UNIT • Sanitise your pump unit using any disinfectant wipes, by
wiping off the tubing connector points from time-to-time.
Wipe down the pump unit with a clean damp cloth or paper
towel prior to each use.
SAFETY
RECOMMENDATIONS • Wash your hands prior to touching the breast pump and the
breast pump parts.
• Avoid touching the inner part of a collection bottle where the
milk comes into contact.
• Wash all parts that come into contact with your breasts and
breast milk immediately after each use, to avoid the growth
of any bacteria from milk residue.
• Electrical pump units must never be exposed to water
or other liquids for cleaning. It must not be sterilised in a
microwave steriliser.
• Please note if you are a mother who is infected with hepatitis
B, hepatitis C or human immunodeciency virus (HIV),
pumping breast milk will not reduce or remove the risk of
transmitting the virus to your baby through your breast milk.
