Troubleshooting

Hand dryer not turning on

Check that the unit is properly connected to the power source. Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the power switch on the unit is in the 'on' position.

Inspect the air intake and outlet for any obstructions. Check if the HEPA filter is clogged and requires cleaning or replacement. Ensure the speed setting is not set to the lowest level if stronger airflow is desired.

Water is leaking from the unit

Ensure the water collection tank is correctly inserted and not overfilled. Check that the tank is securely sealed after emptying and cleaning.
