Mini ElectricTM Breastpump

Mother’s milk is the best nutrition for babies. Mini Electric gives you and your baby

optimal support during the breastfeeding period. The attractive small electric breastpump

is especially suitable for occasional pumping at home or on the go.

When using electrical devices, basic safety precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

Read all instructions before use.

• Use the product only for its intended use as described in this instruction manual.

• Only use the mains adapter that comes with the Mini Electric Breastpump.

• Make sure the voltage of the mains adapter is compatible with the power source.

• Plug the mains adapter into Mini Electric Breastpump first and then into the wall socket.

• Always unplug electrical devices immediately after using.

• The product should never be left unattended when plugged into a power source.

• Separation from the mains is only assured through the disconnection of the mains

adapter from the wall socket outlet.

• Keep the mains adapter away from heated surfaces.

• Never operate an electrical device if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working

properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Keep appliance dry and do not place in direct sunlight.

• Do not get the product wet.

• Do not use while bathing or showering.

Indications For Use

The Mini Electric Breastpump is a powered breastpump:

absences from the baby (e.g. an evening out from baby, working part-time).

• To relieve engorgement.

• For home use and on the go.

3EN

• Do not place in or drop motor unit into water or other liquid.

• Do not store or use this product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.

• Do not spray or pour liquid directly onto the pump.

• Do not reach for any electrical device if it has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.

• Use Medela original accessories only.

• Check pump kit components for wear or damage.

• This is a single user product. Use by more than one person may present a health

risk and voids the warranty.

• Pump only with the motor in an upright position.

• Do not use while sleeping or overly drowsy.

• Supervision is necessary when this product is used in the vicinity of children.

• If problems or pain occur, consult your lactation consultant or physician.

• Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with

Electric Breastpump.

• The Mini Electric Breastpump needs special precautions regarding EMC

To install the batteries, slide off the cover of the battery

compartment.

Insert the batteries in the correct position as indicated inside

the battery compartment and slide on the cover back into

place (AA Mignon LR6).

The batteries do not need to be removed if the mains adap-

ter is used for pumping.

Battery operation

Pumping

Be comfortably seated and relax. Use a footrest, when pumping or when feeding your

baby. Elevating your feet puts you into proper sitting position to avoid stress on the lower

back and perineum.

Center your breastshield over your nipple.

Do not tilt or overfill bottles when pumping.

Operation

Insert the metal plug on the end of the mains adapter cord

into the hole on the side of the motor unit.

Plug the electrical connector on the end of mains adapter

cord into power jack (3 V DC).

Choosing the right size of Breastshield

A correctly fitted breastshield avoids compression of any milk ducts during pumping

to ensure optimal breast emptying and maximum milk output.

Your breastshield is the right size if your answer to the following questions is «Yes»:

• Is your nipple moving freely in the tunnel?

• Is minimal or no areolar tissue being pulled into the tunnel of the breastshield?

• Do you see a gentle, rhythmical motion in the breast with each cycle of the pump?

• Do you feel the breast emptying all over?

• Is your nipple pain-free?

If your answer to any of the above questions is «No», try a larger (or smaller) breastshield.

Breastshield: Available in five sizes – because one size does not

fit all.

Breastshield Fitting

Set the vacuum regulator to minimum and switch on the

breastpump by pushing the slide switch upwards.

Adjust the vacuum to your Maximum Comfort VacuumTM.

This is the highest vacuum you can use and still feel com-

fortable (different for every mother). To find your Maximum

Comfort Vacuum increase vacuum until pumping feels slightly

uncomfortable (not painful), then decrease slightly.

Research has shown that you will pump more effi-

ciently – meaning get more milk in less time – when

pumping at Maximum Comfort VacuumTM.

Once finished pumping, switch off the breastpump, unplug

it, and disassemble the pump kit items. Close the bottle and

store it for later use.

Use bottle stand to prevent tip over.

VIlI

• Use drinking water quality for any of the following described

cleaning procedures.

• Clean parts immediately after use to avoid dry up of milk residues

and to prevent from growth of bacteria.
