Features
• Double-Sided Pumping: Your Spectra S2 comes with everything you
need for double pumping. Expressing from both breasts at the same
time saves you time and better supports milk supply.
• Letdown Mode: Switch with a touch to the letdown mode, which is
a light, quick fluttering mode designed to speed the start of milkflow,
just the way your baby does.
5
• Fully Adjustable Cycle and Vacuum Settings: Touch button controls
allow you to easily adjust the cycle and vacuum levels until you find
what works best for your body.
• Night Light: Choose from two different light levels on the Spectra
S2’s integrated nightlight, a feature you will love when pumping at
night.
• Stylish, Portable Design: Spectra has endeavored to make the most
portable and convenient hospital grade pump ever, with an
integrated handle and integrated bottle stand to make life a little
easier.
Important Safeguards
Carefully read all the instructions prior to using the Spectra S2. Follow the
safety guidelines below when using your pump. Failure to follow the below
guidelines may result in damage to the machine and/or serious injury to
yourself.
Hygiene
• The pump kits that come with this pump are for single use only and
are not intended for multiple users. If this pump is shared by multiple
users, every mum must have her own shield kit. Use by multiple users
risks the spread of transmissible diseases.
• This breast pump is a closed system with the use of the backflow
protector, preventing milk from entering the system tubing.
• Always follow the directions in this manual for cleaning and storage
of your breast pump and parts.
• Failure to follow the guidelines provided or use of the Spectra S2
with attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may pose
a health risk and will void the warranty.
Pain or Discomfort
You should not experience pain or discomfort when using your breast pump.
Do not turn the suction level above your comfort level. Ensure that the
breast shields are fitted correctly (see the Breastshield Sizing portion of this
6
manual on page 14 for more information). If you experience pain or
discomfort, stop using the breast pump and seek help from your care
provider, a certified lactation consultant, or the Spectra customer service
team, as appropriate.
General Safety Guidelines
• Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
• Use the product only for its intended use and with attachments
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Handle the power cord, adapter and plug with care; do not leave on
a heated surface, do not pull on or twist the power cord, do not wrap
the cord around the adapter body.
• Do not use near water.
• Do not use in the presence of concentrated oxygen or pressurised
gases.
• Unplug and store out of reach of children when not in use.

Cleaning & Care
Note: These guidelines are for use with a healthy, full-term baby and assume that
you have access to potable water. If your baby is premature or has health
challenges your care provider may supply alternative advice. If you live in an area
without potable water, you should always sterilise parts before use. Always follow
the advice of your care provider.
• Sterilise all parts (except the pump motor and tubing) before first use.
• You do not need to sterilise parts used with breastmilk after every
use. Thorough washing with warm soapy water and air drying after
each use is sufficient. You may wish to sterilise on occasion to ensure
fat residue is removed.
• You do need to sterilise breast milk storage containers that will be
used to store and freeze breast milk, such as bottles, before first use.
Most milk storage bags come pre-sterilised; verify with the
manufacturer prior to use.
Washing Breast Pump Parts
1. Wash your hands with warm soapy water.
2. Disassemble all parts and wash in warm, soapy water and then rinse
thoroughly in hot water. The top rack of the dishwasher is fine for all
parts except the duck valve and backflow protector membrane (i.e.
the silicone parts). Do not place silicone parts including valves and
backflow protector diaphragms in the dishwasher. You may wish to
soak the parts in warm soapy water for several minutes prior to
washing, as well.
3. Use a bottle brush to ensure that there is no milk residue anywhere
in the parts. Try to be careful with the membranes and valves, as they
are the most fragile part of the kit.
4. Do not wash the valves or membranes in the dishwasher. Flush the
valve with hot soapy water and carefully remove any milk residue
with a bottle brush.
5. Place parts on a clean dish drying rack or clean paper towel to air dry
after washing. Do not use cloth to dry your breast pump parts as it
11
may harbour bacteria that can
contaminate breast milk. Try not to
touch the inside of any parts that
will come into contact with breast
milk.
6. Once dry, store parts in a clean,
closed container (i.e. snaplock bag
or clean plastic tub with a lid).
7. Never immerse your pump motor in
water. Wipe clean with a damp
cloth as needed.
8. Never wash or sterilise the tubing. When used correctly, the
backflow protector stops milk from entering the tubing. If milk should
somehow enter the tubing, we recommend replacing the tubing. If
tubing should become wet, make sure it is completely dry before
pumping as not to damage the motor.
9. The backflow protector does not need to be washed after each use.
If you notice moisture in the backflow protector, disassemble and
wash each of the three parts separately. Allow to air dry completely
before reassembly.
Cleaning & Care Tips
Valves that are difficult to remove from the shield to wash, or slip off the
shield during pumping, may need replacing, or may have a residue of fatty
milk build-up. This can be helped by cleaning the shield and valves
thoroughly, and washing them in a mix of 1 part vinegar 3 parts hot water to
release the fatty residue. (This can be the case with bottles coming loose
from shields too, and same solution).
