Step 1
Mark suitable mounting hole positions for the fixing brackets (ensuring
they are horizontal) - see Fig. 3, ensure to allow enough room above
and below to maintain the minimum clearance stated in Fig. 1.
Step 2
Drill and plug (x) the wall to suit. Fix the mounting brackets to the wall
using the screws provided (y). Ensure the bracket pin holes are
aligned horizontally to allow the mounting pins to be inserted through
the collars - see Fig. 4.
Note: Ensure the mounting brackets are aligned to allow easy
assembly of the bracket pins once the towel rail is in place, it is
recommended that the pins are inserted towards the adjacent wall
(from outside the product) to provide the clearance necessary for
the use of tools to secure the rail in place - see Fig. 5.
Step 3
Carefully place the four mounting collars around the towel rail uprights
in the positions shown
in Fig. 1 and secure in place using fixing
screws (C) provided - see Fig. 4. ensure the rear of the straps are
facing directly backwards.
Tip: it is advisable not to over tighten the collars in order to allow them
to rotate on the rail uprights while mounting the rail on the wall.
???
Step 4
Lift the towel rail complete with the collars attached and align with
the mounting brackets which were previously fixed to the wall.
Insert the collar ends into the mounting brackets and fix in place
using the bracket pins (D). The rail is then locked in place by rotating
the pins a quarter turn - see Fig. 5.
?
?
Note: the collars can be repositioned to ensure the towel rail is
horizontal.
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.
