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
trafc, cleaning once a year is recommended. If wash room trafc 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 lters)
Your specic model may include a high efciency particulate absorbtion
(HEPA) lter to remove a minimum of 99.97% of contaminants at 0.3
microns in size or larger.
The service life of a HEPA lter depends on the environment in which the
dryer is installed and frequency of use. High trafc washrooms or high
usage will require more frequent inspection and replacement of the HEPA
lter. The HEPA lter should be inspected at least four times per year in
washrooms with light to moderate trafc and normal environments. In
environments with excessive, dust and debris or in washrooms with high
trafc, inspection of the HEPA lter is recommended on a monthly basis.
When visual inspection of the HEPA lter shows excessive buildup of lint,
dust and debris, the lter should be replaced.
Examining and changing a HEPA lter regularly keeps hand dryers
working efciently. Operating a hand dryer with an excessively dirty or
clogged lter can damage your machine.
The HEPA lter cannot be cleaned and re-used. Do not clean the HEPA
lter or allow it to come into contact with water.
To inspect or replace the HEPA lter:
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 lter is easily done by sliding the
lter in its mounting track on the motor cap.
4. After replacing the HEPA lter, 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.

Coarse Particulate Filter
(for models not including HEPA lters)
The dryer has a coarse particulate air lter to prevent lint and debris build up that can damage the
motor and heating element. Routine replacement or cleaning of the air lter is needed to maintain
the dryer in good operating condition. With light to moderate wash room trafc, replacing or
cleaning the air lter once a year is recommended. If the wash room trafc is high, the air lter
should be replaced or cleaned every 6 months. Read complete instruction before proceeding.
To replace or clean the coarse particulate air lter:
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 air lter is easily done by gently pulling the lter away from the lter housing.
4. To clean the coarse particulate air lter, remove from lter from the lter housing. Use soft-medium bristle ½” paint
brush to clean lint, dust and debris from the lter. If air lter cannot be completely cleared of debris, replace the lter.
5. After replacing the air lter into the lter housing, 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.
