Intended use:
This device must be used exclusively for pumping breast milk from
nursing mothers. Do not use this device on animals. The device is
only intended for domestic/private use, not for commercial use.
Please read through these instructions carefully in order for you to
understand all functions and safety information.
Dear Customer,
This device allows nursing mothers to express their breast milk
easily and in the comfort of their own homes. If not enough breast
milk is taken from mothers who have recently given birth, this can
lead to the painful build-up of milk, which in the worst-case
scenario could cause inflammation of the nipples (mastitis). This
build-up of milk can be prevented through targeted expressing of
breast milk using the breast pump. In addition, breast pumps help
to alleviate cracked or sore nipples. The breast pump also allows
you to store breast milk in the bottle, for example if you will be trav-
elling or away from your baby for an extended period of time.
Babies who cannot be breast-fed directly for health reasons (due
to a premature birth or cleft palate) can still be given breast milk by
using the breast pump.
If you have any questions, problems or want to order spare parts
please contact your local Microlife-Customer Service. Your dealer
or pharmacy will be able to give you the address of the Microlife
dealer in your country. Alternatively, visit the internet at
www.microlife.com where you will find a wealth of invaluable infor-
mation on our products.
Stay healthy – Microlife AG!

3. Using the Device for the First Time
NOTE:
Check that the packaging of the device has not been tampered
with and make sure that all components are present. Before
use, ensure that there is no visible damage to the device or
accessories and that all packaging material has been removed.
If you have any doubts, do not use the device and contact your
retailer or the specified Customer Services address.
Assembling the device
Once the device has been removed from the packaging, check the
plastic containers in particular for cracks.
1. Screw the pump attachment 1onto the bottle 5. Ensure the
pump attachment is firmly secured so that no liquid can escape
(see short instruction).
2. Attach the handle for the manual pump including the silicone
membrane by pressing the silicone membrane firmly onto the
pump attachment until it clicks into place (see short instructions).
Cleaning and sterilising the device
WARNING
Clean and sterilise the separate parts of the device that
come into direct contact with the breast milk individually
before first use and any further use.
To sterilise the device correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the pump attachment 1from the bottle 5.
2. Remove the silicone membrane 2and silicone valve 3from
the pump attachment.
3. Sterilise the bottle and pump attachment (with silicone
membrane and silicone valve) for five minutes in boiling water or
using a steam steriliser. Do not use the device until all individual
parts are completely dry. Do not use any antibacterial cleaning
products, since these may damage the plastic on the device.
If your breasts are swollen or sore, place a warm towel on them
for a few minutes. This will improve the milk flow.
If the milk does not start to flow from your breasts immediately,
try to relax and then try again a few minutes later.
If the device still does not extract any milk from your breasts
after five minutes, stop using it and try again later.
If you experience any sharp pains when using the device,
consult a doctor.
Operating the device
1. Before using the device, wash your hands and breasts thoroughly.
2. Sit with your upper body lent forwards slightly. You can support
your back better by using a pillow.
3. Then place the breast shield with silicone cushion 4gently on
the breast. Make sure that the nipple is completely enclosed
and there are no air pockets. To ensure proper function, the
breast shield must be drawn firmly onto the breast.
4. You can vary the pump intensity on the manual pump attach-
ment 1by selecting between the MIN/MAX markings that can
be seen. We recommend starting in the MIN position.
NOTE:
See the pictures at the start of the instruction manual for
more information.
Storing the breast milk
Expressed milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer for a certain
period of time.
When storing breast milk, ensure that the device and the bottles
are disinfected before usage. Only store breast milk in disin-
fected containers.
Store breast milk in the fridge or freezer immediately after
expressing. Do not leave breast milk out at room temperature.
If storing breast milk in the freezer, it is recommended that you
mark the bottle with the date of expressing.
4. Directions for Use
Tips to ensure a better milk flow
Choose a time and location to use the device where you can
relax.
Having your child nearby or looking at a picture of your child can
have a positive effect on the milk flow.
If feeding your child using one breast, use the device on the
other breast at the same time.
Warmth and relaxation encourage milk flow. Use the device
after having a shower or bath.

Feeding with the breast milk
NOTE:
You can express the breast milk with an Avent bottle before
feeding (corresponding Avent adapter is included in the box).
Prior to feeding, ensure the bottle has been disinfected before
filling it with the breast milk that has been stored.
To defrost breast milk, store it overnight in the fridge, so as to
retain the nutrients. Once the breast milk is defrosted, it must be
used within 24 hours. Breast milk should only be defrosted in
warm water in especially urgent cases.
If the breast milk smells unpleasant, it should be disposed of
immediately.
Never heat up breast milk in the microwave as it may be heated
unevenly and could burn your child when they drink it.
If heating up the breast milk, check its temperature before
feeding it to your baby.
