completed, the press is pivoted by grabbing the handle. To refill the Hydro Press 180L,
simply pivoted it back (Hydro Press 180L, not shown)
Tips:
Even more juice can be yielded if during the starting phase a little more time will be
allowed for the juice to drain. This will cause the flow path inside of the slurry to remain
open. It can be easily regulated by opening and closing the water tap.
Grind your fruit with the perfect mill, gaining a perfect fruit pulp (fine and not too coarse)
- Please also refer to our pome fruit mill item No.: 22200. A slurry that is too fine may
generate problems with the press and makes the drainage of the juice very difficult. At
the same time, a coarse grind may prevent an optimum juice yield. Grapes must be
removed from their stems and well crushed.

8 Cleaning, maintenance, storage
Please clean the press as soon as possible after each use in order to prevent the sweet
juices or fruit residue to dry inside the press. Simply use water and a brush/sponge or
cloth to clean the press. Never use a wire brush or other abrasive cleaning equipment. The
press cloth can also be cleaned thoroughly with water. The cloth may be laundered in the
washing machine, using laundry detergent and a low water temperature (max. 30°C). On
the Hydropress VA (stainless) avoid contact to materials with iron or even rusty metals
also like rusty water (danger of rust)
In order to ensure a long service life of the diaphragm, the press should be stored, if
possible, in a dark room sheltered from the environment and protected from sunlight.
Continuous exposure to sunlight (UV/ozone) causes synthetic rubber products to age
faster and become brittle.
