READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Disconnect the power source previously brought to the hand
dryer location (see pre-installation wiring above).
2. Use the Tamper-Proof Wrench supplied and remove the
Tamper-Proof Bolt on bottom of cover lifting upwards to
remove cover from base plate.
3. If electrical wiring entry is to be made from the rear, remove
the appropriate pre-formed knockout on the base plate.
If entry is to be made from the side, knock out the preformed
area on the right side of cover for your supply connection
using knockout gasket provided. A rigid conduit must be
used. For models with metal covers, if the side entry for
conduit is required, this must be specied in advance and
the side entry can be pre-cut and proper grommet applied by
the manufacturer.
4. Select the appropriate mounting height for dryer (Table 1)
and fastener, as recommended (Table 2). There should
be no obstruction between the hand dryer and the oor.
If mounting over a countertop, distance from counter to dryer
must be 15” (381 mm) minimum.
CAUTION: Do not use Base Plate as a guide when drilling.
Make sure no pipe work (gas, water, air) or any electrical cables
or wires are located directly behind the area to be drilled.
5. Attach Base Plate at the four corners to smooth wall.
Use one of 2 knockouts provided for service entry on back of
Base Plate. If using surface wiring use knock out in right side
of cover. Use Knockout Gasket supplied around conduit for
water seal. See Mounting Details.
6. Identify the voltage of your dryer from the rating sticker of
the unit. Then connect to a circuit per your local wiring and
building regulations.
7. Secure electrical wiring to terminals as indicated by the
schematic afxed to blower housing. An identied ground
connection point is supplied on the Base Plate for your
equipment ground wire. Dryers should be installed per local
code requirements.
8. In multiple installations, make sure the serial number marked
on the inside matches the cover number. Then carefully
replace Cover by inserting top of cover over bracket and
tilting downward. Use Tamper-Proof Bolt previously
removed in step 2.
9. Restore power and test for proper operation.
10.Return Tamper-Proof Wrench to owner.

MOUNTING DETAILS CLEANING / MAINTENANCE
Gently wash Cover (including air inlet holes) using a
soft cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent with
lukewarm water to loosen dirt and grime.
It is recommended to inspect the inside of the dryer and
clean at least twice per year. Excessive lint, dust or other
particles in the air may require more frequent cleaning.
Lint on the air inlet, the dryer Pre-Filter, HEPA lter (if
so equipped) or other internal parts of dryer will reduce
efciency and shorten the life of the working parts.
Use the Tamper-Proof Wrench supplied and remove the
Tamper-Proof Bolt on bottom of cover, lifting upwards
to remove cover from base plate. Gently clean all
parts using a small soft brush. Remove the PreFilter,
rinse with water and dry. Inspect the HEPA Filter (if so
equipped) for any excessive debris buildup whenever
the Pre-Filter is removed.
DO NOT CLEAN THE HEPA FILTER OR ALLOW IT TO
COME INTO CONTACT WITH WATER. Reinstall the
Pre-Filter, cover and restore power.
Disconnect power to the dryer before cleaning. It is recommended that you refer to the
WHO or CDC for handling guidelines when cleaning the Pre-Filter or replacing the HEPA
lter if either may have been exposed to a contagion.

Light is ON – Place hands under Sensor for 10 sec. If light stays
on, check Sensor connection at control. If OK, replace Sensor or
Control. If light goes off and then ashes a code, see error codes in
CODE chart. If light still stays on, replace Control.
Light is OFF – Check for loose, disconnected or improper wiring
(See wiring schematic inside dryer Cover), or replace Control
Assembly.
Light is FLASHING – See error codes in CODE chart.
SENSOR RANGE ADJUSTMENT: If dryer will not turn on, stays on,
or stops working, it may be mounted too close to a counter or object
and has gone into lockout. If relocating appliance is not possible,
adjust the range of the Sensor. Turn off power to dryer then turn the
range adjustment on the Control Assembly counterclockwise towards
L (-) low to decrease Sensor range.
Dryer does not shut off
1. May be mounted too close to a counter or object (adjust Sensor
range).
2. Check for loose, disconnected or improper wiring (Refer to wiring
schematic afxed to blower housing).
3. Replace Control Assembly.
Dryer does not always turn on or turns on by itself
1. May be mounted too close to counter or object (adjust Sensor
range).
2. Check for foreign material on Optical Sensor next to Air Outlet.
3. Check for loose wires on Control Assembly.
4. Replace Control Assembly.
Dryer heats up but no air comes out
1. Check wire connections to Motor.
2. Replace Motor.
Dryer blows only cold air
1. Check heat setting on control.
2. Check for loose connections to Heating Element.
3. Replace Heating Element.
Dryer has a loss of air volume
1. Check motor speed setting on control.
2. Check for blockage at nozzle air outlet.
3. Check Dryer Pre-Filter for lint buildup. Check HEPA pre-lter
(if so equipped). Clean by removing Pre-Filter and rinse in warm
water then dry before reinstalling. A clogged lter code may be
present in the sensor.
4. After cleaning Pre-Filter, check HEPA Filter (if so equipped).
If dirty, replace HEPA Filter. DO NOT RINSE HEPA FILTER.
ADJUSTING THE HEAT OUTPUT, MOTOR SPEED AND SENSOR RANGE
The dryer is shipped with maximum heat and maximum motor speed. To adjust,
turn the corresponding knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to reduce.
H = Heat M = Motor R = Range
