HOW TO USE THE MANUAL BREAST PUMP
Wash your breasts in soap and water or, alternatively, use the practical CHICCO
Natural Feeling cleansing wipes. It is not necessary to cleanse the breasts if
you are using the Chicco Natural Feeling Anti-Bacteria Nursing Pads. Sit in a
comfortable position and relax. It can be useful to gently massage your breast
with concentric movements of your fingers, starting from the outer area and
moving in towards the areola; this will stimulate the galactophore ducts and help
the milk to flow more easily.
Position the anatomical cup (2) comfortably on the breast.
Set the level you consider most comfortable on the flow regulation valve (4).

If the breast pump is being used for the first time, we recommend to set the valve
to the minimum level and to increase it gradually until the most suitable level
of intensity is found. In case the suction intensity selected causes an irritating
sensation, it is recommended to reduce the intensity.
It is possible to adjust the suction speed by applying gentle, rhythmic pressure to
the handle (3), until you find the ideal extraction speed.
Warning: If the movement of the handle is difficult or insufficiently smooth, it is
recommended to slightly oil the piston ring with some baby oil or similar product
(to perform this operation, follow the instructions provided in the CLEANING,
SANITISING & MAINTENANCE section. And Handle Cleaning & Maintenance
section).
