Multi Bar Towel Warmer Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Forme Towel Warmers were designed and built with simplicity in mind. Constructed of high quality 304
stainless steel expertly welded in unique designs, Forme towel warmers are safe and easy to use.
While most of our models require hard-wiring to a power source (except plug-in models) they do not require
a control. Our proprietary heating technology inside the towel warmer will ensure the device reaches 145°F
degrees in 3 minutes.
If your goal is to get the comfort of a nice warm towel after the bath or shower, then wire it to your light
switch. By the time you’re done, your towel will be wonderfully warm.
If the plan is to dry the towels faster in an active household or prevent the discomfort of moldy towels in a
poorly ventilated space, then wire it to a separate switch which you can leave on separately from the lights or fan.
Mounting the towel warmer is very simple with the enclosed instructions. Make sure to read this manual for
the do’s and dont’s and solicit the help of qualified tradesmen when necessary.
Carefully unpack your towel warmer and ensure all pieces are included for a successful installation.
Contact Forme Agents FTR Products with any questions on the contents of your order. An electrical tradesman needs
to check the resistance and continuity of the heating cable coming from the towel warmer with an ohm-meter.
Check the chart below and ensure your reading is within 10% of the approved resistance reading.

CODE REQUIREMENTS
DO’S, DONT’S AND SAFETY INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL
•
• Electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician.
• Make sure the supply cord never touches heated surfaces. If the electrical cord or connection is damaged DO NOT
attempt to repair; please contact the supplier.
• Do not install towel rails in areas which may be subjected to saturation of water resulting in ingress of moisture.
It is recommended that all units are protected via a GFCI circuit. The GFCI can be included on your breaker at the panel, or
built into the thermostat.
As with any electrical appliance, you should be aware of basic safety precautions when using this heated towel warmer.
• Because this appliance gets hot, young children and impaired people or persons with disabilities should be supervised
when nearby. Do not let children treat the towel rail as a toy.
• Do not hang excessive loads from the towel warmer rails. While securely anchored to the wall when properly installed,
it is not intended to replace or serve as a grab bar.
• The towel warmer should NOT be used for anything other than its intended use of warming up and drying bathroom
towels.
• Occasionally wipe down your towel warmer from time to time with a damp cloth and/or a stainless steel cleaner.
Do not use any abrasives or corrosive cleaners.
• Be aware that the towel rail will get slightly hotter than normal during warmer weather and when insulated by towels.
• Do not put the towels, or anything else which has been in contact with hazardous liquids, on this towel rail.
• Do not immerse the towel rail in any liquid.
• Please note that this appliance must be installed as prescribed by the relevant wiring rules and regulations, including the
regulations covering installation of appliances and accessories in ‘wet areas’ such as bathrooms, showers and laundries.
Installations should be in accordance with National and Local Electrical Codes applicable in both the US and CANADA.
• In plain words, make sure that all wiring connections are done safely and according to code. Check with a professional
approved electrical box. Again, follow the instructions and hire licensed help where required to comply with your local
regulations.
• This appliance requires a connection to ground
• The heated towel warmer should be mounted vertically with the cord exiting from the base; it should be positioned
Apply junction box if
required by code.

Align left side to studs
POSITIONING YOUR TOWEL WARMER
MOUNTING YOUR TOWEL WARMER
Do note that all models will have the power cord exiting on the bottom right bracket (when facing the towel
warmer mounted on the wall). Plan accordingly when setting up switches and electrical rough-in.
Select a desired position to mount the towel rail i.e. at least 600mm/2 feet above the floor and 300mm/1 foot
away from all permanent fixtures in the surrounding area (toilet, vanity, etc).
The left side of your towel warmer must be anchored into a stud. Use a stud-finder tool to locate the 2x4 behind
your drywall and mark it with a pencil. Hold your towel warmer level at the desired height and line it up with the
stud on the left hand side.
Using a pencil, draw around the end of each tube to mark their positions on the wall. Make sure your marks are
level and square as these will determine where you will secure the device to the wall.
Screw the mounting inserts securely to the wall at the locations marked. Press the towel warmer onto the
mounting inserts gradually, checking that each leg is lined up with the mounting inserts before applying force.
Mount the towel warmer with a single grub screw on each of the 4 brackets.

2. Ensure you have a code compliant connection between the mushroom anchor and your electrical connection in the J-box.
3. Determine the other 3 anchor points and secure the wall anchors accordingly.
4. You must ensure that the left side of the towel warmer is secured to wood or metal studs or a structural element.
5. Your lead wire is 6ft long (except models TW001 and TW002 where it is 3ft). You can trim it to your needs leaving no less than
12” outside of the towel warmer.
6. Remove the cover plate from the lower right hand bracket.

CONCEALED CORD ENTRY WITH REMOTE J-BOX
If you choose to locate the J-box elsewhere than at the recommended bottom right of the towel warmer, follow the instructions
below. You can also wire it directly into the switch box where you control your towel warmer. Please ensure you comply to all local
and national code requirements in regards to line voltage wire in conduit. State and local regulations vary (flex conduit, rigid
conduit or neither) and must be respected to avoid electrical hazards.
1. Refer to the “Mounting your towel Warmer” section to identify exact location of the brackets.
2. The lower right bracket of your towel warmer will come supplied with a box cover plate that covers a standard 2x4 “single
gang” electrical box.
3.
a) Always ensure the power is turned off at the breaker box to avoid electrical shock.
b) You can trim the power cord to your needs leaving no less than 12” exiting the towel warmer.
c) Upon secure connection to the line voltage, mount the towel warmer to the brackets and secure by tightening the grub
screws underneath each bracket.
CONCEALED CORD ENTRY WITH ATTACHED J-BOX
b) If your electrical box is not yet roughed-in, mark the space of the cover plate on the wall to determine the exact location.
a) If your electrical box is already installed and supplied by the electrician, use that as the main point to determine
where the other 3 brackets will fall. You must ensure that the left side of the towel warmer is secured to wood or
metal studs or a structural element.
