and wipe off the outside of the tubing and the tubing jack (where tubing attaches to
the pump unit). NEVER submerge the pump unit in water or use in a sterilizer.
First time using your breast pump
Carefully read this instruction manual before using your Crane Double Electric Breast
Pump. Failure to follow these instructions and safety guidelines can lead to harm or
injury from the device and may also damage the pump and kit.
• Wash your hands with soap and warm water.
• Disassemble all parts that come into contact with the breast/breast milk: Breast
shield body, silicone cushions & diaphragms & bottles & bottle parts
NOTE: silicone cushion comes assembled onto the breast shield.
• Sterilize these parts using by boiling for 3-5 minutes or with another sterilization
technique. See ‘STERILZING YOUR PUMP PARTS’ for more information.
• Leave to dry or dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
STERILIZING YOUR PUMP PARTS
BEFORE FIRST USE AND ONCE DAILY
Place disassembled breast shield, silicone cushions, diaphragm, bottle and
bottle parts that are safe to boil into a pot and cover with water. DO NOT
BOIL TUBES AND CONNECTORS.
1. Put the pot over the heat and bring to a boil.
2. Boil for 3-5 minutes.
3. Allow water to cool and gently remove items with clean tongs
4. Do not boil tubes or connectors
5. Allow to air-dry thoroughly. Place sanitized pump parts and bottle brush on a
clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust.

14
Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer
germs to the items.
6. Store dry parts in a cool, clean place when not in use. DO NOT store wet or
damp parts.
Before Each Use
Wash your hands well with soap and water and dry thoroughly before touching any
part of your pump.
• Make sure that all parts are totally dry prior to use. Wet or damp parts will cause
poor suction.
• Once all parts are totally dry, re-assemble the milk collection kit.
• Make sure that you check for wear and tear on tubes, plastic and silicone parts.
• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this will affect suction.
CLEANING THE TUBES
The Crane Double Electric Breast Pump is a closed system, therefore cleaning the
tubes is not necessary. If you see moisture in the tubes after pumping, remove the
tubes from the breast shields. Turn the unit on for a few minutes until the moisture
is gone.
TUBE CARE for Moisture in the tubes
If you see still moisture in the tubing:
Wash tubing in warm, soapy water.
Rinse with clean water
Shake out water droplets and hang to dry.
After each pumping session
• Rinse each part that has come into contact with the breast and/or breast milk
immediately after pumping. Parts that come into contact with the breast and breast
milk are; bottles, breast shield body, silicone 3D Cushions, diaphragm. This avoids
buildup of milk residue in the collection kit bottles/parts and growth of any bacteria.
• Wash all parts above in warm soapy water using any fragrance-free mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. This degreases the parts of the milk collection kit. Grease
residue affects suction and passage of milk into the collection bottles.
• Use a separate cleaning sponge and bottle brush with a smaller brush to reach the
tiny nooks of the collection kit parts.
• Rinse each piece thoroughly with warm water for 10 to 15 seconds.

15
• You may sanitize the parts through a sterilization method of your choice after each
use.
• Parts may become damaged or deform if exposed to high temperatures for any
more than 5 minutes.
• Make sure that you check on wear and tear on tubes and all plastic or silicone
parts.
• Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately as this will affect suction.
Allow to air-dry thoroughly. Place sanitized pump parts and bottle brush on a clean,
unused dish towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust. Do not use
a dish towel to rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer germs to the
items.
• Make sure that all parts are totally dry prior to use. Wet or damp parts will cause
poor suction. Once all parts are totally dry, re-assemble the milk collection kit.
You will need to re-assemble your milk collection kit after each cleaning.
Before assembling, the parts which directly come in to contact with breast
milk must be cleaned and sterilized before each use. These parts include;
the milk bottle, Silicone 3D Cushions, breast shield body,
diaphragm and bottle lid.

Preparing to pump
So, your pump is clean, sterilized, assembled and you’ve familiarized yourself with
the controls. Now it’s time to start pumping.
Be prepared - Make sure you have everything you need for the 30 minutes or so.
Have a glass of water and a snack in arms reach a cloth for any spills. Do you have
your phone charged, or something else to read, watch or listen to.
You can do this! Take a breath and relax. Whether this is your first time using your
pump or you’ve done it many times…just take a moment to relax, think about your
baby and know you’ve got this.
See & hear your baby - Many moms find that pumping is more successful if they
have the right sensory cues. Watching a video or seeing a picture of your baby may
be enough to help your milk let down. Listening to a recording of your baby or having
an item of clothing that has their smell may also help to get your milk flowing.
The power of routine - Your body will also respond to the familiarities of how and
where you pump, so expressing at the same times of day helps your body know what
is expected.
Get comfortable –Pumping where you normally feed your baby can be a good cue
for your body. Try to choose a chair or position that takes care of your neck and back.
Supporting your breast with a cushion may help too, particularly if you are expressing
from both breasts at once and need a hand free.

19
Using Your Crane Pump
Remove the dust cover –Always remove the dust cover before you start to pump.
Position the breast shield - Massage around your breast, then position your nipple in
the center of the silicone 3D cushion.
Pumping Mode - Switch on your pump, starting with the stimulation mode icon to
encourage letdown. Once your milk begins to flow (usually after a couple of
minutes), switch to an expression mode icon
Finding the right settings for you:
• When using your pump for the first few times, experiment with the different
expression setting (-/+) to find the one that works well for you.
• If your milk flow begins to drop, you may find it helpful to gently massaging your
breast.
• Adjust the suction level gradually to one that is effective but still comfortable.
Don’t choose a level that’s too high and uncomfortable.
• You may find it helpful to switch between the Expression icon and stimulation icon
Phases while you are pumping.
How long to pump - Use your pump to express your milk until the breast is empty,
which is usually between 15-30 minutes.
Finishing your pumping session - When you are ready to stop expressing,
switch your Crane pump off. Ensure the pump motor is OFF before removing
the milk collection kit from your breasts.
Time to clean - Please see the instructions for rinsing and washing or sterilizing
your pump parts that have come in contact with your breast or breast milk.
Wipe your pump unit.
Double Pumping
As you learn to use your Crane Pump, you may find it easier to pump one side at a
time to begin with. Once you are confident with positioning the breast shield and
have an understanding of the controls, you can be more confident using both sides at
once. Pumping both sides at once can help increase your milk supply as well as
reduce the time needed to pump.
A cushion under one breast can help you still have one hand free to have a drink or
hold something to read. Hands free expressing bras can free up your hands if you
want to move about while you are pumping from both breasts.
