inside the uppercase and lowercase (the clear plastic pieces). One part of
the backflow protector connects to the breast shield, and the smaller part
connects to the tubing.
Step 2
Connect one end of the tubing to the pump, and the other end to the
backflow protector. If you are double pumping, you’ll need to connect two
pieces of tubing. If you are single pumping, you will only connect one piece
of tubing and will cover the other port with the cap provided.
Step 3
Now you can assemble the breast shields, duckbill valves, and bottles. To
connect the duckbill valve to the breast shield, you’ll simply twist the valve
onto the opening of the breast shield; then you will twist the bottle onto the
breast shield over the duckbill valve.
Step 4
Finally, connect the breast shields to the backflow protectors for a snug fit.
Get comfortable, plug the power cord into the wall (unless you are using the
battery-powered S1), and center your nipples in the breast shields. Turn on
your pump to get started.
The best way to use a Spectra pump: Spectra S1 and Spectra S2 settings
Spectra pumps come with a number of settings to make pumping
comfortable and easy for moms. If you’re pumping at night, make sure to
turn on the handy night light located on the right of the panel beside the
vacuum level control. Press the button more than once to find your ideal
brightness.
Letdown Mode
It’s important to note that when you turn on your Spectra pump, it does not
start in letdown mode. When you turn on the pump, press the center
button with the three wavy lines to turn on letdown mode in order to get
your milk flowing. Start at level 1 suction and slowly increase (stop when –
or just before – you are no longer comfortable).
