INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Electrical Power Supply
A qualified electrician must carry out the electrical installation of this radiator. The electrical installation
must comply with current UK regulations. Any claim on the warranty could be invalid if these
requirements have not been met.
The radiator requires a 230/240V 50/60Hz power supply.
Connecting wires:
�Brown: Live
�Blue: Neutral
NOTE: The towel rail does not require an earth wire.
The connecting wires must be of the appropriate section, in regards to the length of cable, type of cable
and power rating of the apparatus.
The apparatus must be connected into a connecting box. According to regulations, the apparatus must
be connected to the power supply by means of an all-pole circuit breaker with a contact gap of at least
3mm or by a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker.
Location Of Towel Radiator
WARNING: To avoid risks to very young children this appliance must be installed with the lowest heated
rail at least 600mm above the floor.
It is essential to mount the towel radiator with the control box on the lower right hand side.
In bathrooms, the radiators must not be sited inside the protected area. The control unit switches must
not be reachable, directly or indirectly, by a person in the bath or shower.
The radiator, under no circumstances, should be installed below an electric power point.
Mounting The Towel Radiator
The components for fastening the Towel Radiator to a wall are supplied in a bag together with the
appliance. There are four support assemblies, each consisting of the following components:
(A) 1 plastic tube Ø28 x 65mm + screw M-5(H)
(B) 1 plastic tube Ø20 x 55mm with threaded inserts
(C) 1 screw Ø10 x 40mm
(D) 1 plastic retainer
(E) 1 plastic cap
(F) 1 screw Ø3 x 45mm
The towel radiator is fixed to the wall by four support assemblies. Two support assemblies should be
positioned between the 2nd and 3rd horizontal tubes from the top and two between the 2nd and 3rd
horizontal tubes from the bottom. At each level the supports should be spaced so that they are close to
the vertical tubes at each end.

First position the four support assemblies on the towel rail. Locate component (B) in a support position
between the tubes from the back of the towel radiator and hold it in position by attaching the retaining
component (D) from the front using screw (C). Repeat this in all four support positions.
Now lift the towel radiator onto the wall in the desired location and press against the wall, check that it is
level and then mark the position of the four supports. Remove the towel radiator and then drill and plug
the wall for the M-5(H) fixing screws.
Screw all four components (A) to the wall ensuring that the hole for the screw (F) is at the top (see Step
1). Then insert components (B) into components (A) and insert the screws (F) (see Step 2). Do not
tighten these screws at this stage.
Lift towel radiator onto the supports and secure it there by screwing the retaining components (D) back
onto components (B) using screws (C) (see Step 3). Now push the plastic caps (E) onto components
(D) (see Step 4).
Check that the towel radiator is in a perfectly vertical position and tighten the screws (F).
