5 Press the on/off button (Fig. 19).
-
The breast pump automatically starts up in stimulation mode and the on/off button and the
stimulation button light up.
-
You begin to feel the suction on your breast.
6 Once your milk starts flowing, you can adopt a slower rhythm by pressing the lowest suction button
(Fig. 20).
-
This button lights up instead of the stimulation button.
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping. The first
few times you use the breast pump, you may need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk
flowing.
7 Depending on your own personal comfort, you may wish to use a higher suction mode that
provides deeper suction. You can always return to a lower suction mode (Fig. 21). You can turn off
the breast pump whenever you like by pressing the on/off button (Fig. 22).
Note: You do not need to use all suction modes, only use the modes that are comfortable for you.
Warning: Always turn off the breast pump before you remove the pump body from
your breast to release the vacuum.
Warning: Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if you do not
succeed in expressing any milk. Try to express at another time during the day.
8 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml (2-4fl oz) of breast milk from
one breast. However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to woman.
Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can purchase and use a 260ml/
9fl oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent overfilling and spillage.
9 When you have finished expressing, turn off the breast pump (Fig. 22) and carefully remove the
pump body from your breast.
10 Unscrew the bottle from the pump body. You have multiple options:
-
Insert a disinfected sealing disc into a disinfected screw ring and screw this onto the bottle (Fig. 23).
The expressed milk in the bottle is ready for storage.
-
Alternatively, assemble a disinfected nipple and screw ring onto the bottle according to the
instructions (see ‚Feeding'). Seal the nipple with the dome cap (Fig. 24).
11 Unplug the adapter from the wall outlet to disconnect the appliance from the electrical power.
Unplug the motor unit from the adapter. Unplug the silicone tube and cap from the silicone
diaphragm. For easy storage, wrap the silicone tube around the motor unit and clip the cap onto
the tube (Fig. 25).
12 Clean the other used parts of the breast pump according to the instructions in section
'Cleaning and disinfection'.
