Warranty: 1 Year.
A three-position switch (off, manual or automatic) allows use in either the manual or automatic mode. In the manual mode, the mother controls the length of the suction cycle with a thumb-operated shut-off valve. In the automatic mode, the duration of the suction cycle can be set with the timer control. The unit will intermittently apply vacuum for periods from two to thirty seconds, with a four-second pause between cycles.
The strength of the suction is regulated by adjusting the vacuum control. An in-line valve helps prevent accidental over-suction by cutting off the vacuum once it reaches a predetermined level.
An overflow bottle provides protection to the pump motor by acting as a backup trap should the primary bottle containing expressed milk overflow.
