Maintenance
How to use
Place your hands beneath the Dyson
Airblade™ hand dryer arms and it will start
automatically, creating sheets of air that
scrape water from your hands.
For best dry time results:
Keep your hands flat and parallel to the
machine's surface, approximately 5mm from
the air aperture, drawing your hands through
the airflow from your wrists to finger tips.
Move your hands backwards and forwards
slowly through the air, turning them over
so both back and front are exposed to
the airflow.
Keep your hands flat, close the gaps between
your fingers and keep your thumbs tucked in,
so the whole of your hand is drawn through
the airflow.

modes, go to www.dyson.com/airblade

Cleaning
The hand dryer should be cleaned daily.
Wipe the sensors using a soft cloth and non-
abrasive cleaner.
Important information
Do not pressure wash the machine.
All cleaning chemicals should be used exactly
as indicated by the manufacturer’s
instructions (including appropriate dilution).
Any chemicals intended for use should
first be tested on an inconspicuous area
to confirm suitability. Aside from cleaning
chemicals, care should be taken to avoid any
harmful fluids from coming into contact with
the product, in particular oils and alcohol-
based products.
Filter maintenance
Regularly check the air inlet to ensure that it is
free from dust and debris. Simply wiping the
inlet with a soft cloth should be sufficient to
remove dust and debris.
If the air inlet gets clogged, further cleaning
or a filter change might be required.
If required for high usage environments, a
Dyson filter change kit provides everything
needed to change your machine’s HEPA
filter on site. Contact the Dyson Helpline for
more information.
Filter cleaning or replacement for your hand
dryer can be carried out by carefully following
the instructions given in the filter change kit. If
in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician or
contact the Dyson Helpline for support.
