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 (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

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.
