1. Tilting of the flange may lead to the leakage of breastmilk. Please sit up straight while
pumping to ensure the flange does not tilt.
2. It is important to find the maximum vacuum level that is comfortable for you, as
pumping at an uncomfortably high vacuum level may cause pain and hinder your
milk flow.
3. To determine your own maximum vacuum level, use the vacuum level and cycle
speed controller buttons on the breast pump to increase the intensity until pumping
feels slightly uncomfortable (not painful), then decrease the intensity slightly.
4. On average, a typical expressing session goes for 10-15 minutes, but this is just a guide
and may vary for each individual.
5. Upon completion of pumping, do not just pull away the flange in its sealed state, but
instead turn off the power first and remove the flange slowly by breaking the seal
between your breast and the flange with your finger.
1. Disassemble and wash all parts that come in contact with breastmilk immediately
after use according to the instructions in the user manual using bottle washing
detergent and appropriately shaped bottle brush and rinse under running water.
2. The general practice is to sterilize the washed parts in boiling water for 5 minutes.
3. After washing and sterilizing, ensure all parts are completely dry and store in a
container or clean space.
4. Replace any worn out or scratched consumable parts.

immediately seek medical advice.
How to use
Should milk backflow during pumping, stop the pump operation immediately and remove any milk
first, then check all consumable parts for damage / connection condition. If you suspect that the
milk has backflowed into the main pump unit, stop using the pump immediately and asses the unit
before using again.
