CODE REQUIREMENTS
DO’S, DONT’S AND SAFETY INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL
• Use this appliance only with the voltage specified on the rating label.
• Electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician.
•
Make sure the supply cord never touches heated surfaces. If the electrical cord or connection is damaged DO NOT
attempt to repair; please contact the supplier.
•
Do not install towel rails in areas which may be subjected to saturation of water resulting in ingress of moisture.
It is recommended that all units are protected via a GFCI circuit. The GFCI can be included on your breaker at the panel, or
built into the thermostat like the Warmup 3iE and 4iE thermostats.
As with any electrical appliance, you should be aware of basic safety precautions when using this heated towel warmer.
Please read these instructions, and file them for future reference:
•
Because this appliance gets hot, young children and impaired people or persons with disabilities should be supervised
when nearby. Do not let children treat the towel rail as a toy.
•
Do not hang excessive loads from the towel warmer rails. While securely anchored to the wall when properly installed,
it is not intended to replace or serve as a grab bar.
•
The towel warmer should NOT be used for anything other than its intended use of warming up and drying bathroom
towels.
•
Occasionally wipe down your towel warmer from time to time with a damp cloth and/or a stainless steel cleaner. Do
not use any abrasives or corrosive cleaners.
•
Be aware that the towel rail will get slightly hotter than normal during warmer weather and when insulated by towels.
•
Do not put the towels, or anything else which has been in contact with hazardous liquids, on this towel rail.
•
Do not immerse the towel rail in any liquid.
•
Please note that this appliance must be installed as prescribed by the relevant wiring rules and regulations, including the
regulations covering installation of appliances and accessories in ‘wet areas’ such as bathrooms, showers and laundries.
Installations should be in accordance with National and Local Electrical Codes applicable in both the US and CANADA.
•
In plain words, make sure that all wiring connections are done safely and according to code. Check with a professional
electrician if unsure. Some areas require rigid or flexible conduit. Most areas require all connections to be made in an
approved electrical box. Again, follow the instructions and hire licensed help where required to comply with your local
regulations.
Note:
• This appliance requires a connection to ground
• An accessible all pole disconnection switch is required in the fixed wiring
• The heated towel warmer should be mounted vertically with the cord exiting from the base; it should be positioned
at least 600mm/2 feet above the floor.
