Assembly& Operation
1. Please use the included screws to attach the legs to the base.
2. Place the hydropress on a stable surface. If possible, close to water connection.
3. Place a bucket underneath the drain.
4. Turn both taps off-the inlet tap and the drain tap on the underside of the
hydropress.
5. Attach the inlet hose to the water supply tap on the underside of the hydropress.
6. Remove the lid and insert the juice bag folding the access over the basket and
leaving a little folded on the bottom of the press. This will help pulling the fruit
pulp out of the press later.
7. Fill the hydropress with fruit pulp like grapes or crushed apples to the top. It is not
necessary to fill the bag completely; pressing is much easier to complete with less
fruit pulp.
8. Fold in the juice bag to cover the fruit pulp, do not cover the basket.
9. Fit the lid and screw the nut (by hand only), do not use too much force.
10. Turn on the water and open the inlet tap on the hydropress.
11. When water spirts out of the bleed valve, close the bleed valve and continue to fill.
12. In a short time, you will see juice coming out of the slots on the side of the press,
starting at the bottom and moving upwards.
13. Continue to fill the basket and watch the pressure gauge, set the gauge to obtain
the level of pressing you want.
Note: Do not exceed 3 bars.
14. If juice is spraying outside of the slotted basket, cover with plastic bag.
15. Catch the juice in a bucket and pump into your vat or barrel.
16. Once pressing is finished, turn off the inlet tap on the press and disconnect the
hose.
17. Open the bleed valve on the top of the screw, thread to release the pressure and
slowly open the drain tap at the bottom of the hydropress.
18. Remove the drain hose ensuring there is no pressure in the system.
19. Remove the lid.
20. Tilt the basket and pull out the fruit pulp with juice bag in one movement.
21. Wash the press, juice bag and plastic bag. (only use water on the basket)
Cleaning & Maintenance
Before use, all components must be scrupulously cleaned and rinsed thoroughly with
water. Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. This press cloth shall also be
cleaned thoroughly with water.
Please clean the hydropress after each use in order to prevent the juices or fruit
residue to dry inside the press. Simply use water and a sponge or cloth to clean the

press. Never use a wire brush or other abrasive cleaning agent. The press juice bag
and plastic bag can also be cleaned thoroughly with water.
For long term usage of rubber diaphragm, the hydropress should be stored in a clean
environment and protected from sunlight. Continuous exposure to sunlight causes
synthetic rubber diaphragm to age faster and become brittle.
