Using your electronic pump
as a manual breast pump
Your electronic breast pump can also be used as a manual pump. In this case,
you simply need to replace the control handle with the manual handle (p) and
pump cover (q) provided.
Assembling your manual breast pump (see diagram F)
Ensure you have disassembled, washed and sterilised all the parts.
Follow steps 1-5 as before (see diagram D), then proceed to step 6 and 7
(see diagram F):
6. Position the forked end of the handle (p) under the diaphragm stem (b)
and push down gently on the handle until you hear it ‘click’ into place.
7. Click the pump cover (q) onto the pump body (d).
How to use your manual breast pump (see diagram G)
1. Bring the assembled pump to your breast. Position the Let-down Massage
Cushion firmly onto your breast so as to create a perfect seal (ensure no
strand of hair or piece of clothing is trapped).
2. Once comfortable, gently squeeze the handle 5 or 6 times fairly quickly to
initiate let-down. When you see your milk beginning to flow, establish a
rhythm of pumping to meet your own comfort level.
