WARNING:

GENERAL OPERATION
This dryer is activated by an infrared sensor. The dryer operates as long as hands are below
nozzle. There is a maximum 35 second running time with a safety over-ride feature, if hands are
not removed. Each component used in your dryer has been designed to provide years of trouble-
free service. However, if trouble should develop, it can normally be located by visual examination.
Removal or replacement of most parts is simple and can be done without special tools.
