vated temperature because the towel warmer may be an elec-
trocution hazard.
3. CAUTION is advised when a Towel Warmer is accessible to chil-
dren because the towel warmer is hot and represents a burn
hazard.

protected and maintained by an occasional wiping with a soft,
non-abrasive, damp cloth and lightly polished, thereafter, with a
soft dry cloth when the Towel Warmer is cold. Under no circum-
stances should abrasive cleaning powders, metal polish or chlo-
rine-based cleaners be used on any part of this product.
