3. Connect the breast pump to the mains cable and in-
sert the mains plug into the socket.
4. If you instead choose to operate the breast pump
using batteries, open the battery compartment cov-
er on the rear side of the motor unit. Insert four AA
batteries (included in delivery). Make sure that the
batteries are inserted the correct way round. See
the graphic in the battery compartment. Next, close
the battery compartment until you can hear and feel it
click into place. A single battery charge with four new
AA batteries will last for approximately 60 minutes of
operation (at the highest setting).
6.2 Cleaning and sterilising the breast pump
WARNING
Clean and sterilise the separate parts of the breast pump that come into direct contact with the
breast milk (except for the motor unit and silicone tube) individually before fi rst use and any further
use. Never sterilise the motor unit.
To sterilise the breast pump correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the pump attachment from the bottle.
2. Remove the silicone tube from the pump attachment and the motor unit.
3. Remove the silicone membrane and silicone valve from the pump attachment.
4. Sterilise the bottle and pump attachment (with silicone membrane and silicone valve) for fi ve minutes in boil-
ing water or using a steam steriliser. Do not use the breast pump until all individual parts are completely dry.
Do not use any antibacterial cleaning products, since these may damage the plastic on the breast pump.
5. Clean the motor unit carefully using a slightly damp cloth only. Do not use any cleaning agents or sol-
vents. Under no circumstances should you hold the motor unit under water, as this can cause liquid to
enter and damage the breast pump. If you do not intend to use the breast pump for a prolonged period
of time, remove the batteries.

7.1 Tips to ensure a better milk fl ow
• Choose a location to use the pump where you can relax.
• Choose a time to use the pump when you can relax.
• Having your child nearby or looking at a picture of your child can have a positive eff ect on the milk fl ow.
• If feeding your child using one breast, use the breast pump on the other breast at the same time.
• Warmth and relaxation encourage milk fl ow. Use the breast pump after having a shower or bath.
• If your breasts are swollen or sore, place a warm towel on them for a few minutes. This will improve the
milk fl ow.
• If the milk does not start to fl ow from your breasts immediately, try to relax and then try again a few min-
utes later.
