3.5 EMC
The electric breast pump complies with the limits for group 1, class B of a medical electrical device (according to CISPR 11). Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of a device to function properly in its electromagnetic environment without inducing inadmissible electromagnetic interferences. Such interferences can be transmitted among others by connecting cables or air.
Inadmissible interference from the environment can lead to incorrect behaviour of the medical device. Likewise, in certain cases the electric breast pump can cause such interferences with other devices. To resolve the problems, one or more of the following measures should be taken:

• Change the orientation or distance of the device to the source of the interference.
• Use the electric breast pump in a different location.
• Please contact our customer service for further information.

The electric breast pump must not be used directly next to or stacked with other appliances. If such operation is required, the electric breast pump must be observed in order to check its intended operation in this arrangement.
Further precautions with regard to electrical disturbances to maintain basic safety during expected service life are not provided.
Note:
The electric breast pump has no essential features according to EN 60601-1. The system may be interfered with by other devices, even if these devices comply with the emitting requirements specified in CISPR 11
Warning!
Portable HF communication devices (radio devices) (including their accessories, such as antenna cables and external antennas) should not be used at a distance of less than 30 cm (or 12 inches) to the parts and pipes of the electrical breast pump. Failure to do so may result in a reduction in the performance of the equipment.
Warning!
Modifications or extensions to the device or the use of nonrecommended accessories (E.g. mains adapter or USB cable) can result in increased electromagnetic interference or a reduced electromagnetic immunity of the device and lead to a faulty operation.

15 USB cable
5.1 Cleaning (Figure A in reverse order)
Warning! To avoid the risk of electric shock:
Unplug mains adapter 14 from the wall socket before cleaning.
Caution! To avoid damage, carefully clean the lip valve 12. To sterilise the lip valve, we recommend just rinsing and boiling for 5 minutes. Cleaning implements may lead to damage.

1. Dismantle the device as shown in figure B, proceeding in reverse from 7 to 1.
   Warning! Never submerge the pump unit 3, the mains adapter 14, or the USB cable 15 in water, as this will damage the electrical contacts.

2. Clean the following parts with warm water and a little washing-up liquid (or NUK Rinsing Agent). Then rinse the parts in running water:
   10 Breast shield
   11 Silicone cushion
   12 Lip valve
   13 Breast milk container
   16 Feeding teat
   17 Screw ring
   18 Protective cap
   19 Sealing disc
   Warning! Milk residues may damage the product and result in microbial growth.
   Caution! The parts should not be cleaned in a dishwasher – dishwasher detergents can cause product damage.
   Note: When rinsing with dishes (for example), certain foodstuffs may discolour the material (e.g. carrot juice) or affect its odour (e.g. fennel tea). This has no effect on the fitness for use or safety of the bottle.

3. Next, sterilise all parts (see “5.2 Sterilising“ on page 28).

4. Wipe the pump unit 3 with a damp cloth.

5.2 Sterilising
Before sterilising, clean as described in the section entitled “5.1 Cleaning)”.
Warning! Risk of scalding during sterilisation.
Caution!

• For boiling or steam sterilising (temperature above 80 °C), dismantle into each of its component parts and leave unassembled, otherwise deformation can result.
• The pump unit 3, the mains adapter 14 and the USB cable 15 must never be sterilised in the above way, as this can damage the electrical contacts and cause deformation.
• Incorrect treatment can damage the parts.
• Before using again, allow the sterilised parts to cool and dry completely before reassembling.
• When sterilising, do not use any chemical disinfectants.

1. Use a NUK Steam Steriliser, following the operating instructions for the device. Alternatively,

2. sterilise the parts in boiling water for 5 minutes.
   Ensure there is sufficient water in the pan to avoid product damage. Alternatively,

3. use a NUK Micro Express Plus Microwave Steam Steriliser for sterilisation in your microwave oven.
   • Only use the NUK Micro Express Plus Microwave Steam Steriliser for microwave sterilisation. Follow the operating instructions of the device.

