the control handle (a), battery pack (i) or mains power lead (j). These components DO NOT come into contact with your breast milk. You can wipe the control handle clean, using a soft cloth. Cleaning and sterilising the pump body and breast milk storage components Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time before use, you must disassemble, wash and sterilise all the breast pump parts that come into contact with your breast milk. You can use the dishwasher (top rack only) or hand wash in warm, soapy water and then rinse thoroughly. Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/ detergents as they may cause the plastic to crack. To clean the valve, rub gently between your fingers in warm soapy water – do not insert objects as this may cause damage. Sterilise these parts in a steam steriliser (electronic, electric or microwave), or by boiling in water for 5 minutes. Keepingyourpumpsterilised and compact for travel After sterilising all parts, insert the white valve and diaphragm into the pump body. Clip the funnel cover (h) over the funnel and Let-down Massage Cushion (g) and screw the sealing base (n) onto the pump body (d) in place of the milk container. 9 10How to use your pump (see diagram E) Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean. Relax in a comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby as expressing can be thirsty work. A photograph of your baby will help too. To begin pumping

1. Switch on at the wall socket if using mains power. To turn the pump on, press

and hold the control button for 2 seconds. The light on the top of the control handle will flash ORANGE and then turn to a solid GREEN to indicate that the pump is ready to use. If at any time the light is flashing red, stop and consult the ‘Troubleshooting guide’.

2. Bring the assembled pump to your breast. Position the cushion firmly onto

your breast so as to create a perfect seal (ensure no strand of hair or piece of clothing is trapped). Using the control handle you can find your exact comfort level. As you press down on the handle, you will feel greater suction against your breast. You don’t need to squeeze the handle fully, only as far as feels comfortable for you.

3. Once comfortable, begin by gently squeezing the handle 5 or 6 times quite

quickly, simulating the rapid suckling you usually feel when your baby is first put to the breast. Your milk will soon begin to flow and you can establish a slower, comfortable pumping pattern. Many mothers find that holding down the handle for 2 to 3 seconds at a time imitates the feeling of their baby breastfeeding.

4. When you have established a comfortable pumping rhythm with at least

2 squeezes, simply press the control button on the handle, and the Electronic Breast Pump will automatically continue in the same way. The light on the control handle will turn from solid GREEN to a flashing GREEN. Your pattern will now be stored in the pump’s memory – even after the pump has been switched off! How to assemble your pump (see diagram D)

1. With clean hands, insert the white valve (c) into the pump body (d) from the

bottom making sure that the pointed side of the valve faces downwards.

2. Twist the milk container (e) onto the pump body (d) until securely in place.

3. To ensure the pump doesn’t topple, insert the 125ml/4oz milk container

into the stand provided (f).

4. Place the silicone diaphragm (b) into the pump body (d), making sure

it fits securely around the edge, to create a seal (this is easier if the diaphragm is wet).

5. Carefully insert the Let-down Massage Cushion (g) into the pump body

(d), making sure it completely covers the edge of the funnel (this is easier if the Let-down Massage Cushion is wet).

6. Firmly push the control handle (a) onto the pump body (d) so that it sits

securely on top of the silicone diaphragm (b).

7. For mains use connect the mains power lead (j) to the control handle (a)

and plug into an electrical wall socket.

8. For battery use, open the top of the battery pack (i) and insert 4 x AA

batteries. Connect the power lead to the control handle (a). 11 12Do not overfill the milk container and be sure to keep it upright, otherwise it may leak. Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately. Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored to be fed to your baby. Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you are storing freshly expressed milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add milk which has been expressed into a sterile container. Milk can only be kept like this for a maximum of 48 hours from first expression, after which it must be used immediately or frozen for future use. Frozen breast milk can be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator, heated gradually in warm water or heated with a Philips AVENT Bottle and Baby Food Warmer. NB:

• NEVERrefreezebreastmilk.

• DONOTaddfreshbreastmilktoalreadyfrozenmilk.

• ALWAYS discard any milk that is left over at the end of a feed.

