PLEASE ENSURE YOU TAKE NOTE OF THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL.
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed.

▪This appliance is intended to warm and dry towels and therefore is hot to the touch. When
used by or near young children or infirm persons, close supervision is necessary.
▪Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
▪Any rise in ambient temperature is directly reflected in the appliance, and as a result of
this, the appliance will feel hotter to the touch during warmer periods. Also the insulation
effect of towels will cause the operating temperature to increase slightly.
▪The towel rail is to be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a
person in the bath or shower.
▪To avoid a hazard this heated towel rail MUST NOT be used to carry towels or any other
articles that have been in contact with oil, petroleum based products or dry cleaning fluids.
▪Use this appliance only with the voltage specified on the rating label, or elsewhere in these
instructions.
▪Regulations require that electrical work be carried out only by authorised persons. For your
own safety and that of others ensure this is done.
▪DO NOT immerse in any liquid.
▪For service contact your nearest Authorised Service Agent.
▪WARNING:In order to avoid a hazard for young children, this appliance must be installed so
that the bottom rail is at least 600mm above the floor.

recommended. Plasterboard in particular will not hold long term.
WALL PREPARATION
•Goldair Heated Towel Rails may be fixed to any type of timber stud, steel stud or
masonry (solid or cavity) wall.
•Walls made from timber or steel require studs at the correct position for all rails. If
the precise position can’t be determined early in the job, consider sheets of 18mm
construction ply, covering a larger area.
•This rail has a small footprint against the wall. The wire holes and mounting holes
must be drilled neatly and accurately.
•For drilling through hard materials such as porcelain tiles, marble, granite etc. an
appropriate drill bit must be used.
•No responsibility will be taken by Goldair for instances where installers drill
incorrectly.

WALL MOUNTED MODELS: GTRM AND GTRL
•Choose a suitable position on the wall to mount the Heated Towel Rail. The flex entry can
be either on the left or right hand side but it must be horizontal and at the bottom of the
frame.
•Fit the leg brackets and straps loosely to the frame, in the positions shown in figure 1.
•Place the Heated Towel Rail on a flat surface, check that all the leg brackets are sitting
parallel and then tighten the screws, enough to hold the brackets firmly against the
frame, without over tightening.
•Level up the top rail of the Heated Towel Rail and fasten to the wall with either the
screws provided or with suitable toggle bolts.
•Fit the screw caps to cover the screw holes in each of the leg brackets.
