Operating Instructions

for the user

In order to dry your hands most efficiently, please use the
following procedure:

• shake off excess water over the wash basin

• place hands underneath the unit at a distance of 4" - 7"

• rub your hands together as if you were washing them

Your hands will be dry within 25 - 35 seconds.

The STIEBEL ELTRON GALAXYTM 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 has had a chance to cool down.

Normal Care

To clean the case use a soft cloth with a mild detergent if
necessary. Never use any abrasive cleaners since they will
scratch the finish of the unit. Never spray water or cleaning
fluids directly on hand dryer. While cleaning the unit, make sure
the electric eye switch is not covered. THE GALAXYTM HAND

DRYER DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY PARTS SERVICEABLE BY THE LAY
PERSON. IN CASE OF MALFUNTION PLEASE CONTACT A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN.
