3-2 | Fitting the element
Full instructions for fitting the element can be found within the element manual. The
user must ensure installation is in accordance with the following:
• The element must be fitted at the bottom right side of the towel rail (Figure 1).
• The heating element must not be connected to the electric supply until it is
secured inside the towel rail, correctly orientated, and the towel rail has been
fixed to the wall.
• The towel rail is filled with an anti-freezing liquid exactly to the level required by
the element. Ensure that no liquid is lost during installation.
Please be aware: the element is inserted horizontally into the towel rail. The control
panel of the element is universal and designed for use in a variety of products,
whether mounted on the left side, right side or vertically. As such the screen will be
horizontal in some products.
3-3 | Wall mounting
1. Choose a mounting location. For this, read the heating element’s manual to
ensure the minimum mounting distances from surrounding objects are respected.
Then, check the wall type.
The fixings supplied are suitable for use in solid masonry. For any other wall type
you will need to source appropriate fixings. If fitting to a plasterboard wall, either
fit directly to the wooden struts or otherwise strengthen the wall; do not fix through
plasterboard alone.

3-4 | Connecting the element
Wiring the heating element to the mains is a job for a qualified electrician. Please
consult the element manual for full instructions and safety warnings, paying special
consideration to the following:
• The towel rail and its element are designed to be used under AC 230
voltage and should be connected to the household fixed wiring by a
qualified electrician in accordance with national wiring regulations. Risk
of electric shock.
• Do not install the towel rail under or in front of a power socket or connector box.
• The power lead must be connected to a socket which must be at least 25cm from
the floor. Do not connect the element to the power supply until it is secured within
the towel rail and correctly orientated, as demonstrated in Figure 1.
Ensure the towel rail is cool before attempting cleaning.
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will keep the surface of your product looking
new. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners as these will damage the finish over
time.
4-1 | Bleeding the towel rail
If the hanging rail of the towel rail is failing to heat, there may be an excessive build
up of air inside the towel rail. In this case, carefully bleed the towel rail using the below
instructions:
1. Allow the towel rail to heat for 30 minutes.
2. Slot a screwdriver into the air vent and unscrew to allow the air vapour to escape.
3. Continue until the top bar warms or until liquid begins to leak from the air vent.
4. Screw the air vent closed.
Collect any leaked fluid and dispose of it.
