The Thermorail models in this guide can be installed with either concealed or exposed wiring, with the electrical supply connected at the bottom or top, left or right hand mounting point. This section concentrates on the concealed wiring method. For exposed wiring see page 6.

1. Collect the parts you need
   Ensure that you have all the correct parts needed for concealed wiring installation of this towel rail. Pictured below are the parts and quantities needed. The remaining parts are only used for exposed wiring installations so can be disposed of.

2. Fix the Legs to the Thermorail
   First, decide which side you want to connect the electrical supply to and then allocate the appropriate legs to each of the three remaining mounting points. Remove the mounting brackets from inside the legs by releasing the grub screws with the allen key provided. Attach the two non-wired legs to the rail using the machine screws and a crosshead screwdriver. Attach the third leg to the non-wired point at the bottom of the rail using two of the small machine screws and a crosshead screwdriver.

3. Plan and Measure Your Installation
   Measure and mark out the four wall bracket positions making sure they are level. The easiest way to mark this is to put some masking tape or similar at the location of the four mounting positions and then hold the rail against the wall and once it is straight and level mark the four leg footprints on the tape. Warning: In order to avoid a hazard for very young children, this appliance should be installed so that the lowest heated rail is at least 600mm above the floor.

4. Install the Wall Brackets
   Drill a pilot hole in the centre of each of the three marked mounting positions and insert the wall plugs provided. Now fix the three wall brackets in place using the countersunk screws and a cross head screwdriver. In the fourth position drill a larger hole (12mm) for the electrical cable.

5. Connect Power Lead & Wall Bracket
   Remove the 3 pin plug from the end of the lead. Connect the lead to the rail at your chosen position by unscrewing the screw cap (See Diagram 2a.), pulling out the cap, lifting from the red ring (See Diagram 2b.) inserting the lead into the connection point ensuring that the pins match up correctly using the arrows marked (See Diagram 2c.) and tighten the screw cap (See Diagram 2d.). Slide the concealed wiring leg over the electrical cable (See Diagram 2e.) and fix in place using the small machine screws and a cross head screw driver (See Diagram 2f.).
   Ensure you connection is pushed in fully and screw cap is screwed on tightly with the arrows matching up.

6. Connect to Main Supply

Operating Instructions & Warranty Information

Operating Instructions
All the Heated Towel Rails in this installation guide are dry element electric Heated Towel Rails. Electric Heated Towel rails are designed to run on a low wattage and will heat up quickly, with warmth being felt within 5-10mins. The towel rail will reach optimum operating temperature in approx. 30mins. Running temperature of the Electric Heated Towel Rail is 35degrees without a towel on the rail. Once a towel has been placed on the towel rail this will insulate it and beneath the towel it will get to 50-55degrees. Although the towel rail will reach optimum operating temperature in approx. 30mins it will take approx. 3-4 hours to dry the towel. Please note this will vary depending on a number of factors including the ambient room temperature, size of the towel rail, the number of towels and the dampness level of the towels. Electric Heated Towel Rails are designed to dry and gently warm a towel and are not designed as a towel heater or room heater.
