Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifiers Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifiers. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use, care, and maintenance of your pacifiers. Designed for babies aged 6-18 months, these pacifiers feature an orthodontic design, extra-large airholes for breathability, and are made from soft, BPA-free silicone. The included sterilizing cases offer convenient hygiene solutions.

Product Overview

The Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifier set includes four pacifiers and two sterilizing/carrying cases. Each pacifier consists of a silicone nipple, a shield with extra-large airholes, and a small handle. The orthodontic nipple is designed to support natural oral development.

Safety Information

For your child's safety and health:

• Always inspect the pacifier before each use. Pull the pacifier in all directions. Discard at the first signs of damage or weakness.
• Do not attach pacifier to cords or ribbons as they are a strangulation hazard.
• Do not leave a pacifier in direct sunlight or near a heat source, or leave in disinfectant ('sterilizing solution') for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the nipple.
• Replace pacifiers after 4 weeks of use for hygiene and safety reasons.
• The pacifiers are BPA-free and made from 100% food-grade silicone.
• Philips Avent pacifiers are independently accredited by the Oral Health Foundation.

Setup

Before first use, clean the pacifier thoroughly. Place the pacifier in boiling water for 5 minutes, allow to cool, and squeeze out any trapped water from the nipple. This is to ensure hygiene.

Operating (Usage)

Offer the pacifier to your baby as needed for soothing. The orthodontic, symmetrical soft silicone nipple is designed to support natural mouth muscle movements and help lower the risk of malocclusion. The narrow neck nipple design helps reduce pressure on teeth and gums. The extra-large airholes allow your baby's skin to breathe, keeping it drier for ultimate soothing comfort.

An average of 98% of parents report that their baby accepts Philips Avent Ultra pacifiers with the textured silicone nipple.

Maintenance (Cleaning & Sterilization)

Regular cleaning and sterilization are crucial for your baby's health.

Cleaning

• Wash the pacifier thoroughly with warm water and mild soap before each use.
• Rinse well with clean water.

Sterilization using the Sterilizing Case

The included reusable carrying case doubles as a sterilizer for convenience.

1. Place the pacifiers into the sterilizing case.
2. Add 25ml (0.85 fl oz) of water to the case.
3. Close the case securely.
4. Place the case in a microwave oven and heat for 3 minutes at 750-1000W.
5. Allow the case to cool for 5 minutes before opening.
6. Carefully pour out any remaining water.

This method generates up to 50% less CO2 emissions compared to traditional sterilization methods (boiling).

Troubleshooting

• Condensation in Nipple: It is normal for some condensation to appear inside the nipple after sterilization, especially when using the microwave case. This does not affect the safety or performance of the pacifier. Simply allow it to air dry.
• Pacifier not accepted: While Philips Avent Ultra Air pacifiers have a high acceptance rate, some babies may prefer different shapes or textures. Continue to offer or try other Philips Avent pacifier styles if needed.
• Wear and Tear: If you notice any discoloration, stickiness, or tears in the silicone, discard the pacifier immediately and replace it with a new one.
