TO USE
Note: For health and personal cleanliness, always wash your hands thoroughly before pumping.
CAUTION:
1) Position pump.
Position pump shield firmly
against your breast. To ensure necessary
vacuum for suction, be sure your nipple is
centered within the opening. Your breast
should fill pump shield completely (although
pump shield will likely not fit around your
breast completely). Improper positioning
can cause nipple irritation.
2) Rotate the pump handle.
Rotate pump
handle to the position that’s most
comfortable for you. Gently push down on
pump handle and begin pumping. (You don’t
need to use the full stroke of the pump handle
to create a vacuum for suction – only as much
as is comfortable.)
It may take numerous pumps initially for milk to
begin to flow. Continue to pump at a rate that is
comfortable for you.
Pump until you’ve expressed the desired amount
of milk and gently remove pump
from breast.
To avoid damage to the pump:
•
BE SURE TO HOLD THE PUMP STRAIGHT UP
DURING USE.
If the pump is tilted, milk could
flow into the pump handle. If this occurs, stop
pumping. Carefully remove the bottle from the
pump. The breast milk in the bottle can be
used for immediate feeding, or stored
according to the storage tips provided. Discard
any excess milk. If the pump stops working, or if
milk has flowed into the pump handle, do not
attempt to take handle apart. Please call our
parent service center at 1-800-704-8697.
•
IF MILK REACHES THE 5 OZ. LEVEL, STOP
PUMPING
. If you wish to continue pumping,
remove the full bottle and replace
it with an empty bottle. Pumping into an
overfilled bottle could cause damage to
the unit.
3) Remove bottle assembly.
Holding the pump
and bottle upright, carefully unscrew the
bottle from the pump body, cover, and tighten
to seal. Store filled bottle according to storage
instructions provided. Once bottle is safely
stored, disassemble pump and clean.
