Safety Information and Guidance
All electrical installation and repair work should be carried out by a qualified electrician
accordance with current codes or regulations.
Isolate the power before installation.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! If casing is removed or handled improperly the internal
components of the unit may cause harm or become permanently damaged.
SAFETY FIRST: Always isolate the dryer from the power supply before removing the cover.
When installed according to these instructions the ecoDRY range of hand dryers are completely
safe. The materials used do not constitute a hazard. All ABS parts are made from flame retardant
materials.
Wiring should conform to the latest edition of the IET wiring regulations (BS7671 – 17th Edition) or
the appropriate standard in the country of installation. The ecoDRY 1100 requires a 220-240V
50/60Hz supply and an external 3A fuse. An isolator switch should also be installed in the MAINS
input line to facilitate maintenance and cleaning of the dryer.
Mechanical Installation
The ecoDRY hand dryer is designed for dry, internal location only and should be installed at a
minimum height of 120cm (from the ground to the air outlet/ bottom of the dryer) and be positioned
at least 60cm from a bathtub, shower, or hand basin. Where multiple dryers are being installed
alongside each other, allow enough space for people to access the dryer. If installing next to an
adjoining wall, the dryer should be positioned at least 200mm from this wall to allow for proper
access.
Fix the hand dryer to the wall with the fixing kit provided using the enclosed template to mark out
where the holes should be drilled. You should ensure that the electrical supply (tension) does not
exceed the maximum power of the apparatus (220 -240V). This product is intended for installation
by a suitably qualified person.

Front Cover Removal
Before installation can commence you need to remove the front cover by unscrewing the two
screws at the bottom of the cover (see Fig. 1). When the hand dryer is fixed to the wall, the cover
should be replaced, and the two screws tightened accordingly.
Mounting on the Wall
Fix the hand dryer to the wall with the fixing kit provided using the enclosed template to mark out
where the holes should be drilled. It is recommended that you use the raw plugs and screws
provided in the fixing kit. The hand dryer should always be positioned with the air outlet facing
downwards.
Wiring
For hard wiring into a wall in a washroom:
Operation
The hand dryer automatically starts up when it senses the hands approaching the air outlet
mechanism and stops when the hands move away. The unit has no heating element - air is heated
by the power of the motor which allows considerable energy savings compared to traditional hand
dryers. The first daily use of the product will therefore blow out seemingly cold air but from the
second drying cycle, the air temperature will warm up.
The device has a system that prevents vandalism – for instance if the sensors are covered to try
and force continuous operation, the hand dryer will only work for 35 seconds and then
automatically stop and go into standby. To resume normal functionality, the cover blocking the
sensors will have to be removed and normal functionality will resume in 3-4 seconds.

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 EPA 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 EPA filter paper.
By using this quality H13 EPA filter and with regular maintenance and replacement when required,
you can be assured of 97.66% 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 of the hand dryer.
Replacement of the filter
Remove the cover as described in the section on front cover removal (Figure 1). 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 2 – 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 1100 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 (brushes are not covered under the warranty of the hand dryer) 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.
The appliance is not intended for use by people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capability or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised by a responsible
person. Children must always be supervised by an adult when using this hand dryer.

WARNING: In the rare case of a thermal overload (over heating of the motor), a thermostat
with automatic reset protection will suspend the operation of the motor. The thermostat will
automatically reset the motor after 10 – 15 minutes when the specific motor temperature
drops below 100°C.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not use this product for a function different to which it is intended.
• Do not expose the appliance to the elements such as rain, sun etc.
• Do not make any changes to the device.
• Do not obstruct the air outlet point or air inlet grille.
• Do not insert any object into the air outlet or air inlet grille.
• In case of failure/ malfunction, disconnect from the power supply and contact your
installer.
Troubleshooting
1. If the dryer continuously blows cold air - the dryer will warm up after use as the heat is
generated from the operation of the motor. This is normal operation.
2. The dryer runs continuously – decrease the sensitivity of the activation sensor by turning
the white potentiometer on the board located inside the main body of the dryer (see Fig. 3)
anti clockwise with a pot adjuster/ small screwdriver. Adjust to suit the level of sensitivity
required.
3. The dryer does not operate – check all connections, if this fails, please contact your
installer.
