THE BREAST PUMP AND BREASTFEEDING

Breastfeeding is a very important stage in a baby's and in a mother's life. For babies, latching on and sucking means not only satisfying a primary physiological need, but also, and more importantly, a precious moment in their relationship with their mothers, full of emotions and tactile, auditory, taste, and olfactory sensations. Satisfying this need gives a great feeling of tranquillity and well-being to both the mother and the child. Breast milk contains all the nutrients required to meet infants' nutritional and psychological needs at least for the first 6 months of their lives. Chicco's electric breast pump helps extend breastfeeding, in the event of excess milk or when you cannot always be with your baby. In such cases you can extract milk, store it, and give it to baby when required.

SET-UP

• Before using the breast pump for the first time, thoroughly wash all components, with the exception of the motor unit (11), the USB cable (12) and the silicone tube (13), as described under "CLEANING".
• Then assemble the breast pump as follows:
• Push the valve (5) down into the circular duct in the base of the connector (4). (Fig.1) Note: fit the valve preferably with the tab positioned inside the connector.
• Push the outer edge to prevent damaging the valve and make sure

that both closing edges of the assembled valve are joined together. If not, reposition the valve, making sure that the two edges are correctly aligned.

• Assemble the silicone membrane (1) with the membrane cover (2) and insert them onto the connector (4) (Fig.2)
• Insert the silicone cup (3) tightly into the connector (Fig.3) so that it does not vent during use.
• Screw the NaturalFeeling feeding bottle (7) to the adapter (6). (Fig.4a)
• Screw the NaturalFeeling bottle with the adapter to the connector (4). (Fig.4b)
• The Electric Breast Pump can also be used with other Chicco feeding bottles by removing the adaptor provided (6).
• Use the practical base (10) to lay the assembled product on a flat surface and improve its stability.
• The breast pump can be used via the USB cable (12) supplied by connecting it to the mains using a compatible 5V 2A mains adapter or on battery power. To connect the breast pump to the power and recharge it, plug the USB cable into the socket on the motor unit (Fig.5), attach it to a compatible 5V 2A adaptor and then connect it to the power.
  For faster charging we recommend recharging the breast pump when not in use.

WARNING: only use the breast pump while charging with compatible 5V 2A mains adapters, otherwise the breast pump could be damaged beyond repair.

WARNING: in case of prolonged non-use, recharge the battery at least once every 3 months.

• Connect the silicone tube (13) to the membrane cover (2) (Fig.6)
• Open the silicone cover (14), rotate it and insert the rigid connector for the silicone tube (13) into the slot provided on the motor unit (11) (Fig.7)
  • Take care that you do not lose the connector, if it is lost you may not be able to use the appliance.

• Before each use, sanitise all components, with the exception of the motor unit (11), the USB cable (12), and the silicone tube (13), using cold sterilising liquids (according to the manufacturer's instructions), or hot (steam) using the appropriate equipment, or by boiling (5 minutes), allowing all hot-sanitised components to cool completely before use.
• Wash your hands and assemble the breast pump as shown in the PREPARATION paragraph.
• Sit down comfortably and relax. Note: while using the breast pump, to ensure correct operation of the appliance, take care not to cover the hole on the left-hand side of the connector (4) with your hand. Note: when switched on, the breast pump always starts in stimulation mode to facilitate milk extraction, using the factory

settings (level 1). The stimulation indicator (22) will appear on the display.

• The cup (3) can be rotated manually, choosing which areas to stimulate and which to protect. The stimulation zone is represented by the pink petals, the protection zone by the transparent part. Once the position has been chosen, make sure that the cup is still fully inserted in the connector (4) to avoid venting.
• Fit the silicone cup (3) over your breast ensuring that the nipple is centred properly.
• Switch on the breast pump by pressing the on/off button (16) on the motor unit (11), it will automatically switches on in stimulation mode (22). The display shows the battery charge status (20) and the timer (21) counting the minutes of operation.
• After approximately 2 minutes of stimulation, the appliance automatically switches to extraction mode using the factory settings (level 1). The standard extraction indicator (23) will appear on the display.
• You can stop the stimulation stage and switch to the extraction stage by pressing once on the mode selection button (15). To switch to intensive extraction mode (24), press the mode selection button (15) twice.

By repeatedly pressing the mode selection button (15), 3 different modes can be selected:

4- Stimulation (22)

5- Standard extraction (23)

6- Intense extraction (24)

• Use the "+" (17) and "-" (18) buttons on the display to adjust the intensity of stimulation and extraction.
• If the level of extraction/stimulation chosen causes discomfort or pain, reduce it to a suitable level by pressing the "-" button (18).
• Note: To avoid all danger deriving from spilt liquid (milk), we recommend that you never fill the feeding bottle beyond the highest level indicated on its graduated scale.
• Should you wish to change the rotation of the cup, pause the breast pump by briefly pressing the on/off button (16), detach the cup from the breast, rotate it to the desired position, reposition on the breast and briefly press the on/off button (16) again to restart it.
  • To switch the breast pump off, press and hold the on/off button (16).
• The motor base is equipped with a night light that can be switched on with the motor on or off by pressing the LED light icon (19) for about 3 seconds. The LED light turns off automatically after 30 minutes.

CLEANING

• Before carrying out any cleaning operations, make sure that the product is not connected to the mains and that it is switched off.
• Separate all the components from the breast pump. Note: remove the valve (5) by pulling gently.
• WARNING: Make sure that the valve is always removed in a gentle way; do not use any tool for cleaning it because it may be damaged, making the breast pump impossible to use.
• Thoroughly wash all components, except the motor unit (11) the USB cable (12) and the silicone tube (13) with warm water and dishwashing liquid, rinse thoroughly and dry thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth.

  • After washing, always store the product in a clean, dry place.

Fault Cause Solution
The breast pump does not pump or pumps very little	Valve not assembled or not properly assembled.	Assemble the valve correctly.
	Silicone tube incorrectly assembled to the membrane cover.	Check that you have performed the procedure described in the "PREPARATION" paragraph correctly.Make sure that the silicone tube is firmly connected to both the motor unit and the membrane cover. Check that the tube is not damaged. Do not twist the tube during milk expression.
	The silicone cup does not adhere well to the breast or is not properly inserted into the connector.	Fit the cup over your breast, taking care that your nipple is properly centred. Press the silicone cup firmly into the connector.
	Suction level not correctly adjusted.	Change the suction level until you achieve more comfortable stimulation and suction by pressing the "+" or "-" buttons.
	Low or insufficiently charged battery. Recharge with USB cable.
	Membrane and/or cover not assembled or poorly assembled.	Properly assemble the membrane in its housing and the cover over it.
Milk expression is painful. Suction level too high.		Change the suction level until you achieve more comfortable stimulation and suction by pressing the "-" button.
