1. Operation instructions
The installation and use of electrical appliances
must be carried out with due caution in order
to avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
The equipment must only be used as de-
scribed in these instructions. Any use outside
of the manufacturer recommendations could
lead to damage, fire, shock or injury.
Before using the appliance the instructions
should be read in their entirety and all ap-
propriate handling of the equipment must be
observed.
These instructions should be kept
safely and passed on to any future
owner.
In the event of any repair work, hand them

1.1 Description of the unit

The automatically operating Stiebel Eltron
HTE 4 and HTE 5 electronic hand dryers are
fitted with a proximity switch which activates
the fan when your hands are brought towards
it, (approximately 40 - 130 mm below the
warm air exit grille). The dryer automatically
switches off approximately 3 seconds after the
hands have moved away from the sensor.
The casing design does not allow cigarettes
or drinks etc to be placed on top, causing a
hazard. To retain this feature, when assembling
ensure that there are no gaps between the
wall and the unit.
In addition, the HTE 5 is protected against
damage by the cast aluminium casing.
1.2 Operation
In order to save energy and shorten the dry-
ing time, vigorously shake wet hands over the
washbasin, then hold your hands beneath the
air exit grille rubbing them together in the
warm airstream.

1.3 Safety notes

Do not operate the appliance
– in rooms which present fire or explosion
risks as a result of chemicals, dust, gases
or fumes;
– in the immediate vicinity of pipes or con-
tainers which carry or contain combusti-
ble or potentially explosive substances;
– if the minimum distances from adjoining
surfaces of objects are not met.
The appliance must not under any circum-
stances be operated if work such as the laying
of floor, polishing, sealing, cleaning with petrol
and maintenance of floors (spray, wax) and
similar is being carried out in the room where
it is installed. Afterwards, the room must be
sufficiently ventilated before the appliance is
operated.
During operation, temperatures of over 90 °C
can occur at the warm-air exit grille. Due to
the risk of overheating this should not be cov-
ered. There is a risk of burns!
Children must be kept away from the
appliance!
No objects of any kind must be placed on
the unit, leaned against it, or put between the
heating unit and the wall.
In addition, no combustible, flammable, or heat
insulating objects or materials such as washing,
blankets, magazines, containers holding floor
wax or petrol, spray cans and the like, should
be placed in the immediate vicinity of the unit.
Danger of fire!
In order to avoid overheating, the heater must
not be covered.
In the event of overheating the temperature
safety cut out switches off the heating ele-
ment and the fan continues to run in a cooling
mode. The heating element switches back on
after approximately two minutes.
The minimum distance of the air-outlet-grill
downward must be >300 mm.
The warm air must be able to with-
draw unhindered!
No articles must hang into any opening of
the appliance. This can lead to deadly current
draws and/or fires.
No changes at the equipment must be made.
Special caution is required, if the appliance is
used in the presence of children, invalid per-
sons or animals. Danger of injury!
Ensure that the air inlet grilles on the under-
side and rear of the dryer are always kept
open.
Trouble-free function and operational safety
can only be guaranteed if the original Stiebel
Eltron accessories and spare parts are used.

1.4 Care

When cleaning the casing, only use a soft
cloth, with a mild detergent if necessary, and
repolish with a soft cloth. Do not spray the
dryer with water or use any abrasive or caus-
tic cleaning agents.

1.5 Trouble-shooting

Like all proximity switches, the operation of
the sensor is impaired if it is covered. If this
happens the hand dryer automatically switch-
es off after 3 seconds preventing it from run-
ning continuously. In the event of an operating
failure, check that the sensor has not been
covered. After the removal of any objects the
dryer should function as normal.
