Step-by-step instructions
1. Wash your hands with soap and water, dry them thoroughly before assembling parts for expressing.
2. Relax in a comfortable chair. Position the breast shield against your breast. Make sure that your nipple is centered so that breast shield creates an airtight seal.
3. Press the on/off button. The breast pump will automatically start in massage mode. To change the level of the massage, use the Increase and Reduce buttons.
4. Massage mode will run for two minutes and then automatically change to the express mode used when the pump was last turned off. If you feel the letdown sooner, or when breastmilk begins to flow, press Mode key to change from massage to express mode.
5. You can press Mode again to change to deep express mode (this is not recommended for beginners). Use the Increase and Reduce buttons to choose the level that is most comfortable for you.
6. Once the flow of breastmilk begins to slow down, finish pumping. Use the On/Off button to turn the breast pump off.
7. Remove the pump from your breast and remove the tubing from the membrane cap.
Different modes:
Massage Mode: Fast frequency and light suction to stimulate milk flow
Expression Mode: Used after let-down. Fewer cycles per minute with stronger suction for efficient milk removal
Deep Expression Mode: Even fewer cycles with slower suction. Great for blocked milk ducts
Mixed Mode 1: Mixed mode adds a cycle of Massage mode in between each Expression mode cycle
Mixed Mode 2: Mixed mode adds a cycle of Massage mode in between each Deep Expression mode cycle
Note: It is recommended to charge the breast pump after each pumping.
Yes, you can. For single breast pumping, insert unused short tubing back into Y-shape tubing connector. This closes the vacuum loop. Or swap Y-shape tubing with single tubing.
Fully charge the battery before you use the breast pump for the first time and when the battery is low. Fully charging the battery takes up to 3-4 hours. Charged battery operates 4-6 pumping sessions
If battery indicator flashes red, battery requires charging. To charge, insert power cable into connection point on left side of motor unit, plug into a power outlet and switch on at the outlet. Charge until battery indicator light is continuously green. Switch power off at outlet. Disconnect both pump and power outlet before use.

Once you are expressing, if you have any discomfort or concerns, we recommend talking to a Lactation Consultant.
