We’ve taken everything women loved about our classic Manual Breast Pump –
the soft petal massager and fingertip sensitive control that make it feel so
gentle, natural and comfortable – and we’ve given it an electronic memory.
The Twin Electronic Breast Pump learns from you. Begin by pumping manually,
then touch the button and let the Twin Electronic Breast Pump quietly continue
your exact pumping rhythm.
If at any time you want to
vary the rhythm, touch the
button again to revert to
manual. The Twin Electronic
Breast Pump is totally
responsive to your needs.
Relax and enjoy the experience
because you’re always in
complete control. And when
you’re relaxed and comfortable,
you express more milk, faster.
Please take a few minutes to read through the ENTIRE
INSTRUCTION LEAFLET before you use your Philips AVENT Twin
Electronic Breast Pump for the first time. PLEASE SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
Unless advised otherwise by your health professional it is best to wait until your
breastfeeding routine is established before expressing – usually around four weeks.

connector (l) or pump motor (m).
These components DO NOT come into contact with your breast milk.
You can wipe the pump motor and control handle clean, using a soft cloth.
Cleaning and sterilising the pump bodies
Before you use your breast pump for the first time
and every time before use, you must disassemble,
wash and sterilise all the breast pump parts that
come into contact with your breast milk.
You can use the dishwasher (top rack only) or hand
wash in warm, soapy water and then rinse thoroughly.
Sterilise these parts in a steam steriliser (electric,
electronic or microwave), or by boiling in water
for 5 minutes.
m
Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners or
detergents as they may cause the plastic to crack.
To clean the valve, rub gently between your fingers
in warm soapy water – do not insert objects as this
may cause damage.
Keeping your pump sterile and
compact for travel
After sterilising all parts, insert the white valve and
diaphragm into the pump body (d) and clip the funnel
cover (h) over the Let-down Massage Cushion (g).
Now screw the sealing base (s) onto the pump body (d)
in place of the milk container.

How to assemble your pump
If you are single or double pumping – to assemble the
first pump (see diagram D):
1. With clean hands, insert the white valve (c) into the pump body (d) from
the bottom making sure that the pointed side of thevalve faces downwards.
2. Twist the milk container (e) onto the pump body until securely in place.
3. To ensure the pump doesn’t topple, insert the 125ml/4oz milk container
into the stand provided (f).
4. Place thesilicone diaphragm(b) intothe pumpbody (d), making sure it fits
securelyaround the edge, to create a seal.(This is easierif thediaphragm is wet.)
5. Carefully insert the Let-down Massage Cushion (g) into the pump body (d),
making sure it completely covers the edge of the funnel. (This is easier if
the Let-down Massage Cushion is wet.)
6. Firmly push the control handle (a) onto the pump body (d) so that it sits
securely on top of the silicone diaphragm (b).
7. If not already attached, push the transparent tube ( j) securely onto the
control handle (a) and click the control cable (i) into the adjacent socket.
8. Now attach the other end of the cable into the control cable socket on the
rear of the pump motor (m) and securely connect the twin tubing (k) to the
ports above.
9. You can keep the other transparent tube out of the way for now by
attaching it to the white clip.
10. Connect the electric adaptor (n) to the pump motor (m).
11. Connect the wall plug lead (o) securely to the electric adaptor and then
plug into an electrical wall socket.
12. Switch the pump motor on.