5.3 Special cleaning of tube and filter

1. If milk enters the tube 4, switch the device off immediately.

2. Dismantle the device as shown in figure B, proceeding in reverse from 7 to 1.

3. Remove the filter 6 (see figure C).

4. Clean the following parts with lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid and/ or NUK Rinsing Agent:
   – rinse filter 6 ;
   –flush tube 4 with push-on tube connector 7.

5. Reassemble according to figure C or B in reverse order and then use the blow-dry function (see “5.4 Tube blow-dry function“ on page 29) of the device to dry the tube 4 and the push-on tube connector 7.

Note: Since the filter 6 would be a virtually impermeable barrier while wet or damp, it would inhibit the blow-dry function and the pump suction. Insert the dry replacement filter instead. Leave the freshly cleaned and rinsed damp filter to air-dry for at least 4 hours.
Shake the freshly cleaned filter to remove most of the water. Then leave the filter, which is still damp, to air-dry for at least 4 hours.
5.4 Tube blow-dry function

1. Assemble the device as shown in figure B. Do not insert a filter that is still damp, but use a dry replacement filter instead.

2. To start the blow-dry function press the master power switch 27 and then simultaneously touch the buttons 23 and 26.
   The blow-dry function runs for 5 minutes.

3. Check that the tube is completely dry (no droplets visible inside), before starting the next pumping session.
   If the tube is not yet completely dry, start the blow-dry function again.
   You can pause the blow-dry function by touching the Pause button 26 and continue it later by touching the Pause button 26 again.

4. To stop the blow-dry function, switch the pump unit off by pressing the master power switch 27.

Assembling the pump

6.1 To express using one breast shield

1. Assemble the device as shown in figure B steps 1 to 7.

Note: Make sure the silicone cushion 11 fits snugly in the breast shield 10 and the lip valve 12 is properly mounted, as the pump can otherwise draw in air, which will prevent it from working properly.
6.2 To express using two breast shields

1. Assemble the two breast shields with the breast milk container as shown in figure B, steps 1 to 3.
2. Assemble the device as shown in figure D, steps 1 to 3.

Power supply

7.1 Mains operation
Warning! Only the mains adapter included in the NUK packaging must be used for operation from mains power. To disconnect from the mains supply, unplug the mains adapter from the socket.
7.2 Power supply via a USB power source
If no mains power supply is available, you can supply the breast pump with power using a USB power source.
The USB power source must deliver an output current of at least 2 amperes.

• If the power supply supplies a current less than 2 amperes, an error message will appear in the display when the pump is switched on and you will hear a beep. Nature Sense model display: Symbol 38

First Choice + model display: • No further check of the power supply is made once the device is in operation.

1. Plug the large USB connector of the USB connecting cable 15 into the USB power source.

22. If you used the mains adapter 14, unplug it in order to ensure that the device is completely disconnected from mains power.

23. Unscrew the breast milk container 13 from the breast shield 10.
    Make sure you hold the breast milk container upright while doing so.

24. Clean the necessary components immediately after completing your pumping session (see “5 Cleaning and Sterilising“ on page 28).

8.2 Automatic switch-off
If no buttons are touched during operation (during an active pumping session), the pump unit will automatically switch to startup mode after 30 minutes. This does not apply when the Memory function is being used. In other words, once started, a saved pumping session will always run through until the end before the device switches to start-up mode.
If no buttons are touched when the pump unit is in start-up mode or pause mode, it will automatically switch off after 15 minutes.
8.3 Mobile operation
You can use the pump while you are moving about, using the shoulder strap to carry it. The shoulder strap is securely fixed to the pump unit.

1. Should the shoulder strap need cleaning, detach it from the lug 1, wash it in water with a little soap or gentle detergent, and air dry it before reattaching it to the lug 1 on the pump unit.

