Tall Round Towel Warmer 10 Bar Ladder
Operating Instructions
For Models: GTRAR10C , GTRAR10B
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP THEM HANDY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
• This appliance is intended to warm and dry towels and therefore is hot to the touch.
When used by or near young children or infirm persons, close supervision is
necessary. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• NOTE The surface temperature of your towel rail will be 20-25 degrees higher than
the ambient air temperature. Any rise in ambient air temperature is directly
reflected in the appliance and as a result of this the appliance will feel hotter to the
touch during warmer periods. Also the insulation effect of towels will cause the
operating temperature to increase. Example, if the ambient air temperature is 20
degrees, this will mean the towel rail surface will be approximately 40-50 degrees.
• The towel rail is to be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be touched
by a person in the bath or shower.
• DO NOT use this appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
• To avoid a hazard this heated towel rail MUST NOT be used to carry towels or any
other articles that have been in contact with oil, petroleum based products or dry
cleaning fluids.
• Use this appliance only with the voltage specified on the rating label, or elsewhere in
these instructions.
• Regulations require that electrical work be carried out only by authorised persons. For
your own safety and that of others ensure this is done.
• DO NOT immerse in any liquid.
• For service contact your nearest Authorised Service Agent.
WARNING: In order to avoid a hazard for young children, this appliance must be installed
so that the bottom rail is at least 600mm above the floor.

Installing your Towel Rail
Always choose a safe location for the Towel Rail, keeping in mind the safety
precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before
use.
WALL PREPARATION
Goldair Heated Towel Rails may be fixed to any type of timber stud, steel stud or
masonry (solid or cavity) wall.
Walls made from timber or steel require studs at the correct position for all rails. If the
precise position can’t be determined early in the job, consider sheets of 18mm
construction ply, covering a larger area.
This rail has a small footprint against the wall. The wire holes and mounting holes must
be drilled neatly and accurately.
For drilling through hard materials such as porcelain tiles, marble, granite etc. an
appropriate drill bit must be used.
No responsibility will be taken by Goldair for instances where installers drill incorrectly.
NOTE: Attempting to fix into plasterboard or cement sheeting alone is not
recommended. Plasterboard in particular will not hold long term.
PRE WIRING
NOTE: Only drill holes when you are 100% sure of your measurements.
A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with
the wiring guidelines AS/NZS 3000:2007.
Provision should be made for a Timer to control the mains supply. It is recommended
that a Timer is used for energy saving purposes. Goldair recommend a Goldair Heated
Towel Rail Timer (GBT100 – not supplied).
WALL MOUNTED TOWEL RAILS ARE ONLY TO BE MOUNTED ON HEAT
RESISTANT WALLS THAT COMPLY WITH CURRENT AS/NZS SPECIFICATIONS &
BUILDING REGULATIONS
WARNING: Installation must be completed by a registered electrician.

Installing your Towel Rail
1. You must first select which side of the towel rail needs to be wired in. The heated towel rail within this
box has two wiring options (left or right hand). The location of existing wiring through or on the wall will
dictate which side you will use.
Your Goldair towel rail comes with a quick-connect cable allowing for easy pre-installation of the mains
power by your electrician – once you have selected either left or right side cable exit, ensure that the
blank cover is fitted tightly to the non selected side for water tightness.
2. Select desired spot to mount towel rail with at least 300mm
Upper Legs
clearance from all permanent objects in surrounding area. The
Ladder Towel Rail should be installed in accordance to local
governing New Zealand regulations. The Goldair Heated
Ladder Towel Rail can only be mounted 1 way with wiring at
the top.
3. Decide if you will use the internal or external floor mounts
as noted on the previous page.
4. Once you have selected your installation location – carefully
mark on the wall and floor with a pencil the location of the legs
by holding the towel rail in place temporarily. Ensure the towel
rail is square and that the legs on the floor are the right
distance from the wall to ensure the uprights are
perpendicular to the floor.
5. Mark the centers of the leg locations and then drill holes
suitable for the supplied fixing screws, if installing into Gib,
concrete or block, insert wall plugs into the hole.
6. Screw the mounting bushes into place where you have
drilled the holes, if you are using a concealed cable installation
you will need to use the included concealed wall lug – screw
through the smaller hole, the cable enters through the larger
hole.
7. Now fit the upper legs onto the wall lugs and secure into
place using the grub screws supplied.
8. Once all of your wall mounts and upper legs are correctly
installed, you can carefully lower the towel rail onto the floor
mounts and then into the wall mounts.
9. Fix the legs in place using the grub screws for the lower legs
and the supplied short screws on the upper legs.
