Gamco warm air hand dryer is a surface-mounted ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliant dryer powered by a
universal brush motor, and delivers up to 1000 watts of drying power. The dryer incorporates an integrated heating
element with options for operation with, or without, heated air. An infrared sensor is used to automatically activate the
dryer. These models are intended for use in commercial, industrial, office and public facility environments.

• Always disconnect the power source before servicing or installing the hand dryer.

• Installation and servicing should only be performed by qualified electrical technicians.
• Use only the electrical power (voltage and frequency) specified for the model hand dryer being installed. See Table 1 - Electrical

Specifications.

• Connect the hand dryer to the nearest suitable distribution panel. The fixed wiring must include a disconnection means complying with

local wiring codes.

• To limit a voltage drop, and insure efficient operation, use No.12 AWG wire or larger as required by local electrical codes.
• Always connect to a branch circuit with circuit breaker or fuse protection with 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).

• To avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, the hand dryer must not be supplied through an external

switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

• Each automatic model hand dryer must have a dedicated circuit.
• Route all field wiring away from moving parts within the hand dryer.
• The NEC (National Electrical Code) and/or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) require installation fittings with smooth, rounded surfaces

for protection of power supply cables.

• Follow the mounting height recommendations in Table 2.
• On a stud wall, one side of the hand dryer should be mounted to an existing stud.

1. Remove all packing material. Recycling is recommended.

2. Carefully remove the hand dryer from the shipping carton, using care not to drop the appliance.

3. Inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Check for any loose, missing or damaged
parts. If the hand dryer is damaged, promptly inform the dealer where you purchased it.

Failure to disconnect the power source before installation or servicing

can result in serious injury or death from electric shock.

Failure to properly ground this unit could result in severe electrical

shock and/or death.

• This hand dryer must be properly grounded for safe operation. An identified ground connection point is supplied on the

hand dryer’s wall base.

• We recommend GFCI protection in wet or damp locations or as required by local code.

Risk of fire, personal injury or property damage are possible if local

codes, or safety recommendations are not followed.

Improper mounting could result in personal injury or property damage.