Note: The shoulder strap 21 must not be sterilised as this might damage it.
8.4 Feeding expressed milk
Screw the feeding teat 16 onto the breast milk container 13 using the screw ring 17.
If your collected breast milk is not for immediate use, firmly seal the filled breast milk container 13 with the sealing disc 19 and screw ring 17 and store it in your refrigerator or freeze it (see “11 Storing Milk“ on page 34).

Tips for Successful Expressing

You will first need to get used to your new pump. Correct expressing takes practice.
9.1 Frequency
How often you need to express depends on the reason for expressing. If you will be apart from your child and/or want to sustain milk production, the natural breastfeeding rhythm should be maintained. You should therefore express 6 to 8 times daily, including once during the night. In all other cases you should express entirely according to your personal wishes and requirements.
9.2 Method
Milk should be expressed from each breast in turn. The different settings you can choose for your pumping session allow you to emulate the natural suckling action of your baby as closely as possible.

• In the “stimulation phase”, the rhythm is rapid and urgent to stimulate the milk flow reflex. This emulates the suckling action of most babies, which will initially suck rapidly and avidly at the start of feeding.
• In the “milk flow phase”, suction is slow and strong to ensure maximum milk flow. Again, this corresponds to most babies’ natural behaviour. As soon as a baby’s initial appetite is satisfied, it will change to a calm, slow and intensive sucking action while drinking its fill. If the milk flow drops:
• Change breasts
• Alternatively, you can repeat the”stimulation phase” in order to stimulate your milk flow reflex anew.

The amount of time needed to express milk will vary considerably from one person to another.
9.3 Quantity of milk
Don’t be surprised if it takes a little while for the milk to start to flow properly at first. This is not unusual. In fact it is quite normal because milk production adapts itself to daily requirements.
This means that the quantity of milk produced may vary considerably.

• Ensure you drink plenty of liquid yourself.
• Do not set suction strength too high. A higher suction strength does not increase the quantity of milk produced.

9.4 Let-down reflex
During natural breastfeeding, placing the baby on the breast stimulates the let-down reflex and milk begins to flow. You can also stimulate the let-down reflex as follows:

• Find yourself a quiet place to sit, where you can relax fully when using the breast pump.
• Adopt a comfortable and relaxed sitting position.
• Place a warm compress on your breast for a few minutes, to relax the tissue, and massage your breast.
• The let-down reflex triggers milk flow in both breasts simultaneously. You can use the NUK Breast Shell Set to collect breast milk leaking from the breast you are not currently expressing.

Hygiene tips

Hygiene is particularly important when using the breast pump. This applies to all the individual pump components as well as to your own personal hygiene. We recommend regularly washing your nipples in clean water. Where possible, avoid using soap on your nipples, as this can cause irritation.

Storing Milk

11.1 With Breast Milk Container
Breast milk may be chilled, frozen and defrosted in the breast milk container 13. The breast milk container 13 may also be used for warming and feeding. It is important that you follow the instructions about handling breast milk which is provided in “11.2 Important notes for handling breast milk” on page 35. Warning! To ensure adequate hygiene at all times:
If your collected breast milk is not for immediate use, firmly seal the filled breast milk container 13 with the sealing disc 19 and screw ring 17 and store it in your refrigerator or freeze it.
Using a suitable pen or label, write the date and the time when the breast milk was expressed. Be sure to note the retention periods in “11.2 Important notes for handling breast milk” on page 35.
Caution! To avoid damage:

• When freezing breast milk, do not fill the breast milk container 13 with more than 150 ml (5 fl oz), as breast milk expands as it freezes and the container could burst.

