1. GENERAL SAFETY
OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES
Prior to device usage initiation, refer to the
following manual and act according the
guidelines contained therein. The manufacturer
shall not be held accountable for any damages
caused by improper usage of the device or its
improper handling
.
1.1. Operational principles
1. The honey extractor is intended to centrifuge
the honey from the frames.
2. The honey extractor must be washed
thoroughly prior to usage with water containing
slight amount of agents admissible to be used in
cleaning the devices coming into contact with food
or by means of a pressure washer.
1.2. Electrical safety
1. Power supply electric installation must be
equipped with RCD with nominal tripping
current In below 30 mA. Functioning of
overcurrent circuit breaker must be checked
periodically .
2. If non-detachable power supply cable gets
damaged and must be replaced, it must be
performed at a guarantor’s or by a
specialised repair centre or by a qualified
person in order to avoid any threat. Do not
operate the honey extractor when the power
supply cable is damaged.
3. Prior to plugging in the device to the mains,
check whether controller is switched off. 0/1
switch on the controlling panel should be in
“0” position.
4. Check the honey extractor and the power
source for nominal voltage compliance.
5. Be careful while connecting the device to the
mains.
Hands must be dry!
The floor on which the extractor has been
placed must be dry!
6. The honey extractor lid must be closed during
spinning!. It is forbidden to open the lid during
spinning.
7. While spinning, the honey extractor must not be
displaced.
8. In case of the honey extractor with electric
controlling, the engine and the controller must be
protected against damping; ( also during the
storage).
9. It is forbidden to pull the supply cable. The
supply cable must be kept away from heat
sources, sharp edges and its good technical state
must be taken care of.
1.3. Operational safety
1. The following equipment is not intended to be
used by persons with limited physical, sensory or
mental capabilities (including children) or persons
inexperienced or unfamiliar with that type of
equipment unless the usage occurs under
supervision or in line with the equipment operating
manual provided by safety supervising persons.
One must make sure that children do not play with
the honey extractor.
2. In case of any damage to the honey
extractor, in order to avoid the danger, the repairs
may be performed solely by a specialist servicing
centre or a qualified person.
3. It is forbidden to perform any
maintenance works or repairs when the device is
in operation.
4. All shields must be permanently attached to
the honey extractor while operating it.
5. The device cannot be activated and stored
with the ambient temperature below 0º C.
Honey extractor cannot be activated when the
ambient temperature drops below 5º C. When the
honey extractor has been moved from a room with
a lower temperature to a room with a higher
temperature, prior to its activation one must wait
until the device has achieved the ambient
temperature.
It is forbidden to make any repairs while the
device is under operation
It is forbidden to remove any shields while the
device is under operation

.2.HONEY EXTRACTOR MANUAL
2.1 General principles for preparing
the honey extractor for operation
1. Place the honey extractor in the place
specified for the purpose and kept in order
and cleanliness.
2. Fix the honey extractor to the ground in order
to avoid its displacement during spinning.
2.2. Operating principles
1.Honey extractor is intended to centrifuge the
honey from the frames.
2. Prior to first extraction and after the honey
harvesting, the honey extractor must be washed
thoroughly in line with the guidelines contained in
the chapter Honey extractor maintenance.
3. Previously prepared frames must be placed
inside the basket, with special attention paid to
their arrangement. Erroneous frame arrangement
may bring about the damages which are not
subject to guarantee terms!
4. Prior to the honey extractor activation, one
must:
Put the plug into the socket, switch the
controlling activation button on the controlling
cabinet from “0” to “1” position.
5. The first phase of extraction shall be performed
slowly in order to prevent the honeycombs from
breaking out. Special attention must be paid to the
so called “young frames”.
6. Rotations are regulated by a potentiometer.
NOTE!!! Frames may be rearranged only when
the honey extractor basket has come to a
complete hold!
9. Once the basket has stopped, reverse the
frames by 180 degrees and centrifuge the other
side of the honeycomb. The frames are to be
centrifuged in two stages, first with lower rotations
on both sides of the honeycomb. Subsequently,
with higher rotations of the basket on both sides of
the honeycomb again.
10. The spinning basket should not be blocked by
the honey accumulating inside the drum. If that is
the case, the honey extractor must be stopped in
order to avoid any damage. Once the honey has
drained to the containers, spinning may be
restarted.
11. A container intended for the honey shall be
placed under the drain valve.
While spinning the drain valve should be opened
in order for the honey to flow freely.
3. Characteristics for the honey
extractors –Minima series.
Diagonal, 3-4-honeycomb honey extractor can be
used in small apiaries as well as by the apiarists
treating beekeeping as a hobby. Its distinguishing
features include compact dimensions and easy
handling. Designing solutions applied make it
possible to centrifuge even the densest honey .
The conical shape of the extractor’s bottom allows
for the honey do drain freely. Honey extractors are
packed in carton boxes, for self-assembling.

plug must be taken out!
After honey harvesting time honey extractor shall
be washed thoroughly with hot water containing
slight quantities of agents accepted to be used in
devices intended to come into contact with food or
by means of a pressure washer. Be careful during
the washing and prevent dumping the honey
extractor engine or controller ( they may be
covered with water-resistant materials)
After washing, the honey extractor must be rinsed
with pure water and dried. Before every season
additional technical inspection must be performed
and in case any faults are detected a service point
must be contacted.
