Troubleshooting Guide - CANGAROO GENTLE TOUCH Bedienungsanleitung

3. For breastfeeding mothers who breastfeed every 2-3 hours, we do not recommend sterilizing and cleaning after each
use. Excessive disinfection and cleaning can easily lead to premature aging of parts and shorten the life of the breast
pump. Thorough cleaning of stains and sterilization once a day is recommended.
4. Store the parts in a clean container until the next use.
IMPORTANT! If you use the breast pump as a means of storing milk, you must take care to disinfect all washable parts of
the pump, because otherwise, the milk can easily spoil, as it is a product that is difficult to store.
ATTENTION! Before use, make sure that the pump body, valve, piston and cover are dry.
1. Lack of suction:
• Check if you have assembled all parts correctly and if the valve is positioned correctly.
• Ensure that the silicone massage pad and the shield brace are fitted securely to the pump body and a perfect seal is
created.
• Check if you have placed the silicone valve firmly to the opening of the pump body.
• Check whether there are any damaged parts.
If you can not turn the pump on, check whether the battery is exhausted. Connect the adapter to the terminal for
charging the motor.
2. No milk is being expressed:
• Check point 1
• Ensure the pump is correctly assembled and that suction is being created.
• Relax and try again.
•There are 15 levels of expression, the maximum power is 42kPa; the average suction power of the baby is 20 – 30 kPa.
We recommend you increase the levels gradually; the most suitable level is the one, with which the suction is painless.
The following is NOT true: the stronger – the better. Too strong suction can hurt the nipple.
3. Pain in the breast area where there is expression:
• If you feel pain and no milk flows during expression, maybe your mammary gland is blocked. This case may result in
mastitis. Contact a physician promptly. The complete milk expression will have good effect on mastitis protection.
•You may be using too high level of suction. You do not need to use all the suction that the pump can generate.
•Try to adjust the proper suction and frequency.
• Consult your health professional/ breastfeeding advisor.
4. Flow is too slow:
The speed of milk flow differs for every woman. The higher degree and level of expression do not mean faster flow of
milk. This depends on many factors – constitution of the breast, level of possibility, even the mood.
•The more regularly you use the breast pump, the quicker and easier the flow of milk. Before you start using it, put a
warm cloth on your breasts and use the massage mode for about 5 minutes before you switch to expression mode.
5. Milk is dropping down the silicone massage pad:
• Remove and refit again the massage pad in order to ensure it is firmly attached to the central part of the funnel.
• Try to lean slightly forward.
6. Cracking and discoloration of the pump/ feeding bottle parts:
Avoid contact with antibacterial or abrasive detergents/ cleaners as they can damage the plastic. Combination of
detergents, cleaning products, sterilizing solution, softened water and temperature fluctuations can cause plastic to crack.
If this occurs, please, do not use. The pump body and the breast milk containers are dishwasher safe but the food
colorings may cause discoloring them. Keep the product out of direct sunlight as prolonged exposure
may lead to discoloration.
7. Lost or broken parts:
For spare parts contact an authorized service center or the sales agent from whom you have purchased the product. Do
not use spare parts, which are not approved or supplied by the manufacturer.
•Do not attempt to repair or to modify the product, because this may endanger Your and Your baby's health.

safe use and maintenance of the electric breast pump. When having questions regarding the use, maintenance and repair
of the product, please, contact the importer or sales agent from whom you have purchased the product.
