Yes, you can use the pump while charging the breast pump.
To maintain suction efficiency, please do change the silicone valves every 3 months or when damaged.

Our pumps have a Li-ION battery. It is recommended to put your breast pump in your carry-on baggage. Please consult with your destination country and airline before travelling.

To do hands-free pumping, you can consider using a hands-free pumping bra. This will enable you to free both hands to attend to other things.
“That will depends on the UV steriliser being used. Please do check with your UV Steriliser’s manufacturer or distributor for more accurate instructions.
It is not necessary to wash the tubing unless it comes in contact with your breastmilk, or if dirt, condensation or residue is present. Do not use the pump with wet tubing. If the tubing becomes wet, make sure it is completely dry before pumping so that it does not damage the breast pump motor.
It is recommended to thoroughly wash all pump parts with a baby bottle cleanser and warm water, and rinse in warm water after every pump session. Placing the pump parts in the fridge without washing makes it more susceptible to bacteria commonly found in the fridge, and may cause contamination.
Pumping from both breasts simultaneously is more effective at stimulating prolactin levels and increasing milk production. It is also more time-efficient when compared to single pumping.


Breast Pumps (Troubleshooting)​

This feature is only available on TailorMade Pro. To select Individual Breast Customisation programme, press both Left and Right buttons together at the same time.

This feature is only available on TailorMade Pro. Restart the pump by switching off and on again to use the Synchronised Breast Programme when needed.

Our breast pumps have a Memory Function that remembers your last settings used. The Memory Function does not apply when for the Individual Breast Customised Programme.

Your battery may require recharging.
You may wish to check if the tubings are bent, and if all parts have been correctly assembled. Check parts for wear and tear.
The breast pump’s control panel automatically locks after the pump is untouched for one minute. This prevents accidental disruption to your pumping session. To unlock the control panel, press the power button.
To save power, the pump switches off after 30 minutes of inactivity, or after one minute of inactivity after the breast pump is just switched on.
This could be due to a wrong breast shield sizing. You may wish to re-measure your nipples with the nipple ruler to check.
The vacuum strength may be too high – try lowering the vacuum strength.

Food Processors

The Mate has 5 functions (steamer, blender, reheating, defrosting, sterilising) while the Pro has 7 (additional milk warmer, porridge/rice/pasta cooker). That aside, what our customers tell us is they love the Mate for its fuss-free selections – it only has one button manual blend or steam. Those who use the Pro favour it for the convenience of a built-in timer, timing selections and multiple blend selections.

Add some water into the water tank, add your milk bottle into it, select the Milk Warmer function, and it will automatically warm your milk in 2 minutes.
Fill the water in the water tank till the max line. Add your Rice or Pasta into the 3-in-1 cooker, and place it into the blender cup with the cover screwed on. Select the Steam Function to cook. If it is not soft enough, you may wish to do another round of steaming.
No, you can’t. After Steaming, you can tip the steamed food into the blender cup for blending.

LoveCook Pro: There is Timer Function to set the duration of each programme. You may adjust the timings with the (+) or (-) signs.
LoveCook Mate: There is no Timer Function and you would need a separate timer/clock. The User Manual provides estimated cooking timings.

You may wish to descale your water wank if you see limescales on the base of the water tank. You can do so by adding the LoveAmme Descaling powder into the water tank, close the water tank cover and steam it for 5 mins.
There is no need to remove the blades if you had used only the steam function. If you had used the blend function, it is highly recommended to remove the blades for washing, as there may be some food trapped in between the blades.
To turn it on, pls press the Power button for 3 seconds. Check connection to power source.
This is a safety feature – the Cover may not be screwed on properly, or it is not properly placed in the Locked Position.
There may be insufficient water. Please check if the Insufficient sign (LoveCook Pro) or Knob sign (LoveCook Mate) is blinking, and the water level in the water tank. If this is the issue, adding water will enable you to continue with the programme.
Yes, there is a one year local warranty
The warranty only covers the electrical unit. Warranty is not inclusive of accessories and spare parts.
