CAUTION
1. HOT Surfaces, avoid contact with bare skin.
2. The heated towel rail (HTR) is intended for indoor use only.
3. The temperature of the individual rails of the HTR will increase when covered, AVOID touching the covered rails as the increase in rail
temperature may cause a minor contact burn.

Reduce the temperature accordingly using the PTSelect Switch or TDC Timer (whichever is applicable).
5. Piling multiple towels on top of each other increases the risk of towel discoloration due to heat.
6. DO NOT place this appliance inside a shower, sauna, steam room or wherever the product would be exposed to direct constant water jets.

4a. Using your Heated Towel Rail: Controllers
Bathroom Butler HTRs are offered with 2 different Controller options. Depending upon which specific model you
have purchased, either one of the controller information below will be applicable to your product.
PTSelect Switch TDC Timer
PTSelect Switch allows you to switch the HTR ON and OFF as
well as adjust the temperature.
To increase the temperature, turn the dial to the right. To
decrease the temperature, turn the dial to the left. To switch off,
keep turning the dial to the left until you hear an audible click.
When the HTR is on, the PTSelect Switch is illuminated by a red
light. This red light flashes, depending upon the heat level
chosen. The longer the red light glows, the warmer the heated
towel rail will be.
TDC Timer allows you to program the HTR to switch ON and
OFF automatically, therefore saving electricity. You can also
adjust the temperature of the HTR using the TDC Timer.
For further details of how to program the TDC Timer and
information of the other functions, please read the TDC Timer
manual supplied separately.

4b. Using your Heated Towel Rail: Dry Element Technology
The main purpose of an HTR is to dry your towels, which will also add some warmth to your towels at the same time. Bathroom Butler HTRs
have the added benefit of user temperature adjustment, allowing the temperature to be increased or decreased to your individual preference.
This feature is especially useful in making Bathroom Butler HTRs effective in both summer and winter conditions.
The Bathroom Butler HTR has been designed to operate 24/7, which means you can leave your HTR on all day long. However, leaving the
HTR switched on permanently uses unnecessary electricity because, in most cases, your towels will be completely dry within 4 hours of being
hung, depending upon humidity levels and how wet your towel was originally.
Bathroom Butler uses Dry Element Technology (DET) and thanks to the benefit of Rapid Heating, which allows the unit to heat up to working
temperature within a mere 10 to 15minutes, its HTRs can be easily switched ON and OFF without further increasing the electricity consumption.
In order to save as much electricity as possible, the heating element is thread through the shortest path inside the bars of the HTR, which
means that the left-hand post will always be cool to the touch. Don’t be surprised when you find the temperature of the HTR under the towel
is higher than the exposed surfaces. This is called Direct Intelligent Heating, and it means that smaller wattage heating elements can be used,
thereby saving electricity, but still ensuring that your towels are dried effectively.
4b. Using your Heated Towel Rail: Folding your towels
To ensure that your towels are dried efficiently and effectively, it is important to fold your towels into 4 layers. Just draping your towel over the
HTR is ineffective and will prevent your towel from drying. It is also not advisable for there to be more than 4 layers of towelling on any one bar,
as it will be very difficult for the heat to penetrate beyond the 4 layers.
To fold your towel in to 4 layers is simple – just fold it in half and then in half again. Now hang the towel over the HTR. When the towel is
hung over the HTR, it is recommended that the bottom end of the towel should not extend more than 150mm below the bottom bar.
4b. Using your Heated Towel Rail: Cleaning and Maintenance
Bathroom Butler HTRs are made from GRADE 304 Stainless Steel and should be cleaned regularly with a warm damp cloth, and then buffed
dry with a clean dry cloth. Do not use the rough end of a kitchen sponge to clean your HTR. To remove any small blemishes or fine scratches,
use a metal polish. Remember to switch the HTR off and leave it to cool for 15 minutes before cleaning.
DO NOT clean your HTR with any kind of ACID BASED CHEMICAL, TILE CLEANER or detergents that contain chlorine, as this may
contaminate and damage the surface finish of the HTR.
There is no maintenance required on your Bathroom Butler HTR.
Every member of the Bathroom Butler team would like to sincerely thank you for purchasing this HTR, and would like to wish you
many days of dry, cosy towels ahead!