For a space saving solution you can use NUK Breast Milk Bags for freezing and storage of breast milk.
11.2 Important notes for handling breast milk

If time is short, defrost container with breast milk in lukewarm water (max. 37°C), then feed immediately.|

Warning! To ensure adequate hygiene at all times:
If transporting chilled breast milk make sure that it stays chilled at all times, otherwise the milk could go off and be harmful to your baby. Use a cooler bag with ice packs, for example.
Defrosted, warmed or unused milk must be disposed of and not refrozen.
Warning! Risk of scalding and risk of destroying valuable nutrients:
Do not use a microwave to defrost breast milk, as this can destroy valuable nutrients and damage the container material (risk of explosion). Uneven heating may result in scalding!
If milk is heated excessively, you risk destroying the vitamins and other valuable nutrients it contains. There is also a risk of scalding for your baby.
Always check the temperature of your warmed up breast milk before feeding it to your baby.

1. To achieve the correct drinking temperature of approx. 37 °C, put the container of defrosted breast milk in the baby food warmer.
   Caution! The container must be open to prevent pressure build-up as the milk warms up.

2. Shake the milk gently before feeding so that milk and milk fat are properly mixed again.

3. If you express breast milk more than once within a period of 24 hours, the freshly expressed milk may be added to the previously cooled breast milk. However freshly expressed milk must be cooled down before being added to milk that is already cool. The temperatures must be the same (cold on cold).

Notes:

• Consult your health visitor, midwife, doctor or pharmacist for detailed information about long-term storage.
• You can find more information about breastfeeding on our NUK website (www.nuk.com).

Troubleshooting

is adequately charged (see “7.3 Battery operation (Nature Sense model only)” on page 30).
For mains operation: check that the mains plug and mains adapter are correctly inserted
When using a USB power source: Check whether this can deliver at least
2 amperes of current.
Lip valve missing, incorrectly positioned or damaged| Check that the lip valve is correctly positioned
If it is damaged, use the replacement lip valve supplied
Breast milk container is full and lip valve is already touching the expressed milk| Replace breast milk container
No suction or suction level too low| Check that the lip valve is correctly fitted.
Make sure that the breast shield forms a complete seal around your breast.
Filter is wet| Remove filter and allow more time to dry or use dry replacement filter (see
“5.3 Special cleaning of tube and filter” on page 29).
Pump suction is weak| Low battery power| Check whether battery power is sufficient (see “7.3 Battery operation (Nature Sense model only)” on page 30).
Suction strength is set too low| Increase the suction strength until you achieve the best results (see ‘Setting the suction strength” on page 31).
Silicone cushion incorrectly positioned and not properly flush with the breast shield| Ensure that the silicone cushion is completely flush with the breast shield
No vacuum can be built up| Ensure that the breast shield is completely flush with the breast
Filter blocked| Clean or replace fitter (see “5.3 Special cleaning of tube and fitter” on page 29).
Filter is wet| Remove filter and allow more time to dry or use dry replacement filter (see
“5.3 Special cleaning of tube and filter” on page 29).
Pump suction too strong| Suction strength is set too high| Reduce suction strength (see “Setting the suction strength” on page 31).
Pump making strange noises| Lip valve unable to cope with milk flow volume| Reduce suction strength (see “Setting the suction strength” on page 31). If you have a high milk flow volume, a low suction strength will be perfectly adequate to achieve good results.
Check whether the breast milk level has already reached the lip valve. If so, replace the breast milk container with an empty one.
Milk has entered the tube| Immediately switch off the pump unit and clean the tube and the filter (see
“5.3 Special cleaning of tube and filter” on page 29).
Nature Sense: The display shows
symbol
First Choice+: Symbol X is lit in the display| Inadequate power supply: Not enough current supplied through mains adapter or USB power source| Mains power operation:
Check that the mains adapter is properly plugged into the power supply socket and the USB connector is firmly pushed into the port on the pump unit.
Check that you are using the correct mains adapter included in the NUK packaging.
When using a USB power source: Ensure that the USB power source used can deliver at least 2 amperes of current. If the USB power source is too weak, it cannot be used.
Replacement parts needed (filter, lip valve)| | Contact your local Service Centre (see “Contact addresses” on page 186).
