CAUTION: Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns.
Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are
present. Precautions should be taken to ensure that prolonged contact with the
towel rail cannot occur. Particular care should be taken in confined areas
where accidental prolonged contact with the rail could be more likely to
occur. This appliance should only be used to dry fabrics washed in water using
commonly available detergents.
A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules. The supply circuit to the heater must
incorporate a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at
least 3mm.If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
IMPORTANT: If the towel rail is to be installed in a place used by the
public, a warning notice should be placed adjacent to the rail advising that
the surface can be hot.
WARNING: the towel rail is a sealed unit and is filled and sealed under
controlled conditions. Under no circumstances should the seal of the unit be
compromised. 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.
General
The towel rail is designed to provide an all year round service for airing towels and articles of clothing. It is not intended to provide a sole heating service, but will take the chill off a small size bathroom, lavatory or en suite.No routine maintenance is necessary apart from occasional cleaning. The unit is splashproof to IPX5 standard.
Electrical
WARNING – This appliance must be earthed
The electrical installation of this towel rail must be carried out by a
competent electrician in accordance with the current I.E.E Regulations. The
towel rail is suitable for use on an A.C.~ electrical supply. Before
installation check that the supply voltage corresponds with that marked on the
rail.
IMPORTANT – The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
- BLUE
- BROWN
- GREEN/ YELLOW
- NEUTRAL
- LIVE
- EARTH
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is colored GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or
colored green or green and yellow. The wire which is colored BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or colored black.
The wire which is colored BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or colored red.
This appliance must only be used on A.C. mains supply of 230/240 Volts~.
Installation
If fitted in a room containing a bath or shower, to comply with the current
I.E.E. Regulations, a cable outlet will be necessary with the supply to the
heater controlled by a double-pole pull-cord switch having a contact
separation of 3mm in each pole. The body of the switch should be situated as
to be normally inaccessible to a person using a bath or shower. Alternatively,
the switch can be located outside of the bathroom.
IMPORTANT – Protect the electrical connection whilst handling the towel
rail. The towel rail must be permanently fixed to the wall using the wall
brackets supplied.
WARNING – to ensure safe, correct operation the rail must only be mounted
vertically as shown in Fig. 1, observing the minimum clearances stated.
WARNING – The towel rail is heavy. Care must be taken when lifting and
fitting the towel rail.
Wall mounting
The wall mounting accessory pack contains the following:
- 4 Mounting collars,
- 4 Rail seats,
- 4 Inner wall bracket sleeve,
- 4 Outer wall bracket sleeve,
- 4 Position locking screws,
- 4 Wall plugs,
- 4 Wall mounting screws,
Procedure for wall mounting
Wall mounting dimensions:
Step 1
Mark suitable mounting hole positions for the fixing brackets (ensuring they
are horizontal) – see Fig. 3, ensure to allow enough room above and below to
maintain the minimum clearance stated in Fig. 1.
Step 2
Drill and plug (F) the wall to suit. Fix the outer wall bracket sleeve (D) to
the wall using the screws provided (G). Ensure to align the bracket so that
the fixing hole is accessable once the towel rail is fitted – see Fig. 4.
Note: we recommend that the fixing hole is positioned horizontally,
towards the side of the towel rail. This will allow easy access with a
screwdriver when fixing the rail in its final position.
Step 3
Carefully assemble the four mounting collars (A) and rail seats (B) to the
towel rail and secure in the positions by inserting and turning the inner
bracket sleeve (C) through 90 degrees as shown in Fig. 5. The brackets should
be placed on the bottom and second from top rails and separated by a distance
of 360mm. Ensure the inner bracket sleeves are facing directly backward
Step 4
Lift the towel rail complete with the bracket assemblies and align with the
outer bracket sleeves which were previously fixed to the wall. Insert the
inner sleeve brackets into the outer sleeve brackets and fix in place using
the position locking screws (E). The rail is then locked in place by rotating
the pins a quarter turn – see Fig. 6.
Drying and airing towels
It is recommended that for efficient drying, no more than two layers of towels
or similar fabric should be draped over the rail. Items should be placed
evenly over the whole surface of the rail where possible.
It is not advisable to leave very damp towels or clothes on the towel rail
when not in use, as this may in time, affect the paint finish.
The rail, although hot to the touch is not hot enough to scorch or burn
fabrics. However, soap and detergents remaining in articles after washing can
cause discoloration. Therefore care should be taken to thoroughly rinse
articles before airing.
Operation (Electrical)
Heat will be distributed along each of the rails. Some variation in the
temperature across the surface of the rail is normal. When the appliance is
covered the heating pattern of the rails may alter, and generally temperatures
at the upper part of that rail will rise. The towel rail may be switched on
and off at the isolating wall switch which must be positioned outside the
bathroom, or operated by means of a pull cord switch.A further means of
control would be to link the towel rail to a room thermostat and/or timer. A
room thermostat will ensure that the rail automatically switches off in warmer
weather. A timer will allow for short periods of use.
Note: If the towel rail is located in a bathroom the adjustment for these
controls must be located outside the bathroom.
Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable parts on the towel rail.The rail is filled with
a precise quantity of specified liquid and should never need draining or
refilling. Repairs requiring the opening of the liquid-tight seal must only be
made by the manufacturer’s Service Agent. Any leakage must be reported to the
manufacturer’s Service Agent. The element and cable are a single unit and any
maintenance must be carried out by the manufacturer’s Service Agent using the
recommended parts.
Cleaning
The finish on your towel rail can be maintained by occasionally wiping over
with a damp cloth and lightly finishing with a soft dry cloth. This should
only be carried out when the rail is cold. Do not use abrasive cleaning
powders as this could damage the surface finish.
Recycling
For electrical products sold within the European Community.
