EC ON ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.
Installation
The device should only be used in an upright position.
Models with towel rail
Some models are equipped with a towel rail (E) that provides
a drying function and can be used only with the appliance
fixed to the wall.
If the unit is used in a bathroom, to avoid hazards, it must be
installed as shown in fig. 4. If installed in another room the
minimum distances shown must be respected.
The wall-mount kit includes:
1 bracket
2 x screws
2 x wall plugs (0.6x30)
Install as follows:
1. Remove the bracket mounted on the back, pulling it
downwards.
2. Choose the point to install the appliance ensuring that:
a. The plug and the socket are easily accessible after instal-
lation.
b. Neither the electrical cables nor other pipework can be
damaged.
c. Curtains or other flammable material are kept away
from the appliance.
3. Before drilling the wall, mark the exact points as shown
in fig.1.
4. For brick walls, use a 6 mm masonry bit. Drill and insert
the wall plugs provided. (For plasterboard or false walls
we suggest that you locate the wooden battens behind
and use wood screws size 6 directly into the wood or
special anchors.
For any other type of wall ask the advice of a specialist.
5. Secure the bracket with the two screws provided.
Next, insert the appliance into the top and bottom
hooks of the bracket, and then lightly press the unit
down.
Slowly lift the rail (E) to the first stop. To avoid overheating
problems in this mode, the heat setting should not exceed
1000W.
At this point you can hang towels or sheets on the rail for dry-
ing. When the appliance is not used in drying mode lift the
arm upwards up to the top which unlocks it and then bring
it down.
Attention!
Do not overload the towel rail (E) and pay
special attention to drying of delicate fabrics.
Models with pedestal
Models equipped with pedestal (F) can be used in a portable
version with the pedestal or wall-mounted, excluding the
need for the pedestal in the second case.
