Need help?Do you have a question about the Valiryo BODY DRYER and is the answer not in the manual?
Requires a 240 V outlet with GFCI installed for secure installation.
Details North American electrical supply (two hot wires, one neutral) and the connection method.
Install the 240 V circuit breaker in the circuit panel.
Connect wires to the new breaker, route the cable, and install the receptacle box outside the shower space.
Turn on the new breaker and verify that the Valiryo works properly.
This document provides a user guide for installing the Valiryo Body Dryer in North America, emphasizing that electrical installation must be performed by a specialized professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.
The Valiryo Body Dryer is designed to provide a full-body drying experience, offering an alternative to towel drying. Its primary function is to deliver warm air to dry the user's body after showering or bathing. This device is particularly designed for use in North America, where specific electrical requirements differ from other regions.
The Valiryo Body Dryer operates at a power of 2800 W, which necessitates a 220-240 V electrical connection. This is a crucial distinction from most standard North American appliances, which typically connect to 110-120 V and have a power limit of approximately 1700 W. The higher power rating of the Valiryo allows for efficient and effective body drying.
For safe and proper operation, the Valiryo must be connected to a 240 V outlet with a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) installed. While 240 V outlets are common in North American homes, it is recommended to consult a professional installer to ensure the correct and secure connection to the home's electrical network.
North American electrical power is typically supplied with three wires: a black wire (+120 V hot), a red wire (-120 V hot), and a white wire (0 V neutral). The Valiryo Body Dryer requires connection between the two hot wires (black and red) to achieve the necessary 240 V. The white neutral wire from the home network should not be connected to the Valiryo. The Valiryo's wiring consists of two wires for connection to the hot lines and one wire that should be connected to the white (neutral) line from the home network.
The installation process involves several steps to ensure safe and compliant operation:
While the document primarily focuses on installation, the emphasis on professional installation and adherence to NEC requirements indirectly contributes to the long-term maintenance and safe operation of the device. Proper initial installation by a specialized professional minimizes the risk of electrical issues, which could otherwise lead to device malfunction or safety hazards.
The use of a GFCI-protected 240 V outlet is a key safety feature that also contributes to maintenance by protecting the device and the user from ground faults. A GFCI will trip and cut power if it detects an imbalance in the electrical current, preventing potential damage to the Valiryo and reducing the risk of electric shock, especially in a bathroom environment.
The requirement to install the receptacle box outside the shower space is another critical safety and maintenance consideration. This prevents the electrical connections from being exposed to direct water spray or high humidity, which could lead to corrosion, short circuits, or other electrical failures over time. By keeping the electrical connections in a drier environment, the longevity and reliability of the Valiryo's electrical system are enhanced.
Regular checks by a qualified electrician, especially if any operational anomalies are observed, would be a recommended maintenance practice, though not explicitly detailed in this user guide. Given the device's high power rating and its use in a potentially wet environment, ensuring the integrity of its electrical connections and components is paramount for continued safe and effective operation.
In summary, the Valiryo Body Dryer offers a powerful and efficient drying solution for North American users, designed with specific electrical requirements that necessitate professional installation to ensure safety and compliance with local codes. Its design and installation guidelines prioritize user safety and device longevity through robust electrical connections and strategic placement away from direct water exposure.
