Operating Instructions

When off, the Power LED will be blue.

To turn the unit on, press the Power button and release it. The LED will turn red, and the orange LED bank will show between one and five LEDs.

To change the surface temperature, press the Temperature Increase or Temperature Decrease buttons the required number of times. Each of the orange LEDs represents the following output from the element, expressed as a percentage of the units total output:

5 lights—100% 4 lights—85% 3 lights—70% 2 lights—55% 1 light—40%

To turn the unit off, press the Power button and release. The controller has memory that will remember the power level selected and resume operation at this power when the unit is next turned on.

Eco function

Press the Eco button; the Power LED will turn green.

This function allows you to dry towels by using a higher power function for 30 minutes, and then a lower level for 90 minutes. The temperature for the two settings can be selected during their operation by pressing the Temperature Increase or Temperature Decrease buttons the required number of times. These power levels will be remembered by the unit for future operation.

After the two hours of operation the towel rail will turn off automatically, and the Power LED will turn blue. This function allows you to dry a towel without having to remember to turn off the rail afterwards, helping to save energy.
