3. Operating Instructions
The AIKE AK2803D hand dryer operates automatically using an infrared motion sensor.
3.1 Hand Drying Process
- Place your hands under the air outlet of the hand dryer. The sensor will detect your hands and automatically activate the airflow.
- Move your hands gently back and forth under the airflow for optimal drying. The powerful jet air ensures fast drying, typically within 10-15 seconds.
- Once your hands are dry, remove them from the sensor's range. The hand dryer will automatically shut off.
