Step 4
Lift the towel rail complete with the bracket assemblies and align with
the outer bracket sleeves which were previously fixed to the wall.
Insert the inner sleeve brackets
into the outer sleeve brackets and fix
in place using the position locking screws (E). The rail is then locked
in place by rotating the pins a quarter turn - see
Fig. 6
.
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.
Operation
(Electrical)
Heat will be distributed along each of the rails.
Some variation in the temperature across the surface of the rail is
normal. When the appliance is covered the heating pattern of the
rails may alter, and generally temperatures at the upper part of that
rail will rise.
The towel rail may be switched on and off at the isolating wall switch
which must be positioned outside the bathroom, or operated by means
of a pull cord switch.
A further means of control would be to link the towel rail to
a room thermostat and/or timer. A room thermostat will
ensure that the rail automatically switches off in warmer weather. A
timer will allow for short periods of use.
Note:
If the towel rail is located in a bathroom the
adjustment for these controls must be located outside the bathroom.

Maintenance
There are no user serviceable parts on the towel rail.
The rail is filled with a precise quantity of specified liquid and should
never need draining or refilling. Repairs requiring the opening of the
liquid-tight seal must only be made by the manufacturer’s Service
Agent. Any leakage must be reported to the manufacturer’s Service
Agent.
The element and cable are a single unit and any maintenance
must be carried out by the manufacturers Service Agent using the
recommended parts.
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.

not
use abrasive
cleaning powders as this could damage the surface finish.
