General
Your Dimplex permanently liquid-filled electric towel rail has been designed to
provide an all-the-year-round service for airing towels and articles of clothing. It
is not intended to provide a sole heating service, but the larger models will take the
chill off a normal size bathroom or toilet.
Your rail will be in one of three sizes and will have either a chromium plated or
stove-enamel finish. The rail wattage has been carefully selected to ensure a
suitable surface temperature is maintained during normal operation conditions.
The towel rail has a sealed electrical element controlled by a pre-set thermostat
which will switch off the rail should it overheat for any reason.
All models are splash proof.
Use
Your Dimplex liquid-filled electric towel rail can quite safely be left on continuously
if desired without detrimental effect. When in use however no more than two
layers of towelling or similar fabric should be draped over each rail. It is not
advisable to leave very damp clothes or towels on the rail when it is not in use, as
this may affect the finish.
The rail when in use, though hot to the touch, is not hot enough to scorch or burn
towels or clothes. However, soap and detergents remaining in articles after
washing can cause what appear to be scorch marks after being in contact with a
hot rail. Care should be taken therefore to thoroughly rinse out all articles before
airing.

The towel rail must be permanently fitted to the wall.
The towel rail must be mounted so that the top rail is horizontal and at least 50mm
below any overhanging surface - see Fig. 1.
Wall mounting

(a) 4 mounting straps
(b) 4 screws (M4 x 10)
(c) 4 wall mounting brackets
(d) 4 locator pins
Procedure for fixing Wall Brackets
Step 1
Using Dim. X and Dim. Y as a guide for the wall bracket fixing dimensions - see
Fig. 2, mark the hole positions for the four fixing brackets and drill and plug the
wall to suit.
Note: Allow enough room above and below for the clearance stated. Screw the
four fixing brackets securely to the wall - see Fig. 2.
Step 2
Place carefully around the upright bars the 4 mounting straps at the position
shown - see Fig. 2. (Note the straps must be positioned up tight to the cross bar
as indicated) Securely fix them by screwing in place fully the M4 x 10mm screw.
Ensure the brackets are fitted with the rear of the straps facing directly backwards.
Step 3
Place the towel rail straps into the wall mounted brackets, secure them with the
locater pins by inserting it and giving it a quarter turn - see Fig. 3. Check the four
brackets and towel rail are fitting horizontal. If not go back to step 2. The straps
can be repositioned to ensure that the towel rail is horizontal when fitted to your
wall. If the towel rail cross rails are not level, loosen both straps on either left or
right hand upright bar. Lower the two straps and raise up the towel rail until it is
horizontal, then secure as indicated in step 2 and 3.
Cleaning
The finish on your towel rail can be maintained by occasionally wiping over with a
damp cloth and lightly finishing with a soft dry cloth. This should only be carried
