4.4 Pumping Session Tips

5. Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the hygiene and longevity of your Elvie Stride 2 pump. All washable parts are dishwasher safe for convenience.
5.1 Daily Cleaning
- After each use, disassemble all parts that come into contact with milk (cups, breast shields, valves, diaphragms).
- Wash these parts in warm, soapy water or place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Air dry on a clean paper towel or drying rack. Do not use a cloth towel as it may leave lint.
5.2 Sterilization
Sterilize parts once a day by boiling them in water for 5 minutes, using a steam sterilizer, or a microwave sterilizer bag. Ensure parts are completely cool before handling.
5.3 Storage
Store clean, dry pump parts in a clean, dry place when not in use. Keep the hub clean by wiping it with a damp cloth; do not submerge it in water.
6. Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low or no suction | Improper assembly, damaged valve/diaphragm, incorrect flange size, low battery. | Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and securely fitted. Check valves and diaphragms for tears or damage and replace if necessary. Verify battery level and charge if low. Ensure correct nipple insert size is used. |
| Milk leaking from cups | Cups not sealed properly, overfilled cups, damaged cup seal. | Ensure cups are correctly assembled and form a tight seal against your breast. Do not overfill cups; empty them when full. Inspect cup seals for damage. |
| App connectivity issues | Bluetooth off, app not updated, hub not powered on. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Update the Elvie app to the latest version. Make sure the Elvie Stride 2 Hub is powered on and within range. Try restarting both the app and the hub. |
