13. Troubleshooting Guide
Lack of suction |
| Check that all the pump components have been |
|
| assembled correctly and that the valve is the right way |
|
| up. Ensure that the diaphragm and |
|
| cushion are fitted securely to the pump body and |
|
| a perfect seal is created. |
|
|
|
No milk being expressed |
| Ensure suction is created and the pump is |
|
| correctly assembled. |
|
| Relax and try again, expression may improve |
|
| after practice. Please refer to the ‘Hints to help you |
|
| succeed’ section. |
|
|
|
Pain when expressing |
| You may be pumping too hard. You do not need to use |
|
| all the suction the pump can generate. |
|
| Try depressing the handle halfway and remember the |
|
| |
|
| professional/breastfeeding adviser. |
|
|
|
Milk is drawn up the petal |
| Try removing and refitting the petal massager to ensure |
massage cushion |
| it is firmly attached and pushed far enough down the |
|
| funnel. Try leaning slightly forward. |
|
|
|
Cracking/discolouration of |
| Avoid contact with antibacterial detergents/cleaners |
pump parts |
| as these can damage the plastic. Combinations of |
|
| detergents, cleaning products, sterilising solution, |
|
| softened water and temperature fluctuations may, under |
|
| certain circumstances, cause the plastic to crack. If this |
|
| occurs, do not use. Contact AVENT Customer Services for |
|
| spare parts. The pump is dishwasher safe but food |
|
| colourings may discolour components. |
