Safety instructions
The machine must not be used by children.
Do not leave children alone or unattended near the machine.
The machine must not be sprayed with water.
Mechanical and electrical installation and service are only to be
carried out by authorised personnel.
The machine's lid lock must not be by-passed under any
circumstances.
The machine is not to be connected to a central timer which
disconnects the mains supply at a certain time. The cover
cannot be opened if the current is disconnected while an
extraction cycle is in progress. This means that there is a risk of
the lid being opened by force.
If there is a fault in the extractor e.g. when the yellow lamp at the
STOP button is flashing, report the matter to the technician as
soon as possible. This is important for your own saftey as well
as the safety of others.

General
The hydro-extractor is an invaluable
complement to a washing machine and other
drying equipment:
It complements the washing machine by very
efficient dewatering of the laundry after the
wash programme is completed.
It complements the tumble dryer or drying
cabinet by considerably reducing the drying
time. Drying of clothes is energy-intensive and
an efficient hydro-extractor can save
considerable amounts of energy every year.
Safety
The safety is controlled by two independently
working rotation guards in the motor.
The lid has a mechanical lock. Types 38 and
58 litres also feature an electronic monitoring
device to keep the hydro-extractor from
starting if the lid is not closed.
If the power is disconnected, the lid will remain
closed on all types of hydro-extractor.

Warning
The hydro-extractor must not be
used by children.
Do not leave children alone or
unattended near of the hydro-
extractor.
If you detect a fault on the hydro-
extractor, report it without delay to
the technician responsible. This is
important for your own safety as well
as the safety of others.

Procedure for use
Preparation
Place the load in an even layer all around the
drum
Place long articles in a zig-zag fashion so that
they are not stretched unnecessarily while being
extracted.
Place heavy items at the bottom and light items
at the top.
Check that items do not hang over the edge of
the extractors drum.
Finish by placing a towel or similar at the top. Be
sure to keep the towel within the edge of the
drum.
Starting up
Turn the cover onto the extractor and press it
down.
For extractor with coin box: Insert coins in the
coin box; the START button will then begin
flashing.
Start the extractor by pressing the START button.
The programmed extraction time is 5 min. The lid
is locked during the extraction time. If shorter
extraction time is required - press the STOP
button.
Unevenly loaded drum
If the drum is unevenly loaded there will be too
much imbalance during extraction The extractor
will stop automatically after a few seconds and
the green lamp at the button will flash. Open the
lid by pressing the -button.
Distribute the load evenly in the drum and restart.
Completion
When the extraction time is over, the extractor
stops automatically. Open the lid by pressing the
- button. Turn the lid to the left and take out
the laundry.
Leave the extractor in the condition you want to
find it.

Maintenance
The below-mentioned intervals for maintenance
apply in situations of normal use, e.g. a tenancy
estate laundry.
If the machine is used professionally, e.g. in a
laundrette, this interval should be halved.
Every 14 days
It is important to carry out regular checks of the
hydro extractor's function, particularly for
personal safty reasons.
Check the following:
• that the cover cannot be opened while the
extraction cycle is in progress,
• that the STOP button is working,
• that the switch and electrical cabel to the
machine are undamaged.
If the extractor has a fault e.g. when the
yellow lamp at the STOP button is
flashing, this must be reported as soon as
possible to the person in charge. This is
important for your own safety and for the
safety of others.
CAUTION
The extractor must not be sprayed with
water. If the machine is dirty, wipe it with a
moist cloth.

Installation of hydro-extractor:
With freely suspended basket
Unpacking
The hydro-extractor is protected against transport
damage and bolted to a pallet before delivery.
The transport protection consists of a wooden
plug fitted between the pallet and the
counterweight of the motor. Through the pallet
and the wooden plug, a bolt has been entered to
reach into the counterweight. When the hydro-
extractor is loosened from the pallet, the pallet
bolts are loosened through the service door of
the hydro-extractor and the transport protection
bolt must be loosened from the bottom of the
pallet.
Never lift the hydro-extractor drum!
With rigidly suspended basket
Unpacking
The hydro-extractor comes bolted to a transport
pallet and the bolts in the pallet must be
loosened through the service door of the hydro-
extractor.
Never lift the hydro-extractor drum!
Open the lid
All types
Drain hose is placed in the drum. The lid can be
opened as follows:
• Remove the cover of the control unit on the
rear of the hydro-extractor.
• Press the bar of the coil upwards.

Positioning
The extractor is to be placed as close to a floor
drain or gutter as possible.
The distance to the wall or other equipment must
be at least 250 mm. The distance on the left side
must be at least 250 mm.
To facilitate servicing, it is recommended to
leave a space of min. one metre behind the
machine.
DrainFit the rubber hose. Dimension of the drain pipe:
hose Ø76 mm.
Mount the hose so that there is an unrestricted
slope towards the floor gutter.
Leave at least 25 mm air space between the
drain hose and the floor grate or the gutter. 2

Quality requirements concerning the base
The base must be very stable in order to absorb
the dynamic forces transferred in the spinning
process.
Normally, the hydro-extractor can be attached by
means of expansion bolts (size M12) directly into
a concrete floor of good quality and adequate
thickness - see bolt height Bin the table below;
or the enclosed foundation bolts can be cast into
the floor, see procedure next page.
Concreting of foundation for all types of
hydro-extractor
If there is uncertainty as to the quality of the
floor, or if the working height of the hydro-
extractor is too low, it could be a good idea to
build up a concrete foundation. This foundation
should have a height of approx. 100 mm and its
minimum dimensions should be as stated in the
table.
