Warning: Be careful, when you have disinfected the breast pump

parts by boiling them, they can be very hot. To prevent burns, only start assembling the breast pump when disinfected parts have cooled down. Check the breast pump kit parts for wear or damage before use and replace them if necessary. Note: Correct placement of the cushion and the silicone diaphragm is essential for the breast pump to form a proper vacuum. 1 Insert the white valve into the pump body from underneath. Push the valve in as far as possible (Fig. 2). 2 Screw the pump body clockwise onto the bottle (Fig. 3) or storage cup (Fig. 4) until it is securely xed. Note: If you use a storage cup, you have to screw the adapter for cup onto the storage cup rst (Fig. 4). 3 Insert the stem in the silicone diaphragm (Fig. 5). 4 Insert the silicone diaphragm into the pump body from above. Make sure it ts securely around the rim by pressing down with your ngers to ensure a perfect seal (Fig. 6). 5 Attach the handle onto the diaphragm with stem by hooking the hole in the handle over the end of the stem. Push down the handle onto the pump body until it clicks into place (Fig. 7). 6 Place the cushion into the pump body (Fig. 8) and make sure that the rim covers the pump body. Push in the inner part of the cushion into the funnel against the line indicated with an arrow (Fig. 9). Note: Place the cushion cover over the cushion to keep the breast pump clean while you prepare for expressing. Using the breast pump

Warning: Always use the breast pump with the cushion.

Note: Contact your healthcare professional in case of questions or if you experience side eects. 9EnglishOperating the breast pump 1 Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and make sure that your breast is clean. 2 Press the assembled pump body against your breast. Make sure that your nipple is centered, so that the cushion creates an airtight seal. 3 Gently start to press down the handle until you feel the suction on your breast (Fig. 10). Then allow the handle to return to its resting position. Repeat this step rapidly 5 or 6 times to initiate the ‘let-down’ reex. Note: You do not have to press down the handle fully. Press it down as much as is comfortable for you. Your milk will soon start owing, even though you are not using all the suction the pump can generate. 4 When the milk starts owing, adopt a slower rhythm by pressing down the handle and keeping it pressed down for a moment before you let it return to its resting position. Continue with this rhythm while your milk is owing. If your hand becomes tired, try to use the other hand or pump from the other breast. Note: Do not worry if your milk does not ow immediately. Relax and continue pumping. Repositioning the breast pump on your breast from time to time can help stimulate milk ow. 5 Continue pumping until you feel your breast is empty. 6 When you have nished expressing, carefully remove the breast pump from your breast and unscrew the bottle or storage cup from the pump body. Clean the other used parts of the breast pump (see 'Cleaning and disinfecting'). After use

Warning: Only store breast milk collected with a clean and

disinfected pump. If you intend to feed your baby with the expressed breast milk within 4 days, you can store the breast milk in the refrigerator in an assembled Philips Avent bottle or storage cup. Otherwise, you can store breast milk in the freezer for up to 6 months. 1 T o store the breast milk: close the bottle with the sealing disc and screw ring (Fig. 11). 2 To prepare the bottle for feeding your baby: place a teat in a screw ring and screw the assembled screw ring onto the bottle. Seal the teat with the bottle cap (Fig. 12). 10 English3 In case a storage cup is included with the manual breast pump, screw the lid onto the storage cup. Make sure you properly close it to avoid leakage (Fig. 13). 4 Disassemble and clean all parts that have been in contact with breast milk (see 'Cleaning and disinfecting'). Note: For safe use of bottles and storage cups, please read the separately provided user manuals.

it at a room temperature for a maximum of 4 hours before you feed your baby. Never refreeze thawed breast milk to avoid a decrease in milk quality.
