Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: The dryer may collect lint and debris that is naturally present in the air. Excessive build
up of lint and debris can damage the motor and heating element. The dryer should be cleaned on a
routine schedule to maintain the dryer in good operating condition With light to moderate wash room
traffic, cleaning once a year is recommended. If wash room traffic is high, cleaning every 6 months is
recommended.
To clean the hand dryer:
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. Use a soft-medium bristle paint brush to clean lint, dust and debris from the air intake slots, and the motor’s exterior.
4. After cleaning, 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.
HEPA Filter Replacement
(for models including HEPA filters)
Your specific model may include a high efficiency particulate absorbtion
(HEPA) filter to remove a minimum of 99.97% of contaminants at 0.3
microns in size or larger.
The service life of a HEPA filter depends on the environment in which the
dryer is installed and frequency of use. High traffic washrooms or high
usage will require more frequent inspection and replacement of the HEPA
filter. The HEPA filter should be inspected at least four times per year in
washrooms with light to moderate traffic and normal environments. In
environments with excessive, dust and debris or in washrooms with high
traffic, inspection of the HEPA filter is recommended on a monthly basis.
When visual inspection of the HEPA filter shows excessive buildup of lint,
dust and debris, the filter should be replaced.
Examining and changing a HEPA filter regularly keeps hand dryers
working efficiently. Operating a hand dryer with an excessively dirty or
clogged filter can damage your machine.
The HEPA filter cannot be cleaned and re-used. Do not clean the HEPA
filter or allow it to come into contact with water.
To inspect or replace the HEPA 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 HEPA filter is easily done by sliding the
filter in its mounting track on the motor cap.
4. After replacing the HEPA filter, 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.
5. Reconnect the power source.
