13. Troubleshooting guide

Lack of suction Check that all the pump components have been
assembled correctly and that 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.
No milk being expressed 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.
Pain in the breast area You may be pumping too hard. You do not need to use
when expressing 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.
Milk is drawn up the Remove and refit the Let-down Massage Cushion
Let-down Massage Cushion ensuring it is firmly attached and pushed far enough
down the funnel. Try leaning slightly forward.
Cracking/discolouration Avoid contact with antibacterial or abrasive detergents/
of pump parts cleaners as these can damage the plastic. Combinations
of detergents, cleaning products, sterilising 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 colourings may discolour components. Keep the
product out of direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may
cause discolouration.
