Appliance description

In order to dry your hands most efficiently, please use the following procedure:

• Shake off excess water over the wash basin
• Place hands underneath the unit at a distance of 4˝ – 7˝
• Rub your hands together as if you were washing them

Your hands will be dry within 25 – 35 seconds.
The Stiebel Eltron Galaxy™ series hand dryers are equipped with an infrared sensor switch. This sensor will activate the unit when hands are placed underneath it. Approximately 7 seconds after the hands have been removed, the unit will automatically shut off.

The sensor is the black rectangle located underneath the unit between the air exit and air inlet grills. The sensor switch will not work properly if it has been covered by gum or dirt. If the sensor is obstructed, the hand dryer will switch off automatically to prevent it from running continuously. Should the unit overheat, a safety high-limit switch will turn off the heating element. The safety high-limit switch resets automatically once the heating element cools down.

Cleaning, care, and maintenance

MATERIAL LOSSES:
The Galaxy™ hand dryer does not contain any parts serviceable by non-licensed people. In case of malfunction please contact a licensed electrician.

To clean the case use a soft cloth with a mild detergent if necessary. Never use any abrasive cleaners since they will scratch the finish of the unit. Never spray water or clean fluids directly on the hand dryer. While cleaning the unit, make sure the electric eye switch is not covered.

INSTALLATION

DANGER: Electrocution
Before beginning any work on the electric installation, be sure the main breaker panel switch is “off” to avoid any danger of electric shock.

NOTE:
The circuit should be equipped with a “ground fault interrupter” where required by local, state or national electrical codes. All electrical work must comply with national and applicable state and local electrical codes.

Only a qualified technician should carry out installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair of the appliance.

General safety instructions
We guarantee trouble-free function and operational reliability only if original accessories and spare parts intended for the appliance are used and if the installation is performed as described in this manual.

Minimum clearances

DANGER: Electrocution
Do not install unit where it can accidentally be splashed with water. Observe all minimum clearance requirements. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.

Do not install the hand dryer in danger zones 0, 1, or 2. Doing so may allow the unit to be splashed with water which could result in serious personal injury or death.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES

1. Danger zone: do not install unit in bathtubs showers, or wash basins.
2. Danger zone: do not install directly above bathtubs or showers.
3. Danger zone: do not install within 24˝ (600 mm) of bathtubs or showers
4. Safe area: unit must be installed in this area, outside of danger zones 2, 1 and 0.

• Before mounting the unit to the wall, ensure all minimum distances are met for safety and performance considerations.
• The unit must be installed at least 4˝ (102 mm) from perpendicular walls.
• The unit must be installed at least 12˝ (305 mm) above countertops to avoid splashing the unit.
• Ensure the air outlet is not obstructed

PREPARATION

Mount the hand dryer at least 48˝ (1219 mm) above the floor.

Preparation
The Galaxy™ hand dryer must have its own independent circuit using 3 wire cable of the appropriate size protected by a correctly rated double-pole circuit breaker. The Galaxy™ 1 unit for 110 – 120 V requires a 20 A circuit breaker and AWG 12 copper wire. The Galaxy™ 2 unit for 220 – 240V or 208 V requires a 15 A circuit breaker and AWG 12 copper wire.

• Transfer the four mounting points to the wall and trace the electrical wiring entry point using the enclosed drilling template.
• Feed the electrical wiring through the entry point traced with the template.
• Remove the two screws at the air outlet grill and the screw on the locking slide.

WALL MOUNTING

• Pull down the locking slide and remove the front cover.
• Cut a hole in the back housing and install a ½˝ strain relief connector for the electric cable. Tighten the strain connector onto the cable.

Wall mounting

• Drill the mounting holes in the wall. Use anchors for securing into drywall or tile. Anchoring to studs is preferred, but not required.
• Secure the unit into the pre-drilled holes.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

• Connect the wires to the terminal block connections.

1. Fan motor
2. Heating element
3. Sensor
   • Reinstall the front cover. Push up the locking slide and reinstall the three screws that were removed.
