How to replace the filter
Replacement parts for your hand dryer can be carried out by carefully following the instructions given in the replacement pack and installation guide. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician or contact the Dyson Helpline for support.
If required for high usage environments, a Dyson filter change kit provides everything needed to change the unit's HEPA filter.
The air inlets should be regularly checked to ensure that they are free from dust and debris. Wiping the inlets with a soft cloth should be sufficient to remove dust and debris. If the air inlets get clogged, further cleaning or a filter change may be required.
Is there anything else we can help you with?
Reference code:
Changing the filter
Remove the two anti-tamper screws from the Main body using the service tool provided.

Lift the Main body up from the bottom and remove from the backplate.

Release the four catches.

Lift out both of the older HEPA filter housing assemblies.
Push both of the replacement HEPA filter housing assemblies in place, ensuring the catches on the top are facing up and the catch on the side is towards the top of the unit.

Fasten the four catches.

Hook the Main body of the unit over the top rim of the backplate. Swing the Main body of the unit down on to the backplate. (For installations with the cable entry on the side, ensure that the side bracket seal is correctly seated against the Main body).
