Turn on the pump by pressing the “ON” button (D).
The pump will turn on at the highest speed and lowest suction
setting to help stimulate your first letdown.
When milk starts to flow again, decrease speed (A) and increase
suction (D) to the highest comfortable setting. If uncomfortable, turn
suction down slightly.
When milk flow slows, increase speed (B) and maintain suction
setting. When milk begins to flow, decrease speed (A) halfway. If
desired, repeat this step for additional letdowns.
Turn off the pump. After breast milk has been expressed, decrease
suction (C) to the lowest setting. Release button, then press and hold the
“OFF” button (C) until pump turns off (approximately 1 to 2 seconds). If
necessary, slide a finger between the flange and your breast to break any
remaining suction, then remove the flange.

Using The Controls
IMPORTANT: If you feel pain in your breast or nipple, turn the pump off (see
above) or slide a finger between the flange and your breast to immediately
break the suction. If you feel discomfort at every suction level, turn the pump off
and contact your healthcare provider for assistance.
Note: Pump will automatically shut off after 40 minutes. Do not overfill the
5-ounce collection bottle; when freezing your milk for storage, space is needed in
the bottle for the milk to expand.
