Cleaning and Hygiene

Use drinking water quality for any of the following described cleaning procedures.
Clean parts immediately after use to avoid dry up of milk residues and to prevent from growth of bacteria.
Take care not to damage parts when using a brush.
Inspect all items before each use.
Replace parts if damaged or worn out.
For hygiene reasons, we recommend replacing teats after 3 months.
Note: Food colorings may discolor components which will not affect performance.
Follow these cleaning instructions unless you are told otherwise by your healthcare professional.
Do not leave a feeding teat in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant (“sterilizing solution”) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the teat.

Prior to first use and once daily
