THE BREAST PUMP AND BREASTFEEDING
Breastfeeding is a very important stage in a baby’s and in
a mother’s life. For babies, latching on and sucking means
not only satisfying a primary physiological need, but also,
and more importantly, a precious moment in their relation-
ship with their mothers, full of emotions and tactile, audi-
tory, taste, and olfactory sensations. Satisfying this need
gives a great feeling of tranquillity and well-being to both
the mother and her child. Breast milk contains all the nutri-
ents required to meet infants’ nutritional and psychological
needs at least for the first 6 months of their lives.
Chicco’s electric breast pump helps extend breastfeeding,
in the event of excess milk or when you cannot always be
with your baby. In such cases you can extract milk, store it,
and give it to baby when required.
To guarantee the greatest flexibility and convenience, the
electric breast pump operates both with AA size 1.5V al-
kaline batteries (not supplied) and with a special mains
adaptor
(model LXCP12-006100BEH, manufacturer: Shenzhen
Longxc Power Supply Co., Ltd.).

PREPARATION
• Before using the Breast pump for the first time, please
clean all the components* thoroughly as shown in the“-
CLEANING
” paragraph.
• Then assemble the breast pump as follows:
• Push the valve (5) down into the circular duct in the base
of the pump body (4). (Fig. 1)
Note: fit the valve preferably with the tab positioned inside
the pump body.
• Push the outer edge to prevent damaging the valve and
make sure that both closing edges of the assembled valve
are joined together. If not, reposition the valve, making
sure that the two edges are correctly aligned.
• For greater comfort, you can fit the silicone cover (3) onto
the pump body (4). Insert the silicone cover well into the
cone of the pump body, and seal it around the outer rim
of the pump body (Fig.2). Press the pads of the cover to
expel any air trapped inside.
• Fit the membrane cover (2) onto the silicone membrane
(1) and insert the membrane and cover (pre-assembled)
onto the pump body (4) (Fig.3)
• Screw the NaturalFeeling feeding bottle (6) onto the
threaded base of the pump body (4).(Fig.4)
• Use the practical base to lay the assembled product on a
flat surface (9) and improve its stability.
• To use the breast pump with its mains adaptor (18), attach
the connector (19) to the socket on the motor unit (10)
and then insert the plug of the mains adapter to a wall
socket.(Fig.5 )
• To use the breast pump with alkaline batteries, open the
cover of the battery compartment (12) and insert two AA
size 1.5V batteries (not included) making sure you match
the polarity markings. Close the compartment. The dura-
tion of the alkaline batteries may change based on the
used brand and their charge status.
• WARNING:
as a precaution, always remove the batteries
from the motor body (10) if the breast pump is powered
by the mains adapter (18) and/or if it is not used for a long
time.
• Connect the silicone tube (17) to the membrane cover (2)
(Fig.6)
• Insert the rigid connector on the silicone tube (17) into the
slot provided on the motor body (10) (Fig.7)
• Take care that you do not lose the connector, if it is lost you
may not be able to use the appliance.
*Excluding the motor body (10) and mains adaptor (18) and
the silicone tube (17).
USING THE BREAST PUMP
• Before each use, sanitise all the components* with a cold
sanitizing method using sterilising liquids (following the
manufacturer's instructions), or a hot one (steam) using
specific devices, or by boiling them (5 minutes), and let-
ting all the hot sanitized components fully cool down
before use.
• Wash your hands and assemble the breast pump as
shown in the
PREPARATION
paragraph.
• Cleanse your breast appropriately using water or one of
the handy Chicco breast cleansing wipes.
• In order to facilitate the milk flow, you can take a hot
shower or apply a warm cloth on your breast just before
expressing milk or breastfeeding your child.
• Sit down comfortably and relax.
• Fit the cup over your breast ensuring that the nipple is
centred properly. You can use the breast pump both with
and without the soft silicone cover (3); We recommend
trying both configurations before choosing the best and
most comfortable one for you.
• Press the on/off button (13) on the motor body (10) to
switch on the breast pump, the display (11) will light up.
• If you are using the breast pump powered by alkaline bat-
teries, the indicator on the display will show the battery
charge status (20). If it is powered by the mains adaptor,
this indicator will not appear. The battery indicator shows
4 levels based on the battery charge status.
