and rinse thoroughly.

• Discard Drop-Ins®Pre-formed Soft Bottle Liners or standard liners after each use.
• If any parts are lost or damaged, call 1-800-667-4860 to purchase replacement parts. See the list of
replacement parts on page 13.

How to Operate
your Playtex
™
Embrace
™
Breast Pump
Before you operate your Playtex™Embrace™
Breast Pump, be sure you have assembled
correctly the Breast Cups and connected
them to the Pump. For proper suction
levels and function, there must be no air
leaks or opening between the Pump and
the Breast Cups. Check that the tubing and
Breast Cups are fully sealed.
If Double Pumping…
If double pumping, try holding both cups
with one arm as shown. This method allows
you to keep one hand free while you begin
pumping. Be sure to position each Breast
Cup with your nipple centered on the cup.
1If Single Pumping…
If single pumping, position the
Breast Cup on your breast with
your nipple centered in the cup.
Begin Pumping.
Press the On/Off button on the Pump
to begin pumping. We recommend that
you start with the speed and suction
levels on their lowest settings.
Adjust Speed and
Suction levels.
Using the arrow buttons, increase/
decrease the speed and suction
levels until you find the levels that
are comfortable for you.
Stop Pumping.
When you have finished pumping, press the On/Off button on the Pump. The Pump will remember
your speed and suction levels while it is still plugged in.
