In which circumstances should you use your breast pump?
To create a supply of breast milk for when you are away or out, for when you return to work or in order to allow baby's father
to take a turn at feeding. Breast milk expressed using a breast pump may be directly collected, stored, frozen and fed in the
bottle supplied (cf section on handling breast milk).
How should you clean and sterilise your breast pump? (cf diagram E)
Warning! Never wash or sterilise the motor unit 1 and the mains adapter 14. These parts don't come into contact with your
milk and water or steam could damage them. If need be use a soft cloth.
Before first use and after each use, you should dismantle your breast pump and clean it, then sterilise all the parts that come
into contact with your milk. Milk residues may damage the material and lead to the formation of bacteria.
In order to clean them, rinse the parts under running water or use a dishwasher (a dishwasher is however not recommended
for cleaning teats). As the valves are particularly fragile, make sure you do not use objects that may damage them. Then steri-
lise the parts in a steriliser (electric or microwave) or boil them for five minutes (in sufficient water to ensure they are not da-
maged). It is preferable not to sterilise these parts directly in a microwave since this risks damaging the material.
Important! Leave the sterilised parts to dry and cool properly before using them again in order to avoid mould or burns.
How should you prepare and assemble your breast pump? (cf diagram B)
1. Insert the anti-reflux valve 5 into the breast shield 6 with the knob pointing upwards.
2. Place the motor unit 1 on the breast shield 6.
3. Screw the connecting ring 7 from underneath on the motor unit 1.
4. Place the lip valve 8 in the breast shield 6 from underneath.
5. Attach the bottle 9 to the assembled motor unit 1, screwing them together.
6. To use the breast pump with standard-neck bottles, first screw the adaptor 15 on under the shield 6 before screwing the
standard-neck bottle onto the adaptor.
7. Power supply: Open the battery compartment by the catch lock.
For mains operation, plug the power supply lead into the socket located just under the compartment, then connect the mains
adapter to a power outlet. Only the mains adapter provided should be used.
For battery operation you need 3 AAA 1.5V type batteries. Please insert the batteries in accordance with the + and - symbols
shown inside compartment. Operation with rechargeable batteries is not recommended since the breast pump will not achieve
full operation with the lower voltage of rechargeable batteries.
Close the compartment: slide the two "feet" of the lid into the corresponding hole at the bottom and close the lid firmly until
a definite "click" is heard.
Comment: the device must not be used without the battery compartment cover being in place.
Thank you for choosing a TIGEX product!
A specialist in pregnancy and breast-feeding, Tigex has designed a complete range of handy and practical products that com-
bine comfort and effectiveness. Designed with and for all mothers, Tigex products offer the best in innovation to help you cope
with this period free from worries. So that breast-feeding is a pleasure and a privilege.
We have designed the comfort electric breast pump so that you can express your milk effectively and comfortably.
The small nodes on the breast shield stimulate milk production by massaging the areola and its extra wide opening surrounds
the breast completely so as not to loose suction. Finally, suction is adjustable to adapt to your physiology and extract more milk
without discomfort.
For added comfort, its ergonomic shield has a soft texture and a wide opening for the nipple to avoid rubbing.
Using it is extremely simple.
A single control button lets you start then adjust the pump. The number of parts has been reduced as much as possible to
make it easy to assemble. Its small size and its ability to operate with batteries or from the mains give active mothers maxi-
mum flexibility when travelling. It is supplied with a feeding bottle with a screw-on lid to prevent your milk leaking out and a
anti-colic (regulates air intake, reducing the risk of colic) teat so that you can use the bottle to feed your baby without having
to transfer your breast milk.
We hope that the comfort electric breast pump will give you as much satisfaction as it has for many mothers who have tested
and used it.
Before using it, please take a few moments to read all these instructions.
