To change an element from one side to the other, or to replace an old element is a very simple process.
There are Four Basic S teps:
1. Remove towel rail from brackets (if already installed), and slip o Hard Wire Attachments.
2. Turn the towel rail upside down and with a spanner loosen the hex nut of the electric element.
When the element is loose, unscrew it by hand. If you are changing the element from left to right
or vise versa, the internal plug on the opposite side must also be removed and swapped over wth
the element.
3. Swap the element and screw in place. Reattach hard wire pieces.
4. Turn the towel rail the right way up, position back into brackets and ret grub screws to secure.
Please note:
Hydrotherm advise that the unit be removed from the wall and turned upside down to ensure that water does
not spill. Ensure element always remains at bottom of towel rail
