POSITIONING YOUR TOWEL WARMER
MOUNTING YOUR TOWEL WARMER
Do note that all models will have the power cord exiting on the bottom right bracket (when facing the towel
warmer mounted on the wall). Plan accordingly when setting up switches and electrical rough-in.
Select a desired position to mount the towel rail i.e. at least 600mm/2 feet above the floor and 300mm/1 foot
away from all permanent fixtures in the surrounding area (toilet, vanity, etc).
The left side of your towel warmer must be anchored into a stud. Use a stud-finder tool to locate the 2x4 behind
your drywall and mark it with a pencil. Hold your towel warmer level at the desired height and line it up with the
stud on the left hand side.
Using a pencil, draw around the end of each tube to mark their positions on the wall. Make sure your marks are
level and square as these will determine where you will secure the device to the wall.
Screw the mounting inserts securely to the wall at the locations marked. Press the towel warmer onto the
mounting inserts gradually, checking that each leg is lined up with the mounting inserts before applying force.
Mount the towel warmer with a single grub screw on each of the 4 brackets.
