Warnings and Precautions
Basic safety precautions should be taken when using electrical
products, especially around children.
Warning: If you are a mother who is infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pumping breast milk will not reduce or remove the

• Do not operate during transportation.
WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:
• This device is intended for single user only and should not be shared between
users.
• Do not drive while pumping.
• Never use while pregnant, as pumping can induce labor.
• Clean and sanitize all parts that come in contact with your breast and breast milk
prior to first use. Wash all parts that come in contact with your breast and breast
milk after every use.
• Inspect all appropriate pump components before each use.
• Do NOT continue pumping for more than two consecutive pumping sessions if no
results are achieved.
• Do not thaw frozen breast milk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water.
• If tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.
• If breast milk backup occurs, clean the tubing before your next pumping session.

WARNING: Avoid the following, which could lead to minor injury:
• DO NOT wrap cord around adapter body.
• Use only the power adapter that comes with the Gentlefeed+breast pump.
• Pump only with the breast pump in an upright position.
• DO NOT shorten tubing.
• Make sure the voltage of the power adapter is compatible with the power
source.
• Plug the power adapter into the breast pump first, then into the power source.
• DO NOT use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/detergents when cleaning
breast pump or breast pump parts.
• Never put breast pump motor in water or sterilizer, as permanent damage can
be caused to the device.
• DO NOT attempt to remove the breast shield from your breast while pumping.
Turn the breast pump off and break the seal between your breast and breast
shield with your finger, then remove the breast shield from your breast.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal
between the breast and the breast shield with your finger and remove breast
shield from your breast.
• If experiencing pain in the breast or nipple, discontinue pumping by shutting
off the device or breaking the suction with your finger, even if you think the
pump is not the source of the pain.

• Plastic bottles and component parts become brittle when frozen and may
break when dropped.
• Take appropriate care in handling bottles and components.
• Do not use the breast milk if bottles or components become damaged.
Cleaning Instructions
Basic Cleaning Method
1. Rinse each piece that comes into contact with the body and or
milk with cool water immediately after pumping.
2. Wash each piece separately using liquid dishwashing soap and
plenty of warm water.
3. Rinse each piece thoroughly with hot water for 10-15 seconds.
4. Place the pieces neatly on a clean paper towel or in a clean drying
rack and allow them to air dry.
5. Avoid using cloth towels to dry the pump parts because they can
carry germs and bacteria that may contaminate the breast milk.
6. Once the pump parts are dry, assemble the pump before storage
or use.
7. Try not to touch the inside of any parts that will come in contact
with your breast milk.

Cleaning Breast Pump Parts
• All breast pump parts that come in contact with your body and milk, such as
bottles, valves, and breast shields, should be cleaned after each use.
• Wash the pieces thoroughly to remove germs and bacteria with liquid soap
and warm water.
• It is not necessary to clean the breast pump tubing unless breast milk gets
into it.
• If you must wash the tubing, ensure the tubing is hung up to air dry before
attaching it to the pump. If any moisture/condensation appears in the tubing
after pumping, turn the pump on until the tubing is dry.
Cleaning the Electrical Unit:
• Electrical units, which house the motor and batteries, should be wiped with a
clean paper towel or soft cloth after each use.
• The electrical unit should never be put into water or other liquids for cleaning.
It should also never be sterilized in a microwave sterilizer.
Assembling the Expression Collection Kit
Gentlefeed+comes pre-assembled, however you must reas-
semble the device after each cleaning. All parts of the device
and accessories that come in contact with the breast milk,
including the bottle, breast shield, membrane, and valve,
should be cleaned and sterilized after each use.
Be sure to wash hands before touching the breast pump
and accessories, and avoid touching the inside of containers
or lids.
1. Press the Membrane (3) into the
holes of the Valve (2). The membrane
should be pressed flat and tight.
2. Mount the assembled valve with
membrane connected to the Breast
Shield (1).

3. Screw the Bottle (4) into the
breast shield.
4. Connect two tubes to the Dou-
ble-Connector (8) separately and
connect the other end of the tub-
ing to the Single-Connector (6).
Then insert the Single-Connector
into the hole of the breast shield.
5. Connect the Double-Connector
to the Collector (10).
(NOTE: For single-pumping use
with one breast, disconnect one
tube from the Double-Connector
and insert into the Double-Con-
nector Cap (9) instead. When
switching to single-pumping the
suction power at each level will
be slightly stronger than that of
double-pumping suction. Be sure
to adjust the vaccum to a comfort-
able level.)

Connecting the Expression
Collection Kit and Pump Unit
1. Connect the Collector (10) to the
pump’s air vent.
2. Attach the power cord to the
pump unit. Then plug the A/C
Adapter (12) into the all-socket
outlet.
Device Operation
• Wash hands before touching the breast pump, kit, and breasts. Avoid
touching the inside of accessories, containers, or lids.
• Always inspect breast shields, connectors, valves, and tubing prior to use
for cleanliness.
• If you experience pain or other symptoms while pumping, contact a
healthcare professional.
• Do not try to express with a vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable.
• Make sure tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping.
• Contact your healthcare professional if you express minimal milk or no
milk, or if expression is painful.

then move to the Expression Mode at Suction Level 2 with Speed
Level 1 (factory default).
4. If your milk starts to flow earlier, press the MODE button to toggle
between Stimulation and Expression modes. Make sure the milk
is flowing into the bottle properly. If you do not press the MODE
button, the pump will automatically switch to Expression mode after
two minutes.
5. Press the MODE button to toggle between Stimulation and Ex-
pression modes.
6. To adjust the suction to your comfort level during pumping, press
the “+” on the SUCTION CONTROL button to increase the suction,
or the “-“ to decrease the suction.

the “+” on the SPEED CONTROL button to increase the speed, or
the “-“ to decrease the speed.
8. Once you are finished pumping, switch off the breast pump,
unplug the device, and disassemble the pump. Clean the device
and accessories per the Cleaning Instructions. Close the bottle and
store it for later use.

Tips for Freezing/Thawing Breast Milk
• DO NOT refreeze breast milk after thawing.
• Never fill bottles more than three-quarters high to allow space for expansion.
• Label the bottle with the date you expressed the milk.
• When storing breast milk in the refrigerator or freezer compartment, make
sure to store away from the door in order to avoid fluctuations in tempera-
ture.
• In order to preserve the components of the breast milk, thaw in the refrig-
erator overnight or by holding the bottle under running warm water (max.
98.6°F/37°C).
• Shake the bottle gently to blend any fat that has separated.
• Do not thaw frozen breast milk in a microwave oven or in a pan of boiling
water (danger of burning).
