1. Prepare Collection Kit: Attach the valve to the breast flange. Ensure it is securely seated.
2. Attach Bottle: Screw the milk storage bottle onto the bottom of the breast flange assembly.
3. Connect Tubing: Insert one end of the silicone tubing into the diaphragm cap and the other end into the pump's tubing port. For dual pumping, repeat for the second collection kit.
4. Power Connection: Connect the AC power adapter to the pump unit and plug it into a wall outlet. Alternatively, the pump can be powered by 6 AA batteries (not included) for portable use.

Operating Instructions

The Ameda Lactaline Personal Double Electric Breastpump offers adjustable settings for comfortable and effective milk expression.

Pumping Procedure

1. Positioning: Sit comfortably and place the breast flange centrally over your nipple, ensuring a good seal around the breast.
2. Power On: Press the power button on the pump unit to turn it on.
3. Adjust Suction and Cycle Speed: Use the control dials on the pump to adjust the suction level and cycle speed to your comfort. Begin with a gentle suction and gradually increase until milk flow is established and comfortable.
4. Pumping Duration: Pump each breast for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until milk flow significantly slows. For dual pumping, both breasts can be pumped simultaneously.
5. Power Off: Once finished, turn off the pump and carefully remove the breast flanges from your breasts.
6. Store Milk: Remove the bottles from the collection kits, cap them, and store the breast milk according to safe storage guidelines.

The pump's dual HygieniKit milk collection system is designed to prevent milk from entering the tubing, ensuring a closed system for hygiene.

Care and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and hygienic operation of your breast pump.

Cleaning Instructions

1. Disassemble: After each use, disassemble all parts of the milk collection kit that come into contact with breast milk (flanges, valves, bottles, diaphragms).
2. Rinse: Rinse all disassembled parts under cool running water to remove any milk residue.
3. Wash: Wash parts in warm, soapy water using a mild dish soap. Use a dedicated brush for pump parts.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse all parts thoroughly under clean running water.
5. Sterilize: Sterilize parts by boiling them in water for 5-10 minutes, using a steam sterilizer, or a microwave sterilizer bag. Ensure parts do not touch the bottom or sides of the pot if boiling.
6. Air Dry: Place cleaned and sterilized parts on a clean paper towel or drying rack to air dry completely before reassembly or storage. Do not use a cloth towel as it may transfer germs.

Important: The pump motor unit and tubing should not be washed or submerged in water. Wipe the motor unit with a clean, damp cloth if needed. The collection kit parts are not dishwasher compatible.
