Wall mounting

The wall mounting accessory pack contains the following:

(A) 4 mounting collars,

(B) 4 mounting brackets,

(C) 4 collar fixing screws,

(D) 4 bracket pins,

(X) 4 wall plugs,

(Y) 4 wall mounting screws,

Procedure for wall mounting

Wall mounting dimensions:

Fig. 3

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 (x) the wall to suit. Fix the mounting brackets to the wall using the screws provided (y). Ensure the bracket pin holes are aligned horizontally to allow the mounting pins to be inserted through the collars - see Fig. 4.

Note: Ensure the mounting brackets are aligned to allow easy assembly of the bracket pins once the towel rail is in place, it is recommended that the pins are inserted towards the adjacent wall (from outside the product) to provide the clearance necessary for the use of tools to secure the rail in place - see Fig. 5.

Step 3

Carefully place the four mounting collars around the towel rail uprights in the positions shown in Fig. 1 and secure in place using fixing screws

(C) provided - see Fig. 4. ensure the rear of the straps are facing directly backwards.

Fig. 4

Step 4

Lift the towel rail complete with the collars attached and align with the mounting brackets which were previously fixed to the wall. Insert the collar ends into the mounting brackets and fix in place using the bracket pins (D). The rail is then locked in place by rotating the pins a quarter turn - see Fig. 5.

Note: the collars can be repositioned to ensure the toewl rail is horizontal.

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.

There are no user serviceable parts on the towel rail.

WARNING - The bleed screw on the rear of the product is intended for the use of the service agent only and should never be opened.
