5. Maintenance
Warning
–
before commencing any maintenance on this product, please isolate the
appliance from the power supply.
Clean the hand dryer using a soft cloth dampened with water and detergent. To ensure the correct
functioning of the product, periodically check that the inlet grille and air outlet mechanism are clear
of dust and debris.
The
HEPA filter
which is located inside the unit ensures air is kept free from dust and dirt. The filter
should be cleaned every 6 months or so by using a jet of compressed air/ vacuum cleaner (from a
distance of 20cm). Do not immerse/ clean with water as these filters are made from HEPA filter
paper. By using this quality H13 HEPA filter and with regular maintenance and replacement when
required, you can be assured of 99.99% bacteria free air from the dryer. The filter should be
replaced after 1,000 hours of use in conjunction with the carbon brushes (see next section).
Filters
are not covered under the warranty.
Replacement of the filter
Remove the cover as described in the section on front cover removal (Figure 2).
Remember to
isolate from the power supply before commencing the cleaning or replacement of the filter
.
The filter simply slides out as shown in Figure 4
– clean/ replace depending on the requirement.
The plastic parts inside the hand dryer are treated with
Agion Silver Antimicrobial
which reduces
bacterial build on the dryer surfaces by 99.9%. The above measures give the ecodry 550 Hand
Dryers double antibacterial protection levels making it an ultra-hygienic drying system.
The
Carbon Brushes
on the drive unit of the motor have a life span of 1,000 hours. The duration
varies depending on the conditions of use, whether the filters have been cleaned on a regular basis
and general maintenance of the appliance. Please contact your installer for replacement of these
carbon brushes
–
these brushes are not covered by our warranty
and should be ordered from
Airflow as a consumable part. It is a simple replacement procedure as the carbon brushes are
supplied in twin cartridges which fit onto each side of the drive unit. Indication that the brushes are
worn and need replacing will be the hand dryer starts to work intermittently or even fails to start.
