6.3 Choice of Breast Shell and Optiflow Massage insert
If your nipple rubs uncomfortably on the inner side of the funnel, use a
larger breast shell / larger breast shell insert. If the areola is also sucked
into the funnel, use a smaller breast shell. The Optiflow Massage insert
can only be used with the 31 mm breast shell.
7. Storage of breast milk
Check with your hospital for specific instructions!
At room temperature: 6 hours at max. 77 °F (25 °C); in the refrigerator: 5 days at max. 39 °F (4 °C); in the freezer com-
partment of the refrigerator (3 °F / -16 °C) 3 - 6 months; in the deep-freezer (< 0 °F / < -18 °C): 6 - 12 months.
8. Cleaning
Before first use, disassemble and boil all components for 10 minutes. Air dry before assembling and use.
After every use, wash with soapy water and rinse well. Once a day, disassemble and boil the components for 10 minutes,
or put the components in the dishwasher, then dry and cover with a clean cloth. Do not clean the lip valve with a brush.
The lever, casing cover and bottle stand can, but need not, be boiled. After cleaning, check for any damage.
CAUTION: Let components cool after boiling before touching them.
6.2 Pumping
• Wash your hands, sit down comfortably and relax.
• Turn the casing cover to the desired position.
• Centre the nipple so that, when pumping, it moves freely in the breast shell / breast shell insert, and pump by activating
the lever.
• Adjusting the suction intensity: the further you press the lever, the greater the suction intensity.
• Adjusting the speed interval: the faster you move the lever up and down, the higher the pumping frequency.
• Our recommendation: begin at a high speed interval and a low suction intensity in order to stimulate the milk ejection
reflex. Once the milk is flowing, reduce the speed interval and increase the suction intensity.
