Installation

1. Disconnect the power source.
2. Using Table 2 to determine the recommended mounting height, select a mounting location for the hand dryer where no reflective surfaces or objects (such as a hand basin) are directly under the infra-red sensor eye. The infra-red sensor eye is visible from the bottom of the dryer and is located just inside the dryer’s nozzle area. The minimum mounting distance from bottom of the dryer to a reflective surface is 18 in (46 cm). When two or more dryers are installed, they should be spaced apart 24 in (61 cm)
3. Use the security hex key supplied to turn the cover mounting screws clockwise to remove the cover from the dryer.
4. Place the hand dryer base on the wall at selected location and using the base as a template, mark locations for the 4 mounting bolt holes on the wall.
5. Fasten the base to the wall, using the type of bolts recommended in Table 3
6. Each dryer must have is own dedicated circuit.
7. Connect the dryer to the nearest suitable distribution panel.
8. Replace cover, turn screws counter-clockwise making certain not to over-tighten.

IMPORTANT: Consult local and general regulations before performing dryer installation. Ensure the electrical network is not overloaded. Always connect to a dedicated branch circuit with circuit breaker or fuse protection and an electrical rating greater than the model hand dryer’s rated amperage shown in Table 1 – Electrical Specifications in accordance with the NEC (National Electrical Code) and/or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code).

Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT: The dryer has an air filter to prevent lint and debris build up that can damage the motor and heating element. Routine replacement or cleaning of the air filter is needed to maintain the dryer in good operating condition. With light to moderate wash room traffic, replacing or cleaning the air filter once a year is recommended. If the wash room traffic is high, the air filter should be replaced or cleaned every 6 months. Read complete instruction before proceeding.

To replace or clean the air filter:

1. Disconnect the power source.
2. Use the security hex key supplied to turn the cover mounting screws clockwise to remove the cover from the dryer.
3. Removing and replacing the air filter is easily done by gently stretching and lifting the air filter around the motor inlet cover.
4. To clean the air filter, remove from motor inlet cover. Use soft-medium bristle ½” paint brush to clean lint, dust and debris from the filter. If air filter cannot be completely cleared of debris, replace the filter.
5. After replacing the air filter onto the motor inlet cover, reassemble the dryer cover using the security hex key supplied to turn the cover mounting screws counter-clockwise and tight until snug. Do not over tighten.
