MAM 439, Manual, Page: 10 / 16

Before using your MAM Manual Breast Pump for the first time and after each
use, all parts that come into contact with the breast and breast milk must be
separated, cleaned and sterilised.
• Only drinking -quality water must be used for cleaning.
• Completel y air dry or towel dry before reassembly for next use.
• Please ensure that all parts are completely dry before use.
• Take care not to damage parts of the pump set during cleaning.
2.1. Cleaning by hand
Before cleaning, all parts of the pump have to be separated. Begin by rinsing all
parts in cold, clear water. Then wash all parts in warm soapy water with a damp
cloth or sponge and rinse thoroughly with cold water afterwards. Do not use
any abrasive cleaning agents such as anti-bacterial solutions, as these could
attack the appliance’s surface. Dry with a clean cloth or leave to dry on
a clean cloth.
2.2. Cleaning in the dishwasher
To clean the breast pump in the dishwasher, place the separated parts on the top
rack of the dishwasher or in the cutlery section. When washing the pump parts in
the dishwasher, the components may become discoloured by food pigments
–
this does not affect their function. We recommend to carefully clean the
valve body and valve membrane by hand to prevent damages and to
ensure that those small components do not get lost.
2.3. Sterilising the breast pump
Before using the pump for the first time and once a day, all parts of the
pump must be sterilised.
The separated pump parts can be sterilised in boiling water, in an electric or
microwave steam steriliser as well as in cold sterilising liquid. Store the pump set
in a clean bag / container and use the funnel cover for further protection of the
silicone cushion until next use.
Please note : never sterilise the assembled pump – always separate the parts.
Important: allow all parts of the Breast Pump to fully cool and dry before use.

silicone cushion to the rim of the funnel properly by fitting it over the rim.
• Insert the inner cap stopper into the membrane until it engages properly.
• Insert both parts into the funnel adaptor.
• Screw the handle holder on top of the membrane.
• Connect the handle to the handle holder so that it clicks firmly into place. Then
place the inner cap stopper in lock position by pulling the upper part of the cap
stopper into the opening closer to the pump handle.
• Carefully press the valve membrane into the hole of the valve body until it
engages. The valve membrane should be pressed flat and tight to avoid air
