The pump will turn on at the
highest speed and lowest suction
setting to help stimulate your first letdown (milk release).
When milk starts to flow,
decrease speed
A
and
increase suction
D
to the
highest comfortable setting. If uncomfortable, turn suction down slightly.
When milk flow slows,
increase speed
B
and
maintain suction setting.
When milk begins to flow again,
decrease speed
A
halfway. If desired,
repeat this step for additional letdowns.
Turn off the pump. After breast milk has been expressed, decrease suction
C

Using The Controls
TIP: Some users find that using the highest speed with the highest comfortable suction through-
out the pumping session yields the most amount of milk in the shortest amount of time.
IMPORTANT: If you feel pain in your breast or nipple, turn the pump off (see above) or slide a
finger between the flange and your breast to immediately break the suction. If you feel discom-
fort at every suction level, turn the pump off and contact your healthcare provider for assistance.
NOTE: Pump will automatically shut off after 40 minutes. Do not overfill the 5-ounce collection
bottle; when freezing your milk for storage, space is needed in the bottle for the milk to expand.
