HOMEOWNER:
__________________________________________
THANK YOU for selecting Mr.Steam Towel Warmer, the perfect
addition to bathrooms, family spas, and exercise rooms within
your home. Our products have long been a standard for quality
and comfort, and we are sure that you will experience contin-
ued enjoyment from the Towel Warmer you have purchased by
following these simple instructions.
TOWEL WARMERS ARE HOT! The Towel
Warmer is an electrical heating appliance, intended only for
indoor residential applications and, as such, should be
installed and used with certain precautions for your safety.
1. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR PERMANENTLY-WIRED
WALL-MOUNTED UNITS MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN STRICT ACCORD WITH
APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND LOCAL BUILDING AND
ELECTRICAL CODES.
2. DO NOT place TOWEL WARMER units inside a shower, sauna
or steam room enclosure or any other wet location or with
elevated temperatures.
3. CAUTION is advised when Towel Warmer is accessible to
children.
4. For the ultimate ease in use, a dedicated wall switch or
timer can be used to control the TOWEL WARMER unit.
Contact Mr.Steam for an in-wall 24-hour-7 day timer
(PN W-103588) Note: All switches and control devices must
be installed on the load (black) side of the Towel Warmer
circuit in compliance with the National Electric Code and
Local Codes. (see page 11 for installation instructions)
IMPORTANT: The finish of your Towel Warmer can be
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 cir-
cumstances should abrasive cleaning powders, metal polish or
chlorine-based cleaners be used on any part of this product.
IMPORTANT: This appliance is intended for towels washed
in water. Fabrics that contain soap or detergent residue may
show what appears to be scorch marks. However this is simply
the discoloration of the residue. The Towel Warmer unit does
not reach sufficient temperature to scorch fabric. We are not
responsible for discoloring or damage of any fabrics.
This picture shows the recommend
method of draping a towel on a towel
warmer. Ensure as much as possible of
the towel's surface is touching the
towel warmer to ensure fast even warm-
ing of the towel.
