Zusammenfassung:	A system (2, Fig 1) comprises a hand dryer appliance 4 having an electronic control system 40. The electronic control system is configured to determine a down-time period during which the hand dryer appliance has been non-operational since a previous operational period. The determined down-time period may be used to inform various actions by the electronic control system. A trend of extended down-time periods might indicate a less popular machine, which might be due to its location. Therefore, such information could be used to flag a lower maintenance demand to a facilities management computer as part of an appliance management regime. Alternatively, an extended down-time period may trigger a maintenance action via an alert message (69, Fig 5).
