Lack of suction
No milk being expressed
Pain in the breast area

Let-down Massage
Cushion
Cracking/discoloration
of pump parts
Lost or broken parts
Check that all the pump components have been assembled
correctly and that the the white valve is the right way up.
Ensure that the diaphragm and Let-down Massage Cushion
are fitted securely to the pump body and a perfect seal
is created.
Ensure suction is created and the pump is correctly assembled.
Relax and try again, expression may improve after practice.
Please refer to the ‘Hints to help you succeed’ section.
You may be pumping too hard. You do not need to use all the
suction the pump can generate. Try depressing the handle
halfway and remember the 2-3 second pumping rhythm.
Consult your health professional/breastfeeding advisor.
Remove and refit the Let-down Massage Cushion ensuring
it is firmly attached and pushed far enough down the funnel.
Try leaning slightly forward.
Avoid contact with abrasive or antibacterial detergents as
these can damage the plastic. Combinations of detergents,
cleaning products, sterilizing solution, softened water and
temperature fluctuations may, under certain circumstances,
cause the plastic to crack. If this occurs, do not use. Contact
Philips AVENT Customer Services for spare parts. The pump is
dishwasher safe but food colorings may discolor components.
Spare parts are available through Philips AVENT Customer
Services (see back cover for contact details).
If you are still experiencing problems, please contact Philips AVENT Customer
Services (see back cover for contact details). Alternatively contact your health care
professional/breastfeeding advisor.
