OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing AVENIR Bathroom Accessories and for supporting a 100% Australian designed and manufactured product.
AVENIR heated towel ladders are designed to suit stud walls with tiles or masonry walls. Non-masonry walls with no tiles will require
a timber substrate directly behind each point where the ladder is fixed to the wall. In this case follow the procedure below, with the
exception that no wall plugs are required.
SAFETY
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. This appliance is rated
IPX5 and can be installed zones 1, 2 or 3 in the bathroom.
WARNING: For safety protection, this electrical appliance relies on the earth being connected to a residual current device. Please ensure this
device is installed, connected and working. In order to avoid hazards for young children, this appliance should be installed so that the lowest rail is
at least 600mm above the floor.
ELECTRICAL
This appliance must be installed, serviced and maintained by a qualified electrician and MUST be earthed. An isolating switch/timer
should be installed by the electrician, in a position near the heated towel ladder. The heated towel ladder will include two meters of
electrical cable. The location of the isolation switch/timer must be within this distance from the cable entry position of the heated
towel ladder (through the bottom left or right leg - as selected at the time of purchase). The length of the heated towel ladder cable
may be extended by the electrician in accordance with the appropriate wiring regulations.
PRE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS – In-Wall Kit (TLCF)
•Provision must be made for an isolating
switch box and timer with a 20mm conduit
to the heated towel ladder location. The
distance between the two should be less
than 2 meters.
•Install the supplied elbow and fixing
socket behind the wall surface with the
fixing socket protruding through the wall
surface. The wall lining (and tiles) will
require a 16mm hole to accommodate the
fixing socket. Please note the fixing
socket is made from PVC and can be
glued into the elbow using standard PVC
pipe cement.
•Provision must be made for a draw wire
from the isolating switch box, through the
20mm conduit and elbow and should exit
the wall through the fixing socket. This will
be used later to draw the 2-meter wire,
supplied as part of the heated towel
ladder, through to the isolating switch box
and timer.
•For masonry wall installation, provision
must be made for a cavity in the masonry
to accommodate the in-wall structure as
described above.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE – HEATED TOWEL LADDERS
Drill holes using MDF drilling fixture
•Using the supplied double-sided tape, fix the MDF drilling
fixture (template) squarely to wall.
•Drill 3 x 8mm holes using an 8mm drill bit and the supplied
drilling fixture as a guide.
Fix the mounting template to the wall
•Trim the fixing socket flush with the wall surface using a
sharp blade.
•Feed the draw wire through the fixing screw. Use an
adjustable spanner to screw the fixing into the fixing socket
in the wall. Take care not to over tighten.
Fix the mounting components to the wall
•Use an 8mm masonry bit to drill the holes to the depth of
40mm.
•Insert the wall plugs and screw the mounting components to
the wall.
Electrical connection
•Using the draw wire, pull the 2 meter heated towel ladder
cable through to the isolating switch box.
•Fit the heated towel ladder onto the mounting components
and fasten the grub screws using the supplied allan key.
•Connect the electrical cable to the isolating switch and timer
and apply electrical power. Allow 30 to 60 minutes to allow
rail to reach maximum temperature.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: For prolonged element life and energy conservation, heated towel ladders should be connected to a timer, set
to 25% usage or less.
