ecostrad Fina-E Thermostatic Electric Towel Rail

Warnings & Precautions

Please read these instructions thoroughly before commencing installation.

Please check that all ancillary components are present and that the product has not suffered any damage during transit. Make sure you are entirely happy with the size, design and finish before starting installation.

Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional or other fully competent person and in accordance with the relevant British and European standards (EN60335:2008, EN12828:2003, EN12831:2003 and EN14336:2004), and all applicable Building Regulations.

This towel rail has been pre-filled and adjusted for electrical standalone use. No filling is required. Do not remove any of the seals as this might cause leakages and void the warranty.

• When drilling or fixing into walls, floors or ceilings it is essential you check for pipes and wires before commencing. Please ensure that you wear all necessary personal protective equipment.
• Always switch off the electricity supply at the mains during installation, cleaning and maintenance.
• Make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating label for this appliance corresponds to your power outlet.
• Electrical safety is guaranteed only if the element is connected to a suitably earthed electricity supply, according to the regulations in force.
• Do not use the device if you detect damage to the supply cable. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
• The wires must be connected in an electrical connection box which complies with applicable standards.
• The towel rail will get very hot so it is not suitable for use in locations where this could cause a hazard, such as places where infirmed persons or young children will be present unsupervised.
• The element must be permanently connected to a suitable electricity supply using the cable provided. The connection should be made via a fused spur in accordance with IEE wiring regulations. If sited in a bathroom, the fused connection unit must be located out of the reach of persons using the sink, shower or bath.

Wall Mounting

1. Check that the wall is strong enough to hold the weight of the pre-filled towel rail. On plasterboard walls we strongly recommend fixing to the timbers. The Wall Plugs supplied are only suitable for solid walls and you will need alternative fixings for other wall types.
2. Mark your preferred bracket positions on the wall and drill holes for the Wall Plugs or whichever alternative fixings you intend to use.
3. Screw the Bracket Bases to the wall using the Washers and Wall Screws provided.
4. Loosely fit the Bracket Stems to the towel warmer with the Bracket Fronts and Bracket Screws.
5. Align the Bracket Stems with the Bracket Bases and push the towel warmer back into position.
6. Tighten the Bracket Screws with a screwdriver.
7. Insert the Mini Screws into the Bracket Bases and tighten with a screwdriver to lock the bracket into position.
8. Push the Cover Caps into position on the Bracket Fronts.

Connecting the Towel Rail
Wiring the heating element to the mains is a job for a qualified electrician.
Please consult the element manual for full instructions and safety warnings.

Please note: the heating element must always be located at the bottom of the rail. DO NOT fit the element at the top.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will keep the surface of your product looking new.
Soapy water can be used to remove stubborn marks. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners as these will damage the surface finish over time.
