Charge Your Pump

Before first use, charge battery 2-3 hours to optimize battery life. A full charge will provide approximately 2 1/2 hours of operation.

Clean Your Parts

Prior to Use:
Boil these parts in large uncovered pots for 10 minutes while stirring. After each use: Clean these parts with hot soapy water and rinse well.

• To avoid damage or malfunction DO NOT use abrasives, brushes, UV or steam sterilization on any Freemie Cup parts.
• Assemble dry parts just before use, and leave parts disassembled in between use.

Tubing parts do not come into contact with milk and need not be cleaned between use. Note: See digital User Manual for complete use and care instructions.

Add Cups to Pump

Test Before Use

Prior to placing Cups in your bra:

1. Turn on pump.
2. Set SUCTION Setting to 10.
3. Set CYCLE Setting to 10.
4. Barrier inside Cup collapses and releases when assembly is correct. If Barrier does not move, reassemble Cups and check all Tubing connections.

Ready to Pump

Place Cups in your bra

1. Bra fit is critical for proper use. Enough pressure is needed to seal the Flange against the breast while too much pressure may cause low output.
2. Before choosing a bra, pump by holding the Cups in place with your hands. Then try several of your bras to find one that most closely holds the Cups like your hands.
3. It may be necessary to adjust your bra to find the best fit for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra can work well.

Finding Your Best Flange Fit
Finding the best Breast Flange fit cannot simply be done by measuring your nipples because some nipples stretch more than others under suction. You can estimate your size, but some trial and error may be needed for you to optimize your comfort and milk output.

Experiment to find the right fit and keep in mind:

• You may need a different size than the Flanges provided.
• You may need a different size for each nipple because no one is perfectly symmetrical.
• You may prefer higher suction, making Flange comfort crucial.
• Your nipple may expand in diameter and length while pumping and may change over time, so keep all of your sizes.

Comfort is key!
It may take a few tries to find what works.

Choosing Another Size
Use a ruler or coin diameters to estimate your erect nipple base size, and review the Flange fit details below. Choose the nearest size Flanges or Fitmie inserts that are slightly larger than your nipples.

Fitmie sizes: 15mm – 26mm sold separately. Flange is too small f or the nipple to move freely in and out of Flange. May cause rubbing or chafing. Flange is too big allowing too much breast and areola tissue to be drawn into Flange. May cause bruising. Flange is correct size
With properly fitted Flanges the nipple moves in and out of the Flange freely. Important: Your bra needs to apply enough pressure to create a good seal on your skin so that air does not leak in and reduce suction. Too much pressure can pinch or obstruct ducts and reduce your milk output.
