Hailo HFO Electrically Assisted Opening System
Introduction:
The Hailo HFO Electrically Assisted Opening System allows
for quick and easy opening of pull-out unit fronts and
drawers in low-level kitchen units.
Self-opening drawers make it easier for you to dispose
of your waste in existing waste separation systems in a
pleasant way.
The compact design fi ts directly into the base of the unit
and allows the drawer to function fl awlessly without
interfering with the sink trap.
It is essential to read the safety
instructions and instructions for
assembly before using the
drawer system.
Application:
low-level units with a pull-out
drawer unit (bottom drawer)
unit front system

Important: Metal in this area will lead
to malfunctions! The HFO is not designed
for this.
Safety instructions
The Hailo HFO Electrically Assisted Opening System meets
generally recognised engineering standards and the
5
2006/95/EC electrical equipment safety directive.
The device is to be connected to an AC power supply only
(for the voltage see the type plate on the underside of
the device).
Ensure that the drawer system is used solely as specifi ed.
Failure to comply with these instructions for assembly
and use (and in particular with the safety instructions)
as well as any improper use or improper repairs may
present a serious risk to the user. No liability will be
accepted for any damage thus caused and the warranty
will be invalidated.
Likewise, we accept no liability for consequential losses
arising from this.
The mains lead must be laid in such a way that it is pro-
tected from sharp edges and does not come into contact
with moving parts. Do not touch the lead or the device
with wet or damp hands.
If the lead on the device is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's customer
service department or similarly qualifi ed personnel to
avoid any risk.
Never open or take the device apart yourself.
Important: Risk of death due to electric shock.
Do not allow the device to come into contact with water.
Any ingress of moisture and/or aggressive cleaning
agents may damage the device.
Repairs are to be undertaken by authorised
personnel only.
Always unplug the lead from the socket before repairs
are undertaken.
The device is to be rendered unusable prior to disposal
(e.g. by cutting off the lead or the plug).

Preparing for installation
1. Using a saw, cut out a recess in the base of the unit
where the opening system is to be fi tted.
(You might also have to make a recess in the
plinth – see diagram [Y] ).
2. Insert the opening system into the base of the unit.
3. Thread the plug and lead under the base of the unit and
plug into the socket.
4. Offer up the waste separation system/drawer front to
check that the opening system functions correctly with it
in position (See Fig. C – Function description below).
Fig. B
Function description
The opening system is triggered by a sensor in the
ejector system.
1. As soon as power is supplied to the device, the sensor
projects a point of light onto the fl oor.
This point of light will help you to identify the fi tting
position for the sensor.
2. To open the unit front/drawer, place your foot directly
under the sensor.

Adjustment and fi tting
1. There is a rotary knob on the base of the opening system
housing which is used to adjust the force with which the
drawer is ejected – the fi ve adjustment positions lock audibly
into place.
The ejection force is pre-set at maximum.
Important: Always unplug the device from the mains
power supply before altering the ejection force.
= Increases ejection force
= Decreases ejection force
2. Screw the drawer system tightly into the base of the unit.
3. Fit the waste separation system/front of unit and the plinth.
Please note: The opening system is to be used solely for the
purpose for which it is intended and should not be used more
than 6 times per minute. If the device is used more often
than this, it may lead to overheating and therefore to a brief
loss of function.