Never heat milk in a microwave as this may destroy valuable nutrients and antibodies. In addition, the uneven heating may cause hot spots in the liquid which could cause burns to the throat. Never immerse a frozen milk container or VIA Cup in boiling water as this may cause it to crack/split. Never put boiling water directly into a VIA Cup, allow to cool for around 20 minutes before filling. Disassembly Ensure the power is switched off at the wall socket and disconnect the mains power lead or battery pack from the control handle. Pull the control handle directly upwards away from the diaphragm then unhook it from the stem by moving it towards the funnel. To change your pumping rhythm If at any time you want to change your pumping rhythm, press the control button and the pump will revert to manual pumping. The light will turn back to solid GREEN. You can now pump manually until you are comfortable again. Then press the control button again and the Single Electronic Breast Pump will continue your chosen rhythm. To stop pumping When you want to stop pumping, press the control handle and break the seal between the breast and the pump body with your finger. To switch off the pump, press and hold the control button for 2 seconds until the light turns off, then unplug the mains power lead from the wall socket. If you’re using the battery pack, disconnect from the control handle. If you forget to turn the pump off, it will switch itself off after 3 minutes to save battery power. Battery Life Batteries will last for approximately 6 hours. The light on the control handle will display a slow pulsing flash to warn you when it is time to replace them. There will be enough power for approximately 1 more pumping session, with no drop-off in performance, before the pump switches itself off. To collect and store your milk After you have expressed your milk, unscrew the pump body from the milk container (e). If you’re using AVENT Breast Milk Containers, insert a sealing disc (o) into the screw ring (m) and twist it onto the milk container. If you’re using VIA, unscrew the adaptor and screw a lid onto the cup. On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml/2-4oz. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman. If you find that you regularly express more than 125ml/4oz per session, you can use a 260ml/9oz AVENT Breast Milk Container or a 240ml/8oz VIA Cup. Breast milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer in either sterile breast milk containers (125ml/4oz or 260ml/9oz or 330ml fitted with sealing discs) or in pre-sterilised VIA Cups. 13 14Using your Electronic Pump as a Manual Breast Pump Your Electronic Breast Pump can also be used as a manual pump. In this case, you simply need to replace the control handle with the manual handle (p) and pump cover (q) provided. Assembling your Manual Breast Pump (see diagram F) Ensure you have disassembled, washed and sterilised all the parts. Follow steps 1-5 as before (see diagram D), then proceed to step 6 and 7 (see diagram F):

6. Position the forked end of the handle (p) under the diaphragm stem (b)

and push down gently on the handle until you hear it ‘click’ into place.

7. Click the pump cover (q) onto the pump body (d).

How to use your Manual Breast Pump (see diagram G)

1. Bring the assembled pump to your breast. Position the Let-down Massage

Cushion firmly onto your breast so as to create a perfect seal (ensure no strand of hair or piece of clothing is trapped).

2. Once comfortable, gently squeeze the handle 5 or 6 times fairly quickly to

initiate let-down. When you see your milk beginning to flow, establish a rhythm of pumping to meet your own comfort level. Hints to help you succeed Using a breast pump takes practice. You may need to make several attempts before you succeed, but because the Single Electronic Breast Pump is so simple and comfortable to use, you will soon get used to expressing milk.

1. Choose a quiet time when you’re not rushed and unlikely to be disturbed.

2. Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help

encourage your milk to flow.

3. Warmth and relaxation can help so you might like to try expressing after

a warm bath or shower.

4. Placing a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before you start

pumping can also encourage your milk flow and soothe painful breasts.

5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other,

or continue expressing just after a feed.

6. Repositioning the pump on your breast from time to time can help

stimulate your milk ducts.

7. Some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down Massage

Cushion. However, it has been shown that, in most cases, the massaging effect of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the let-down reflex and allows you to express more milk, faster.

8. To relieve engorgement, we recommend gentle, slow pumping to relieve

the pressure. Practice with your pump to find the best pumping techniques for you. Don’t worry if your milk doesn’t flow immediately, relax and continue pumping. Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if NO result is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day. 15 16• Checkthatallpumppartshavebeenassembled correctly and that the valve is positioned correctly.

• Ensurethatthesiliconediaphragmand Let-down Massage Cushion are fitted securely to the pump body and a perfect seal is created.

• Makecertainthatthecontrolhandleisfirmly in place. Lack of suction

• Ensure the pump is correctly assembled and that suction is being created.

• Relax and try again, as expression may improve after practice.

• Refertothe‘Hints to help you succeed’ section. No milk being expressed

• You may be squeezing too hard. You do not need to use all the suction the pump can generate.

• Try squeezing the handle more gently and remember the 2-3 second pumping rhythm.

• Consult your health professional/ breastfeeding advisor. Pain in the breast area when expressing
