Operating Instructions
The Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer features touch-free operation for hygienic use and offers two distinct drying modes.
Hand Drying Procedure
- Place your hands under the air outlets. The infrared sensor will automatically detect your hands and activate the airflow.
- Slowly draw your hands through the air stream from wrists to fingertips. The curved blade design directs powerful sheets of air to remove water efficiently.
- Repeat the motion several times, rotating your hands as needed, until your hands are completely dry. The typical dry time is 10-12 seconds in Max mode.
Operating Modes
The Dyson Airblade 9kJ offers two modes to suit different needs:
- Max Mode: Provides the fastest drying experience (10-12 seconds) with maximum airflow. This mode is ideal for high-traffic areas where speed is paramount.
- Eco Mode: Offers energy-efficient operation, reducing power consumption and annual running costs. While slightly longer, this mode is suitable for environments prioritizing energy savings.
Instructions on how to switch between Eco and Max modes are detailed in the comprehensive installation and operation guide.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure your Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer continues to perform efficiently and hygienically.
Cleaning
- Always disconnect the power supply to the unit before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
- Regularly clean the air inlets and outlets to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can impede airflow.
HEPA Filter
The Dyson Airblade 9kJ is equipped with a HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air used to dry hands.
