5. Setup and Assembly

1. Clean and Sterilize: Before first use and after each subsequent use, disassemble all parts that come into contact with breast milk (breast shields, bottles, valves, diaphragms, tubing) and clean them thoroughly. Sterilize by boiling in water or using a steam sterilizer. The motor unit should NOT be washed or sterilized.

• Massage Mode: Simulates a baby's natural suckling to stimulate milk let-down. Use this mode at the beginning of each pumping session for 2-5 minutes.
• Expression Mode: Provides a stronger, rhythmic suction to efficiently express milk. Switch to this mode after let-down occurs.

6.3 Pumping Procedure

1. Positioning: Center your nipple in the breast shield tunnel. Ensure a comfortable and secure seal around your breast.
2. Power On: Press the Power ON/OFF button. The pump will start in Massage Mode.
3. Massage Phase: Begin with Massage Mode for 2-5 minutes to stimulate milk flow. Adjust the suction level using the (+) and (-) buttons to a comfortable setting.
4. Expression Phase: Once milk let-down begins, press the Mode Toggle button to switch to Expression Mode. Adjust the suction level to your comfort.
5. Duration: Pump for approximately 15-20 minutes per breast, or until milk flow significantly slows. The pump has a fixed operating time of 30 minutes before automatically shutting off.
6. Power Off: Press the Power ON/OFF button to turn off the pump.
7. Disassemble: Carefully remove the breast shields and bottles.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for hygiene and longevity of your breast pump.

7.1 Daily Cleaning

2. Rinse: Rinse all disassembled parts under cool running water to remove any residual milk.
3. Wash: Wash parts in warm, soapy water using a dedicated brush.
