THE BREAST PUMP AND BREASTFEEDING
Breastfeeding is a very important stage in a baby's and in
a mother's life. For babies, latching on and sucking means
not only satisfying a primary physiological need, but also,
and more importantly, a precious moment in their relation-
ship with their mothers, full of emotions and tactile, audi-
tory, taste, and olfactory sensations. Satisfying this need
gives a great feeling of tranquillity and well-being to both
the mother and her child. Breast milk contains all the nutri-
ents required to meet infants' nutritional and psychological
needs at least for the first 6 months of their lives.
Chicco's electric breast pump helps extend breastfeeding,
in the event of excess milk or when you cannot always be
with your baby. In such cases you can extract milk, store it,
and give it to baby when required.
To guarantee the greatest flexibility and convenience, the
electric breast pump operates both with AA size 1.5V al-
kaline batteries (not supplied) and with a special mains
adaptor (model GQ07-060100-DG, manufactured by: Dong
Guan City GangQi Electronic Co.

SET-UP
• Before using the Breast pump for the first time, please
clean all the components* thoroughly as shown in the"-
CLEANING" paragraph.
• Then assemble the breast pump as follows:
• Push the valve (5) down into the circular duct in the base
of the pump body (4). (Fig. 1)
Note: fit the valve preferably with the tab positioned inside
the pump body.
• Push the outer edge to prevent damaging the valve and
make sure that both closing edges of the assembled valve
are joined together. If not, reposition the valve, making
sure that the two edges are correctly aligned.
For better comfort, the silicone cover (3) may be assembled
on the pump body (4). Insert the silicone cover well into the
cone of the pump body, and seal it around the outer rim of
the pump body (Fig.2). Press the pads of the cover to expel
any air trapped inside.
• Fit the membrane cover (2) onto the silicone membrane
(1) and insert the membrane and cover (pre-assembled)
onto the pump body (4) (Fig.3)
• Screw the NaturalFeeling feeding bottle (6) onto the
threaded base of the pump body (4). (fig.4)
• Use the practical base (9) to lay the assembled product on
a flat surface and improve its stability.
• To use the breast pump with its mains adaptor (19), attach
the connector (20) to the socket on the motor unit (10)
and then insert the mains adaptor plug into a wall socket.
(Fig. 5)
• To use the breast pump with alkaline batteries, open the
cover of the battery compartment (12) and insert four AA
size 1.5V batteries (not included) making sure you match
the polarity markings. Close the compartment. The dura-
tion of the alkaline batteries may change based on the
used brand and their charge status.
• WARNING: As a precaution, always remove the batteries
from the motor body (10) if the breast pump is powered
by the mains adaptor (19) and/or if it is not used for a long
time.
• For the Single Electric Breast Pump 000091993000000
connect the silicone tube (17) with the membrane cov-
er (2) (Fig. 6), whereas for Double Electric Breast Pump
000091994000000 connect the silicone tubes from the
splitter kit (18) with the membrane covers.
• Insert the rigid connector of the silicone tube (17) for the
Single Electric Breast Pump 000091993000000 or (18) for
the Double Electric Breast Pump 000091994000000 in the
