Assembly

2
Correctly assembling your pump is so important for successfully expressing
milk. Depending on what’s wrong, an improperly assembled pump can either
not work at all, or work incorrectly risking irreparable damage to the motor.
Assembling the Milk Collection Kit
Follow these instructions if you have the Spectra S1, S2, S9 plus, or M1.

Assembling the Backflow Protector
1. Insert the membrane into the bottom piece (the piece that
connects to the breastshield) as illustrated to the right. Ensure
that it fits snugly into and curl the membrane lip around the rim
of the bottom piece.
2. Fit the top piece (the piece that connects to the tubing) over the
bottom piece and membrane by pressing the bottom snugly into
the rim of the top piece.
Correctly assembling the backflow protector is so important. It prevents milk
and moisture from entering your tubing which can cause irreparable damage
to the motor, or worse, mould! Ensure that the backflow protector has been
sterilized and allowed to completely dry on a clean paper towel prior to
assembly. The backflow protector does not need to be cleaned or sterilized
prior to each use - only if moisture should enter the component. Always
inspect the backflow protector for moisture and damage prior to pumping.
Membranes should be replaced regularly.

Milk Collection Kit for the Dew 350
The Dew 350 adheres to a slightly different assembly process than the other
pumps. The major difference is that instead of backflow protectors, the milk
collection kit uses backflow filters between the pump and the tubing to
prevent moisture from entering the motor (see image below). Aside from
having no backflow protectors, the milk collection kits are exactly the same
and can be interchanged between pumps (do not use backflow protectors
with the Dew 350).

5
Membrane and Valve
The Dew 350 comes with a blue valve and membrane. This serves the same
function as the duckbill valves which come with the other pumps (in fact,
the two are interchangeable, meaning you can use either the silicone duck
valves or the membrane & valve sets with any of your Spectra breastshields).
To assemble, make sure the tab on the underside of the membrane is
inserted into the matching tab on the valve (the half-circle shaped hole).
Press it in all the way.
When assembled correctly, the membrane will lay flat against the valve.

6
Assembling the Power Adaptor
The power adaptor that comes with the S1, S2, S9 Plus and M1 will need to
be assembled (note that the Dew 350 comes with an integrated power
cable).
1. Connect the power charger and the Australian adaptor by pushing
the two components together.
2. You will hear a loud click once they are fully assembled. When fully-
assembled, the Australian adaptor will be locked in place (not move
freely) and require a significant amount of force to remove it.
3. When assembled properly, the regional adaptor will not be visible
from the back side (see image below, right).

7
Single or Double Pumping
All of the Spectra electric breast pumps are capable of both single and double
pumping. They each come with two milk collection kits to give you
everything you need to double pump. However, there are some situations
you might prefer to single pump (e.g. if you’re feeding the baby on the other
side), so our pumps also have the integrated capability to single pump.
Double Pumping with the Dew 350, S1, S2 and S9
Note: Should the cap be difficult to remove, we recommend using a pair of
tweezers to gently rock it back and forth until it comes off.
To single pump, ensure that the
integrated cap is placed securely
over one of the air ports, and
tubing is inserted securely onto
the other (see right). To double
pump, remove the cap and
securely place tubing over the
second air port (see below).

8
Double Pumping with the M1
The M1 is fully set-up for single pumping out of the box. Simply insert the
tubing firmly onto the air port. For double pumping, each pump kit comes
with a small splitter in the bag (there should be 2 in each box). Insert the
splitter directly into the air port. Then, insert the tubing over each of the
splitter’s air ports (see images below). The splitter has an integrated cap for
single-pumping, so you can leave the splitter attached at all times.
