• Pumping may induce labor. Do not pump until after giving birth. If you become pregnant while breastfeeding or breast pumping, consult with a licensed healthcare professional before continuing.
• If infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pumping breast milk will not reduce or remove the risk of transmitting the virus to your baby through your breast milk.
• Wash all parts that come into contact with your breast and breast milk after every use.
• The tubing poses a risk of strangulation when being played with and small parts may be swallowed by toddlers.
  Close supervision is necessary when the breast pump or accessories are used in the vicinity of children.

CAUTION
To avoid fire or burns:

• Make sure the voltage of the power adaptor is compatible with the power source.
  See chapter 18 for technical specifications.

• Always unplug electrical products immediately after use except for when charging.
