preparing for use
The motor unit, the silicone tube and cap and the adapter do not require cleaning and sterilising, as
they do not come into contact with breast milk.
Clean and sterilise all other parts of the breast pump before first use as described in chapter
'Cleaning and sterilising'. Also clean these parts after each subsequent use and sterilise them before
each subsequent use.
assembling the breast pump
Note: Make sure you have cleaned and sterilised the appropriate parts of the breast pump. Wash your
hands thoroughly before you handle the cleaned parts.
Be careful, the cleaned parts may still be hot.
Tip: You may find it easier to assemble the breast pump while it is wet.
1 Insert the white valve into the pump body from underneath. Push in the valve as far as
possible (Fig. 2).
2 Screw the pump body clockwise onto the bottle until it is securely fixed (Fig. 3).
3 Place the silicone diaphragm into the pump body from above. Make sure it fits securely
around the rim by pressing down with your fingers to ensure a perfect seal (Fig. 4).
4 Place the massage cushion into the funnel-shaped section of the pump body. Push in the
inner part of the massage cushion as far as possible and make sure that it is perfectly sealed
all around the rim of the pump body. Press in between the petals to remove any trapped
air (Fig. 5).
Note: Place the cover over the massage cushion to keep the breast pump clean while you prepare for
expressing.
5 Insert the adapter into the wall socket and insert the other end into the motor unit (Fig. 6).
The adapter reference code is indicated on the bottom of the appliance. Only use the indicated
adapter with the appliance.
- For battery operation (SCF332 only), turn the bottom of the motor unit in the direction
indicated by the marks on the bottom (1) and remove it (2). Insert four new 1.5V AA batteries
(or 1.2V, if rechargeable) into the battery housing. Reattach the bottom to the motor
unit (Fig. 7).
Note: A new set of batteries provides up to 3 hours of operation. If you have inserted batteries in the
battery housing of the motor unit and plug in the adapter, the breast pump will run from the main power
supply. The batteries cannot be charged in the unit.
6 Attach the silicone tube and cap onto the diaphragm. Push down the cap until it is securely in
place (Fig. 8).

When to express milk
If breastfeeding goes well for you, it is advisable (unless advised otherwise by your healthcare
professional/breastfeeding advisor) to wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are
established (normally at least 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth).
Exceptions:
- If breastfeeding does not immediately work for you, expressing regularly can help to establish
and maintain your milk supply.
