Maintenance And Cleaning Instructions; Filter Replacement - Vortex Ultra HS Installation And Operating Manual

9. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: We are certain of having the best possible dryers in the market but since there is
lint and debris in the air we suggest the following maintenance schedule to keep your Vortex
dryer free of these particles.
Once a year for light or moderate traffic washroom.
Every 6 months in a high traffic washroom.
To clean the dryer:
1. Go to the circuit panel to place breaker or fuse in the OFF position, never attempt to install,
clean interior or service the unit without first shutting off its power source.
2. Use the tamper proof key supplied and turn screws counter-clockwise to remove the cover
from the dryer.
3. Use a soft bristle brush accessory on a vacuum to remove any existing lint, dust or debris
from the air intake slots as well as motor's exterior taking care not to break the
Germicidal bulb.
4. After cleaning, reassemble the dryer cover using the tamper proof key supplied and turn
the cover mounting screws clockwise and tighten till snug. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

10. FILTER REPLACEMENT

All Vortex dryers come standard with a lint and debris filter. The service life of this filter depends on
the environment as well as the washroom traffic. We suggest cleaning or changing filter, whichever
is required at the same frequency as the maintenance schedule.
To inspect, clean or replace filter:
1. Go to the circuit panel to place breaker or fuse in the OFF position, never attempt to install,
clean interior or service the unit without first shutting off its power source.
2. Use the tamper proof key supplied and turn screws clockwise to remove the cover from the
dryer.
3. Use a soft bristle brush accessory on a vacuum to remove any existing lint, dust or debris from
the air intake slots as well as motor's exterior taking care not to break the Germicidal bulb.
4. Removing and replacing the filter is easily done by following FIGURE 1, for the VORTEX
CLASSIC HS HAND DRYER AND THE VORTEX JYM HS HAIR DRYER these units have one
filter as indicated in drawing. For the VORTEX ADA HS OR THE VORTEX ULTRA HS both have
2 filters, one on the right hand side of the nozzle and one on the left hand side of the nozzle, as
shown in FIGURE 2.
