° Check for any damaged pump parts and replace if necessary.
° Check that all the pump components have been assembled
correctly and that the white valve is positioned correctly.
° Ensure that the silicone diaphragm and Let-down Massage Cushion
are fitted securely to the pump body and that a perfect seal is created
around your breast.
° Make sure the Let-down Massage Cushion is pushed far enough
down the center of the funnel. Run your thumb on the flat
surface between each petal to ensure there are no air pockets.
° Make certain that the control handle is firmly in place.
° Ensure the pump is correctly assembled and that suction
is being created.
° Relax and try again, as expression may improve after practice.
° Refer to the ‘Preparing to Pump’ section on page 8.
° You may be squeezing too hard.You do not need to use
all the suction the pump can generate.Try compressing
the handle halfway.
° Try squeezing the handle more gently and remember the 2-3 second
pumping rhythm (refer to ‘Pumping with Your Electronic Breast Pump’
on page 13).
° Consult your health professional/breastfeeding advisor.
° Try leaning slightly forward so your milk flows easily down the pump funnel
and into the milk container (you can use cushions to support your back).
° Remove and re-fit the Let-down Massage Cushion to ensure it is
firmly attached and pushed far enough down the center of the funnel
(This is easier if assembled while wet).
° Some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down
Massage Cushion.The Let-down Massage Cushion has petals that
flex in and out to gently massage the area around the areola.This
is intended to help stimulate a fast, natural milk flow.When using
the breast pump without the Let-down Massage Cushion, the
maximum vacuum level achievable will be higher.

° The pump must be switched off via the control button in order to
separate these parts. If the batteries go flat mid-pumping, you may
experience difficulty. Replace the batteries or connect the pump to an
electrical outlet.Turn the pump on by holding down the One-touch
Memory Control until the light flashes ORANGE and you hear the
pump turn on (this can take up to 5 seconds).When the light turns to
a solid GREEN , press and hold the One-touch Memory Control again,
to turn the pump off.The light will go out and you can now disconnect
the pump from the power supply and separate the parts (refer to
‘Disassembling Your Electronic Pump’ on page 6).
° Avoid contact with antibacterial or abrasive detergents/cleaners as
they can damage the plastic. Combinations of detergents, cleaning
products, sterilizing solution, softened water and temperature
fluctuations may, under certain circumstances, cause the plastic to
crack. If this occurs, do not use.The pump body and breast milk
containers are dishwasher safe but food colorings may discolor
them. Follow guidelines in ‘Cleaning and Sanitizing Your Pump’
on page 7.
Lost or damaged parts
° Use the spare parts included with your Single Electronic Breast
Pump or contact Philips AVENT for replacements. Call
1.800.54.AVENT or visit www.philips.com/AVENT
° Ensure the pump is correctly assembled and switched on
with the power indicator illuminated GREEN.
° Make sure the cord between the electrical wall outlet
or battery pack and the pump is correctly connected.
° If using the battery pack, use recommended batteries and
check they are inserted correctly.
Pump not responding
Pump light
flashing RED
° Pump light flashing RED with delays (3 flashes, delay, 3 flashes etc.): If the
pump works properly in Manual Control Mode but does not replicate in
Automatic Mode, the handle rhythm may have been too fast for optimal
milk expression.The machine is set not to follow. Push the control button
to return to Manual Control Mode and use a slower handle rhythm.
If this does not help and the power light still flashes RED, the pump has
detected a vacuum fault. Disconnect the power and check the control
handle and diaphragm for obstruction or damage.
° Pump light flashing RED continuously: Low battery warning. Replace
the batteries.
