4. Appliance description
In order to dry your hands most efficiently, please use the following procedure:
fShake off excess water over the wash basin
fPlace hands underneath the unit at a distance of 4˝–7˝
fRub your hands together as if you were washing them
Your hands will be dry within 25– 35 seconds.
The Stiebel Eltron Galaxy™series hand dryers are equipped with an infrared sensor
switch. This sensor will activate the unit when hands are placed underneath it.
Approximately 7 seconds after the hands have been removed, the unit will
automatically shut off.
The sensor is the black rectangle located underneath the unit between the air exit
and air inlet grills. The sensor switch will not work properly if it has been covered by
gum or dirt. If the sensor is obstructed, the hand dryer will switch off automatically
to prevent it from running continuously. Should the unit overheat, a safety high-
limit switch will turn off the heating element. The safety high-limit switch resets
automatically once the heating element cools down.
