How to Pump
Powering the Pump

- When the battery power runs out, the Indicator “ “ will flash and the pump will make a short beeping sound before turning off.

If using the pump with the AC adapter:

Getting Started
- Make sure your pump is fully charged if using the battery power or is plugged in to the power outlet if you are using the AC adapter.
- Attach 360 Fit Flange to your breast so that the nipple is centered and aligned straight toward the silicone cushion of the breast shield.
- Make sure your breast fills the breast shield so that a vacuum is formed and no air escapes.
- Long press the on/off button “ ” to switch on the pump.
- Your Twain Breast Pump will always start in the stimulation mode to help with let-down.
NOTE : When you turn the pump on for the very first time, it starts in stimulation phase, suction level 1. After the first use, it will start in the stimulation mode and suction level that was used last.

Once you have had your let-down, press the Suction Mode Control button “ ” to switch to expression mode.
