Body dryer

Tip:
Remember, sound advice is to measure
twice, cut once.
Note:
The cut-outs in the template are not
symmetrical about the centre of the template.
When positioning the template make sure to use
the correct aspect.
Place the template supplied in the selected
position in the roof space and push a bradawl
or thin screwdriver through the plasterboard to
mark the four corners of the rectangular cut out,
the centre of the round hole and the centres
of the two smaller holes
(fig.8)
. Remember,
you are pushing through plasterboard and the
minimum effort required should be used.
From below, line up the template with the holes
made in the ceiling and mark the cut outs and
cover locating holes with a pen
(fig.9)
.
Before making any cuts align the cover to these
markings to confirm the chosen position.
Drill the four corners of the rectangular cut out
and one point on the inner edge of the large
round hole with an 8mm drill bit to allow for a
pad saw to be used
(fig.10)
. Open out the two
smaller holes to 20mm diameter.
When drilling or cutting from below it is
recommended that eye protection is used.
Waste material should be collected at the
highest convenient point since airborne particles
can cause respiratory discomfort. A vacuum
cleaner nozzle close to the drill bit or pad saw
cut can also reduce the overall volume.
It is useful to have an assistant when drilling or
cutting the plaster board to hold a catchment
tray or box for the falling debris. Do not forget
that they need personal protection too.
Clear out any debris that remains above ceiling
height.
Position the body dryer from above
(fig.11)
and inspect from below. Fit temporarily the
cover to confirm correct fit and alignment.
Support the unit between the joists using the
support straps and staples provided
(fig.12)
.
The straps need only be slightly tensioned.
Connect the communications cable to the body
dryer unit
(fig.13)
and route the cable through
the hole in the plasterboard in preparation for
plugging into cover
(fig.13)
.