How to assemble your pump with VIA
If you use the Twin Electronic Breast Pump with VIA,
simply replace the bottle with the VIA Adaptor and Cup.
Follow step 1 as before (see diagram D), then proceed to
step 2 and 3 (see diagram E):
2. Twist the VIA Cup (y) into the Adaptor (x),
then twist into the pump body (d).
3. To ensure the pump doesn’t topple,insert
VIAinto thestandprovided (z).
Then continue with steps 4-12(see diagram D)
For double pumping – to assemble the twin pump (see diagram F):
Follow steps 1-5 as before (see diagram D), then proceed to step 6 and 7
(see diagram F):
6. Push the double pumping connector (l) onto the 2nd pump body (d) so that
it sits firmly on top of the silicone diaphragm (b).
7. If not already attached, push the 2nd transparent tube (j) securely onto the
double pumping connector (l).
How to use your pump
Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean. Relax in a
comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions to support your back).
Make sure you have a glass of water nearby as expressing can be thirsty work.
A photograph of your baby will help too.
To begin pumping (see diagram G)
1. Switch on your pump and the light on the top of the pump motor
will flash ORANGE rapidly. The light will then change to a continuous GREEN
to indicate that the pump is ready to use. If at any time this light is
flashing RED, stop and consult the ‘Troubleshooting guide’ on pages 18-19.
Press the assembled control pump firmly against your breast to create a seal.
Usingthe control handle you can find your exact comfort level. As you press
down on the handle you will feel greatersuction against your breast. You don’t
need to squeeze the handlefully, only as far as feels comfortablefor you.
2. Begin by gently squeezing the handle 5 or 6 times quite quickly, simulating
the rapid suckling you usually feel when your baby is first put to the breast.
Your milk will soon begin to flow and you can establish a slower, comfortable
pumping pattern. Many mothers find that holding down the handle for 2 to 3
seconds at a time imitates the feeling of their baby breastfeeding.
3. When you have established a comfortable pumping rhythm with at least
2 squeezes, simply press the control button on the handle, and the Twin
Electronic Breast Pump will automatically continue in the same way. The
light on the pump motor will turn from solid GREEN to flashing GREEN. Your
pattern will now be stored in the pump’s memory – even after the pump has
been switched off!
To double pump
Check that the pump is assembled exactly as described on page 11. When
you’re ready to double pump the second pump will already have learned your
pumping pattern, all you have to do is hold it against your other breast and
create a seal, just as you did with the controller pump. Or if you prefer you can
start with both pumps against your breasts.
To change your pumping rhythm
If at any time you want to change your pumping rhythm, pressthecontrol button
again and the pump will revert to manual fingertipcontrol.The light will turn back
to solidGREEN.You can now pump manually until you are comfortable again. Then
press the control button again and theTwin Electronic Breast Pump will continue
your chosen rhythm.
To stop pumping
If at any time the suction becomes uncomfortable or if you want to stop
pumping, press the control button and break the seal between the breast and
the pump body with your finger. You can then turn the pump motor off.
To collect and store your milk
After you have expressed your milk, unscrew the pump body from the milk
container. If you’re using AVENT Breast Milk Containers, insert a sealing disc
1314
into the screw ring (r) and twist it onto the milk container. If you’re using
VIA, unscrew the adaptor (x) and screw a lid (z) onto the cup (y).
On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml/2-4ozs
from each breast. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to
woman. If you find that you regularly express more than 125ml/4oz per
session, please use a 260ml/9oz AVENT Breast Milk Container.
Breast milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer in either sterile breast milk
containers (125ml/4oz, 260ml/9oz or 330ml fitted with sealing discs) or in
pre-sterilised VIA Cups. Do not overfill the milk container and be sure to keep
it upright, otherwise it may leak. To feed, just replace the sealing disc with
an AVENT Teat.
Alternatively replace the VIA Lid with a sterilised VIA Adaptor, screw ring,
dome cap and AVENT Teat.
Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately.
Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored to
be fed to your baby.
Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to
48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
If you are storing freshly expressed milk in the fridge to add to
during the day, only add milk which has been expressed into a
sterile container. Milk can only be kept like this for a maximum
of 48 hours from first expression, after which it must be used
immediately or frozen for future use.
Frozen breast milk can be defrosted overnight in the
refrigerator, heated gradually in warm water or heated
in a Philips AVENT Bottle and Baby Food Warmer.
Note:
• NEVER refreeze breast milk.
• DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.
• ALWAYS discard any milk that is left over at the end of a feed.
• Never heat milk in a microwave as this may destroy valuable nutrients
and antibodies. In addition, the uneven heating may cause hot spots in
the liquid which could cause burns to the throat.
• Never immerse a frozen milk container or VIA Cup in boiling water as this
may cause it to crack/split.
• Never put boiling water directly into a VIA Cup, allow to cool for around
20 minutes before filling.
Hints to help you succeed
Using a breast pump takes practice. You may need to make several attempts
before you succeed, but because the Twin Electronic Breast Pump is so simple
and comfortable to use, you will soon get used to expressing milk.
1. Choose a quiet time when you’re not rushed and unlikely to be disturbed.
2. Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help encourage
your milk to flow.
3. Warmth and relaxation can help, so you might like to try expressing after
a warm bath or shower.
4. Placing a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before you start
pumping can also encourage your milk flow and soothe painful breasts.
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding on the other,
or continue expressing just after a feed.
6. Repositioning the pump on your breasts from time to time can help
stimulate your milk ducts.
7. Some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down Massage
Cushion. However, it has been shown that, in most cases, the massaging
effect of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the
let-down reflex and allows you to express more milk, faster.
8. To relieve engorgement, we recommend gentle and slow single pumping
to relieve the pressure.
Practice with your pump to find the best pumping techniques for you. Don’t
worry if your milk doesn’t flow immediately, relax and continue pumping.
• Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if NO result
is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day.

Using your Electronic Pump as a
Manual Breast Pump
Your Twin Electronic Breast Pump can also be used
as a single manual pump. In this case, you simply
need to replace the control handle or double pumping
connector and silicone diaphragm with the
3 manual pump parts provided (u, v and w).
(see diagram H)
Assembling your Manual
Breast Pump
Ensure you have disassembled, washed
and sterilised all the parts.
As before in diagram D 1, 2, 3, 5, but this time:
6. Place thesilicone diaphragmwith the stem
(w)into thepump body (d),making sureit fits
securelyaround the edge, to create a seal.
(This is easier if thediaphragm is wet.)
7. Position the forked end of the handle (v) under the diaphragm stem (w)
and push down gently on the handle until you hear it ‘click’ into place.
8. Click the pump cover (u) onto the pump body (d).
How to use your Manual Breast Pump (see diagram I)
1. Press the Let-down Massage Cushion firmly against your breast to
create a perfect seal.
2. Gently squeeze the handle 5 or 6 times fairly quickly to initiate let-down.
3. When you see your milk beginning to flow, establish a rhythm of pumping
to meet your own comfort level.
