General
The extractors described in this manual, with drum volumes 38, 58 and 88 litres,
are an invaluable complement to the washing machine and other drying equipment.
Through their efficient extraction of the water from the load after a wash program,
the drying time can be considerably reduced. Drying wash in a drying cabinet or
tumble dryer is energy-intensive and an efficient extractor can save a great deal of
energy every year.
The machines are available in two types:
• Flexibly-mounted type (38 and 58 litre drum volumes). The drum is mounted
flexibly in relation to the frame. As a result, a minimum of vibration is transferred
to the frame, and this in turn makes installation easier. These extractors can
generally be installed using expanding bolts (size M12) directly on a cast
concrete floor of good quality and sufficient thickness.
• R-model (38,58 and 88 litre drum volumes). The drum is relatively rigidly
mounted in the frame. The floor must be very stable to take up the dynamic
forces from extraction. The mounting bolts must be cast inti the floor.
The extractor is controlled by means of three buttons on a control panel. The
buttons have the following functions:
Start Starts the extractor. It will run for 5 minutes (factory settings) and then switch
off automatically.
Stop Is used to stop extraction before the set time has elapsed.
Opens the lid when the drum has stopped after the set time has
elapsed, if extraction has been interrupted using the stop button,
if the extractor has stopped because of load imbalance, or if it has
been energised with the lid closed.

Safety rules
• The machine must not be operated be children.
• Do not leave children alone or unsupervised in the vicinity of the extractor.
• The machine must not be hosed down with water.
• Installation and servicing are to be performed be authorised personnel only.
• The machine´s lid lock must not be bypassed under any circumstances.
• The extractor must not be connected to a central time-switch which cuts the
power supply to it at a certain time each day. If the power supply is cut
during an extraction cycle the lid cannot be opened. This means that there is
a risk of the lid being forced open.
• If a fault arises, e.g. when the yellow light by the STOP button flashed on
and off, this should be reported to the technician responsible for the machine
as soon as possible. This is important for your own safety and that of other
people.

The machine are available in two types:
• Flexibly-mounted, which means that the drum unit (motor and drum) are suspended
in the frame by rubber straps. Beneath the motor is a counterweight which
counterbalances the drum when it is rotation.
• R- model, in which the drum unit is relatively mounted in the frame on rubber
bushings.
An out of balance switch stops the motor if the load is not distributed properly in the drum.
The machine lid is on a slewing arm, which is swung across the drum opening and then
pressed down towards the drum. A microswitch in the control unit and also a Reed element in
the C240/C240R and C260/C260R models check that the lid is closed before the machine will
start.
Two rotation guards, a microswitch and the Reed element lock the lid so that it cannot be
opened until the drum had stopped. If the power supply is interrupted, e.g. by a power cut, it
will not be possible to open the lid until the power supply is restored.
The machine is controlled by means of three buttons on a control panel located to one side of
the lid.
The circuit board for automatic functions, lid lock, relays, transformer etc. are located in the
control unit. Access is easy once the cover is removed.
