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 each 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
switched on, as this may in time, affect the product 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.
Cleaning
The finish on your towel rail can be maintained by occasionally wiping
over with a damp cloth and lightly finishing with a soft dry cloth. This
should only be carried out when the rail is cold.
Do
not
use abrasive
cleaning powders as this could damage the surface finish.
