Power Options
The pump may be operated under any of the following power supply modes:
AC Adapter (included)
Connect the AC adapter to the power receptacle
located on the right side of the pump. Plug the
AC adapter into an available electrical outlet.
Electrical safety can only be achieved when the
breast pump is connected to the AC Power
Adapter supplied with the product.
(See "Technical Data" section, page 15-16 )
6 AA Alkaline Batteries (not included)
Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly
according to the polarity (+) and (-) as indicated.
Close the compartment by gently pressing the
cover until it snaps into place.
Remove batteries if pump is not in use for a long
period of time. Dispose of batteries according
to regulations for environmental protection and
recycling. Replace batteries as a simultaneous set.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard (carbon-zinc)
batteries. If batteries are in the pump, but AC adapter is in use, the pump will use
the adapter to power the pump, not the batteries. For the most economical use, we
recommend using your pump with the AC adapter provided. Your AC adaptor is a
universal AC plug adaptor type and can be used with 100 Vac to 240 Vac systems
with 50Hz and 60Hz mains.
Breastmilk Storage Guidelines
Breastmilk Storage and Thawing Guidelines
For Healthy Term Babies
Check with your healthcare provider or an International Board Certified Lactation
Consultant for specific storage instructions.
When you are freezing your breastmilk, do not fill containers more than ¾ full to
allow for expansion from freezing. Date containers with the date you expressed
your milk for future reference.

Breastmilk Storage Guidelines
Note: DO NOT store breastmilk in freezer door. The door tends to be
the warmest part of the freezer.
Date all breastmilk and use the oldest breastmilk first.
Thawing
Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator or place the containers under cool running
water, gradually warming the water until the milk is thawed. Thawed milk can be
kept in a refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
NOTE: DO NOT refreeze milk once it is thawed.
Gently shake thawed milk before feeding to baby to mix the layers that have
separated. Breastmilk is not homogenized and the "cream" will rise to the top of
the bottle. Breastmilk can vary in color and consistency depending upon the time
of the day that the milk was expressed, what you have eaten, and the age of the
baby at the time of pumping.
NOTE: DO NOT MICROWAVE HUMAN MILK! Microwaving alters the
composition of the milk. Microwaving also may create "hot spots" in
the milk that could burn the infant.
NOTE: DO NOT thaw breastmilk in hot or boiling water.
