4. While in the Expression Phase, you can independently
adjust both the cycle and suction settings. Adjust the
suction and cycle to your comfort level while pumping
by pressing the increase (+) or decrease (–) button next
to the suction icon, or cycle icon.
Please make one setting change at a time to experience
the difference before making further adjustments.
5. For maximum milk flow, the cycle setting (on the left
side of the LCD screen) should be increased to L6, as
indicated in Figure 1. This actually reduces the cycle
speed, but increases the cycle length. A longer cycle
length (and slower pumping rhythm), after let-down
has occurred, allows the pump to more effectively
draw out milk.
After you increase the cycle setting to L6, the suction
setting (on the right side of the LCD screen) should be
increased to L8, as indicated in Figure 2, or the
maximum level that you find comfortable. This increases
the suction power of the breast pump and combined with
the longer cycle length provides the greatest level for
milk expression.
6. When a pumping session is finished, turn the pump off with the on/off button. After turning
the pump off, the display will remain on for a few seconds. Make sure there is no suction
on the nipple(s) before removing the breast cushions. If necessary, break the suction by
inserting a finger between the breast cushion and the breast.
Note:
LCD display light will automatically switch off if no buttons are pressed for 20
seconds in order to save power. If the pump is left on but unattended for more than 30
minutes, the pump will automatically power off.
For Single Pumping:
Remove one tube and close the tubing connector. Make
sure that the plug is placed into the pipe outlet properly and
pushed in securely.
Please don’t forget to thoroughly clean all parts
(other than tubing and tubing connector) after each use as
indicated on page 6.
Adjustable for Maximum Milk Flow and Comfort
Your Lansinoh Affinity Breast Pump allows you to adjust both cycle and suction settings.
Choose the settings that are most comfortable for you and result in the greatest
milk expression.
Cycle Buttons
These control the cycle length of the breast pump. The lower cycle settings create a shorter
cycle length and faster pumping rhythm, which is helpful for eliciting milk let-down.
Once let-down has occurred, you may push the (+) button to increase the cycle length,
which creates a slower pumping rhythm, for more powerful milk expression.
Note:
The highest
cycle
setting (L6) actually creates the slowest pumping rhythm, while the
lowest
cycle
setting (L1) creates the fastest pumping rhythm. The highest
cycle
setting
combined with the highest suction level provides the greatest level for milk expression.
Suction Buttons
These control the suction strength. Push the (+) button to increase the suction. Continue to
push the (+) button to increase the suction to the highest level comfortable for you. Push the
(-) button to decrease the suction. Your pump can be adjusted from suction levels 1 to 8.
Note:
If the suction on your breast reaches uncomfortable levels, reduce the suction level
by pushing the (-) Suction button, or disconnect the pump connector from its socket on the
electric pump.

AC Adapter
(included)
Connect the AC adapter to the power
socket located on the side of the pump.
Then connect the AC adapter in to the
main power supply. Electrical safety can
only be achieved when the breast pump
is connected to the AC Power Adapter
supplied with the product (See “Technical
Data” section, page 17)
6 AA Alkaline Or Rechargeable Batteries
(not included) Open the battery cover under the pump
and insert 6 AA batteries. Make sure the polarity (+)
and (-) is correct as indicated. Close the compartment
by gently pressing the cover until it snaps into place.
Remove batteries if pump is not in use for a long period
of time. Dispose of batteries according to regulations
for environmental protection and recycling. Replace
batteries as a simultaneous set. Do not mix old and new
batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or
rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
