This product has been manufactured in accordance with our stringent quality requirements to give you total satisfaction. To get the
most out of your radiator we advise you to read these instructions carefully and keep them to hand.
: to avoid any danger to very young children, you are advised to install this
appliance so that the lowest heating bar is at least 600mm off the floor.
: to avoid overheating, do not cover the appliance.
Do not sit on the heating appliance.
Caution, hot surface.
- some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular attention has to be given where children and
vulnerable people are present.
Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.
Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed
in its intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in
a safe way and understanding the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and
clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be made by children without supervision.
This appliance should be connected, according to rules and standards in application, only by an authorized person.
A towel radiator must be used for the purpose for which it is intended and not as a table, chair, toy, ladder, etc.
It is protected from ingress of water and can be installed within zone 1 (bath and shower) for IPx5 or zone 1 (bath) and zone 2
(shower) for IPx4 (see section 2.1) as long as the electrical controls are out of reach of anyone using the bath or shower.
The electricity supply must be protected by a residual current device with a maximum of 30mA, especially when installed in a room
containing a bathtub or shower.
This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when
they are occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
If the power cable is damaged, for safety reasons it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s after-
sales service department or a similarly qualified person.
The heating appliance must not be placed underneath a power outlet.
This appliance is not intended for use at altitudes exceeding 2000 m.
This heating appliance is filed with a precise quantity of liquid. Any repair work requiring the product to be opened should only be
carried out by the manufacturer or their after-sales service department, which should also be contacted in the event of a leak.
When disposing of the heating appliance, comply with the local regulations.
This electrical appliance with circulating fluid is delivered ready to use. It is plugged and filled with fluid before leaving the factory.
This fluid requires no maintenance.
As soon as the appliance is switched on, you will notice certain differences compared to a standard electric heating system:
- the electric heating element heats the fluid, which gradually and naturally starts circulating in your appliance.
- the properties of the fluid are such that it takes approximately ten minutes for the radiator to reach its optimum surface temperature
depending on the model and the room temperature when the appliance is switched on.
- this principle also ensures consistent and sustained heating even when the element is no longer powered.

The flexible cable supplied with your appliance is designed to be connected to the mains via a junction box that must be placed
behind the appliance.
In a kitchen or bathroom, the junction box must be positioned at least 25cm from the floor.
The appliance must be installed as described in this document and in accordance with the applicable European and local standards
as well as the rules of good professional practice.
The example shown only concerns a bathtub. For other bathroom fixtures please consult your installer.
The system must be fitted with an omni-polar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3mm.
To ensure your system is safe:
- ensure that an area of at least 50cm in front of the appliance is clear of objects which might hinder air circulation
(furniture, chairs etc.);
- position a shelf at least 10cm above the top of your radiator;
- use mounting screws suitable for your wall.
Electric towel radiators are designed to be covered safely. However, to ensure that your appliance works efficiently, you are
advised not to cover it completely. Doing so will increase the temperature and cause the internal cutout to turn off the appliance.
Always turn off the electricity supply (circuit-braker or remove the fuse before making any connections
