Instructions for use

Assembly
Important: Boil before first use (see Cleaning / sterilising).

1.  Assemble according to the illustration
2.  Place the membrane pot securely over the groove of the membrane con rod. Check that the smooth side of the membrane pot faces outwards.
3.  Put on the casing cover in the desired position:
4.  Standard position
5. Lever position left side
6. Lever position right side The mark on the casing cover must lie on top of the mark on the breast shell. Then rotate the casing cover clockwise.
7. The lever is mounted on the membrane con rod and by means of light pressure downwards clicks into the casing cover.

Expressing milk

•  Wash your hands, sit down comfortably and relax.
• Place the casing cover in the desired position and tighten it.
• Centre the nipple so that when pumping it moves freely in the breast shell/breast shell insert and pump by activating the lever.
• Adjusting the suction intensity (vacuum): The further you press the lever, the greater the suction intensity. 1
• Adjusting the speed interval: The faster you move the lever up and down, the higher the pumping frequency. 2
• Our recommendation: Begin at a high speed interval and at low suction intensity in order to stimulate the milk ejection reflex. Once the milk is flowing, reduce the speed interval and increase the suction intensity

Choice of breast shell and Optiflow massage insert

If your nipple rubs uncomfortably on the inner side of the funnel, use a larger breast shell/breast shell insert. If the areola is also sucked into the funnel, use a smaller breast shell. The Optiflow massage insert can only be used with the 31 mm breast shell.

Storage of breast milk

Recommended storage time at room temperature: 3–4 hours at 16–29°C (60–85°F); in the refrigerator: 3 days at ≤4°C (39°F); in freezing compartment with door: 6 months to 1 year at <-17°C (0°F)

Cleaning / sterilising

At home: After each use, wash with washing-up liquid and rinse well. Once a day: disassemble and boil the components for 10 minutes, or put in the dishwasher, microwave (in the microwave bag) or steam steriliser, then dry and cover with a clean cloth. Do not clean the valve with the brush. The lever, casing cover and bottle stand can, but need not, be boiled.
In hospitals: Disassemble and sterilise at 121°C (250°F) for 20 minutes / 134°C (273°F) for 5 minutes. The lever, casing cover and bottle stand can, but need not, be sterilised. Can be disinfected by wiping.

Possible problems and troubleshooting

Weak or no vacuum:

• Ensure that the Amaryll manual breastpump has been correctly assembled and is not damaged.
• Check whether the lip valve is cracked or stuck together.
• Make sure that the casing cover seals well.

Pain when pumping:

• Ensure that the nipple is in the middle of the breast shell.
• Check that the breast shell size fits your nipples.
• If problems continue seek professional help.
