Pumping instructions
Warning: Always switch off the breast pump before you remove
the collection cup from your breast, in order to release the vacuum.
Warning: Do not continue pumping for more than five minutes at
a time if you do not succeed in expressing any milk. Try to express at
another time during the day.
Warning: If the process becomes very uncomfortable or painful,
stop using the breast pump and consult your healthcare
professional.
Caution: The vacuum level generated by the device is sensitive to the
ambient atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the generated vacuum
is less intense.
1 Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Clean your breast and
nipple prior to placing the collection cup.
2 Place the assembled collection cup into your bra, on your breast, with the
pouring spout (opening) positioned at the top (Fig. 17).
3 Make sure that the nipple is in the center of the breast shield.
4 Press and hold the on/off button until the device switches on (Fig. 2). The
indicator lights go on to indicate that the device is in stimulation mode.
5 You can look through the top of the transparent cup to check whether the
collection cup is positioned properly, and whether the nipple is moving.
Your nipple should be in the center of the breast shield and should move in
and out of the funnel (Fig. 17).
6 The breast pump starts in the stimulation mode and slowly increases its
vacuum to the last used stimulation suction level (or level 5 when used for
the first time) (Fig. 18).
7 The display shows the running time (Fig. 19).
8 Use the 'level up' and 'level down' buttons to change the suction level to
your preference (Fig. 20).
9 After 90 seconds, the breast pump smoothly switches to expression mode
and slowly increases its vacuum to the last used expression suction level (or
level 11 when used for the first time) (Fig. 21).
10 If your milk starts flowing earlier, or if you do not have a milk flow after
90 seconds (and want to switch back to the stimulation mode), you can
switch modes with the mode selection button (Fig. 22).
11 Briefly press the on/off button if you want to pause. To continue, briefly
press the on/off button again.
12 Press and hold the on/off button to switch off (Fig. 2).
