Lack of suction


No milk being expressed

Pain in the breast area
when expressing

Milk is drawn up the
Let-down Massage
Cushion

Cracking/discolouration
of pump parts

Lost or broken parts

Check that all the pump components have been
assembled correctly and that the white valve is the right
way up. Ensure that the diaphragm and Let-down Massage
Cushion are fitted securely to the pump body and a
perfect seal is created.

Ensure suction is created and the pump is
correctly assembled. Relax and try again, expression may
improve after practice. Please refer to the ‘Hints to help
you succeed’ section.

You may be pumping too hard. You do not need to use
all the suction the pump can generate. Try depressing
the handle halfway and remember the 2-3 second
pumping rhythm. Consult your health professional/
breastfeeding advisor.

Remove and refit the Let-down Massage Cushion
ensuring it is firmly attached and pushed far enough
down the funnel. Try leaning slightly forward.

Avoid contact with antibacterial or abrasive detergents/
cleaners as these can damage the plastic. Combinations
of detergents, cleaning products, sterilising solution,
softened water and temperature fluctuations may, under
certain circumstances, cause the plastic to crack. If this

occurs, do not use. Contact Philips AVENT Customer
Services for spare parts. The pump is dishwasher safe
but food colourings may discolour components. Keep the
product out of direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure
may cause discolouration.

Spare parts are available through Philips AVENT
Customer Services (see back cover for contact details)

If you are still experiencing problems, please contact Philips AVENT Customer
Services (see back cover for contact details). Alternatively contact your health
professional/breastfeeding advisor.
