Troubleshooting
If there is low or no suction
1. Make sure all connections of the kit and breastpump are secure.
2. If single pumping, make sure the port plug is placed into one of the
single pumping ports.
3. Make sure the white membrane is laying flat against the yellow
valve head. Check that the membrane is clean and not
damaged. Refer to the assembly instructions.
4. Make sure the diaphragm cap or faceplate on the front of the
breastpump fits evenly and securely.
5. Make sure the ends of the tubings are fit securely into the backs
of the breastshields and into the ports on the diaphragm cap
or faceplate.
Other concerns
6. Take care not to kink tubing(s). If milk is seen backing up into tubing,
check that tubing is not kinked or pinched.
7. When traveling outside the U.S., use battery power only.
8. If you experience discomfort while pumping contact a breastfeed-
ing specialist. You may need a larger size PersonalFit
™
or SoftFit
™
breastshield to reduce the possibility of nipple irritation or injury. Call
1-800-TELL YOU to locate a breastfeeding specialist in your area.

Storing breastmilk in the Pump In Style
®
Advanced cooler bag:
•
The Pump In Style Advanced cooler bag
requires one contoured ice pack
(#87092, included)
for cooling up to four
bottles of breastmilk.
As soon as breastpumping is finished, place the
breastmilk bottle or bag in the cooler bag with
the ice pack. If the ice pack is frozen solid, it
will safely cool your breastmilk for up to 12 hours.
When you return home transfer the bottles
to the refrigerator or freezer.
Defrosting
•
Thaw milk overnight in the refrigerator, or hold the bottle under warm
running water to quickly thaw. You can also place the sealed
container in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes to bring
it to body temperature.
•
Thawed milk is safe in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Do not refreeze.
Caution:
•
Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling
water.
•
Never microwave breastmilk. Microwaving can cause severe burns
to baby’s mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during
microwaving. Microwaving can also change the composition
of breastmilk.
•
If adding expressed breastmilk to container of already frozen
breastmilk, make sure to add a lesser amount than the already
frozen amount.
