General

Your Dimplex permanently liquid-filled electric towel rail has been designed to provide an all-the-year-round service for airing towels and articles of clothing. It is not intended to provide a sole heating service, but the larger models will take the chill off a normal size bathroom or toilet.

Your rail will be in one of three sizes and will have either a chromium plated or stove-enamel finish. The rail wattage has been carefully selected to ensure a suitable surface temperature is maintained during normal operation conditions. The towel rail has a sealed electrical element controlled by a pre-set thermostat which will switch off the rail should it overheat for any reason.

All models are splash proof.

Use

Your Dimplex liquid-filled electric towel rail can quite safely be left on continuously if desired without detrimental effect. When in use however no more than two layers of towelling or similar fabric should be draped over each rail. It is not advisable to leave very damp clothes or towels on the rail when it is not in use, as this may affect the finish.

The rail when in use, though hot to the touch, is not hot enough to scorch or burn towels or clothes. However, soap and detergents remaining in articles after washing can cause what appear to be scorch marks after being in contact with a hot rail. Care should be taken therefore to thoroughly rinse out all articles before airing.

Electrical

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

In accordance with wiring rules a suitable means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

This heater must be used on an AC \~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage.

Do not switch the appliance on until properly installed. Please read all the safety warnings and operating instructions.

If fitted in a room containing a bath or shower, to comply with the current I.E.E. Regulations, a cable outlet will be necessary with the supply to the heater controlled by a double-pole pull-cord switch having a contact separation of 3mm in each pole. The body of the switch should be situated as to be normally inaccessible to a person using a bath or shower.

Installation

The towel rail must be permanently fitted to the wall.

The towel rail must be mounted so that the top rail is horizontal and at least 50mm below any overhanging surface - see Fig. 1.

Wall mounting

The Wall mounting accessory pack (see Fig. 3) contains:

(a) 4 mounting straps
(b) 4 screws (M4 x 10)
(c) 4 wall mounting brackets
(d) 4 locator pins

Procedure for fixing Wall Brackets

Step 1

Using Dim. X and Dim. Y as a guide for the wall bracket fixing dimensions - see Fig. 2, mark the hole positions for the four fixing brackets and drill and plug the wall to suit.

Note: Allow enough room above and below for the clearance stated. Screw the four fixing brackets securely to the wall - see Fig. 2.

Step 2

Place carefully around the upright bars the 4 mounting straps at the position shown - see Fig. 2. (Note the straps must be positioned up tight to the cross bar as indicated) Securely fix them by screwing in place fully the M4 x 10mm screw. Ensure the brackets are fitted with the rear of the straps facing directly backwards.

Step 3

Place the towel rail straps into the wall mounted brackets, secure them with the locater pins by inserting it and giving it a quarter turn - see Fig. 3. Check the four brackets and towel rail are fitting horizontal. If not go back to step 2. The straps can be repositioned to ensure that the towel rail is horizontal when fitted to your wall. If the towel rail cross rails are not level, loosen both straps on either left or right hand upright bar. Lower the two straps and raise up the towel rail until it is horizontal, then secure as indicated in step 2 and 3.

Cleaning

The finish on your towel rail can be maintained by occasionally wiping over with a damp cloth and lightly finishing with a soft dry cloth. This should only be carried out when the rail is cold. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders as this could damage the surface finish.
