The Sanela SLO 03C and SLO 03L are automatic wall-mounted hand dryers. Installation must be performed by a qualified person in compliance with standard CEI-64-8/7. The unit must be connected to a constant voltage source and not behind a light switch circuit to ensure proper operation. The dryer is equipped with an EPA filter, UV disinfection, and adjustable settings for heating, air flow, and sensor sensitivity.
Installation
The dryer should be installed at least 120 cm from the ground (measured from the air outlet) and at least 40 cm away from reflecting surfaces like washbasins to prevent incorrect sensor triggering. Ensure the electrical system capacity matches the dryer's maximum power.


Wall Mounting
- Mark the drilling points on the wall using the provided template.
- Drill holes (8 mm diameter) and insert wall plugs.
- Secure the base to the wall using the provided screws.
- Attach the cover to the base.
Electrical Connection
The unit can be connected via a standard plug or direct wiring. Ensure the power supply is constant. Do not connect the power supply unit behind a switch in a light circuit.
Operation
The hand dryer starts and stops automatically when hands approach or move away from the air outlet. If the internal temperature exceeds the limit, a thermostat with automatic reset will temporarily suspend motor operation for safety.
Parameters Setting
The device features internal controls located on the electronic board:

- Heating Element: Can be switched ON or OFF to save energy.
- Air Flow Volume: Adjustable via the variator (turning anticlockwise decreases power/noise, clockwise increases power).
- Sensor Sensitivity: Adjustable via the sensitivity setting control.
Maintenance
Disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with water and detergent. Periodically check that air inlet and outlet grids are not clogged.
Filter Maintenance
The EPA E11 filter removes dust and dirt. It must be cleaned periodically with compressed air (from approx. 20 cm distance) and replaced after a maximum of 1000 hours of use, along with the motor brush cartridges. Failure to clean the filter may cause motor fatigue and failure.
Troubleshooting
If the dryer stops after approximately 60 seconds, it is likely due to the photocell being blocked (e.g., by an object). Remove the obstruction; the dryer will resume normal function in 3-4 seconds. If the unit does not operate, verify the power connection and ensure it is not connected to a switched light circuit.
