Goldair PLATINUM GMT4 User manual

GMT Straight Square Towel Warmer
Operating Instructions
For Models: GMT4, GMT6, GMT8

When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
•Keep them handy for future reference.
•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.
•NOTE The surface temperature of your towel rail will be 20-25 degrees higher than the
ambient air temperature. Any rise in ambient air 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. Example, if the ambient air temperature is 20 degrees, this will mean the towel
rail surface will be approximately 40-50 degrees.
•The towel rail is to be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a
person in the bath or shower.
•DO NOT use this appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
•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.

Mounting:
Please note: Goldair advise that the towel rail should be installed by a professional.
Please read the safety information on the previous page carefully before mounting.
1.First, select which method of cord entry your installation situation requires –exposed or
concealed. (please see images below as an indication to the differences)
2.The accessory pack contains a set of 4 legs for your heated towel rail –one of which is a
universal leg
a) For a concealed cord entry, you require the additional plastic cover to conceal the cord
cutout as shown below.
Typically, a concealed cord entry is used for a new home or new bathroom installation where no
existing outlet is present
OR
b)For an exposed cord entry you require the addition of a cord grommet to the cord cutout.
Typically, an exposed cord entry is used for retro-fit installations where an existing permanent
connection outlet is already wired

Installation

3. You must next select which side of the towel rail is needed to be wired in. The heated towel
rail within this box has two wiring options (left or right hand). The location of existing wiring
through or on the wall will dictate which side you will use.
For Left hand wiring no change is required from how the rail comes out of the box.
Fix the leg over the looped wire (Picture A) and secure to the towel rail.
Now set the other Leg (C) either as exposed in internal wiring
For Right hand wiring, you must push feed (do not pull) cord through to the side with the loop.
Then shorten cable to the desired length for termination (Picture A,B)
You may need to remove some of the black sheath covering if doing exposed wiring (Picture C,D
with grommet included)
