Before you begin pumping, make sure that you have correctly washed, sanitized and assembled the

pump. Consult the ‘Preparing to Pump’ section on page 8 for tips on stimulating let-down and milk flow.

Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean. Relax in a comfortable chair and

lean slightly forward so that your milk flows easily down the pump funnel into the milk container

(you can use cushions to support your back).

Turn on Pump: Connect the power cord to the control

handle and plug into an electrical wall outlet if necessary.

Press and hold the One-Touch Memory Control until the

light flashes

ORANGE

and you hear the pump turn on

(this can take up to 5 seconds). Once the light turns a

solid

GREEN

, the pump is ready to use.

If the light is flashing

RED

, refer to the ‘Troubleshooting

Guide’ on page 23.

Create a Reliable Vacuum: Press the pump against your
breast to form a complete seal, ensuring that your nipple
fits into the funnel. Check you have a reliable vacuum by
compressing and releasing the control handle so you can
feel suction.

Initiate Let-down:To encourage let-down, lightly press
the handle in a way that feels comfortable and similar
to your baby’s initial rapid suckling action.The petals
on the Let-down Massage Cushion will flex in and
out around the areola, creating a massaging effect,
similar to baby’s natural mouth and jaw movements
during breastfeeding.You can choose to automate this
let-down phase by pressing the One-touch Memory
Control after two compressions (flashing

GREEN

light). Once your milk begins to flow, press the
One-touch Memory Control to return to manual
control (solid

GREEN

light)

.

CAUTION: LET-DOWN CAN OCCUR IMMEDIATELY, EVEN

AFTER JUST A FEW STROKES AND SHOULD NOT TAKE

LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES (REFER TO PREPARING TO

PUMP ON PAGE 8).

Milk Expression:To create a natural and effective breast
pumping rhythm that can be maintained for the rest of
your pumping session, compress the handle slowly and
more fully (to increase the intensity of the suction), hold
for 2-3 seconds and then slowly release. Once you are
happy with the level of suction and rhythm, after two
compressions, press the One-touch Memory Control
and your Electronic Breast Pump will continue your
personal pumping rhythm (flashing

GREEN

light).

Note:You do not need to compress the handle fully, only
until it feels comfortable.The further you compress the handle,
the more suction the pump will provide. If the pressure is
uncomfortable, stop the automated pumping by pressing the
One-touch Memory Control and break the seal between your
breast and pump funnel with your finger.

HELPFUL TIP!

Control Handle Light

HELPFUL TIP!

Let-down is your body’s physiological response to the suckling action of your baby
on the breast.This stimulates the breast to produce milk and send it towards the
nipple where it is available for baby.

Milk Expression occurs after let-down is achieved and milk begins to flow. It is
the phase that is induced by the baby’s deeper more comfortable suckling rhythm.
