newtech SR232 Freedom Heated Towel Rails

Instructions

This electrical appliance is intended to warm and dry towels and therefore hot to touch. Young children or infirm persons should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with or misuse the appliance. The towel rail has been designed to withstand the loads expected during normal operation as a towel rail. The towel rail is not a ladder and should not be used as such.

ELECTRICAL
The towel rail must be wired by a registered electrician. An isolating switch must be positioned near the towel rail but out of reach from wet areas like baths and showers. A wall or ceiling cavity must be available to conceal the transformer. All rails must be connected to the 12 Volt transformer in parallel and cannot be connected directly to 240V supply.

WARNING
These ralls have a small footprint against the wall and secureness should be periodically checked. The Allen Key securing the rail may require tightening especially during the settling period. The cable holes and fixing holes must be neatly and accurately drilled. For drilling through hard surfaces eg. porcelain tiles, marble or granite etc, a diamond core drill must be used. Ensure final rail position will conceal wiring hole.

WALL MOUNTING

The towel rail mounting spigot must be fastened to a solid fixing point, eg. timber or brickwork. The mounting face of the towel rail must be fitted against a solid surface eg. tiles (not suitable directly onto gib or plasterboard). Recommended location is 600mm above floor, 300mm from any permanent fixing and 25Omm between rails.

INSTALLATION

Typical wiring for timber framed walls is Ihe distance from the transformer to the furthest 12V connection should be no more than 2000mm. Make sure that the 12V cabling doesn’t cross the 230V mains cable. Insulation should be removed from the vicinity of the transformer toa radius of 150mm. The single bar heated towel rail is designed as dual wire option (left or right hand)- nect one Side only.

BEFORE LINING

Drill 1Omm diameter holes in the wall framing first.
Use a level to make sure that these holes are plumb.
The recommended vertical distance between rails is 25Omm.
Pull the supplied appliance wire through the 10mm holes and connect to the 12V transformer (also supplied).

AFTER LINING

Fix the top rail first and work downwards.
Fix the mounting blocks at the cable end first.
Take care to ensure that the rail, in its final position, will fully conceal the wiing and cable hole.
Use a level to determine the correct position for the blocks at the non-cabled end
Fix the mounting blocks at the non-cabled end.
Connect the appliance wiring to the towel rail element using the wire nuts provided.
Make sure that there are no white and blue wires Connected as this would create a short circuit.
DO NOT PULL THE WIRE OUT OF THE TOWEL RAIL THIS WIRE IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNAL HEATING CABLE. PULLING OUT THE WIRE WILL EXTRACT THE HEATED SEGMENT.
Push the towel rail onto the mounting spigots until flush with the wall. Fix the towel rail in position using the Allen key provided. Continue to fit the remaining rails using the same procedure.

CARE &CLEANING

Do not use cream cleaners, abrasive or corrosive cleaners.
The heated towel rails are best wiped down from time to time with a damp cloth.
