General

Your Dimplex electric towel rail has been designed to provide a 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 chrome plated or stove-

enamel nish. 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 water proof to IPX5.

Use

Your Dimplex 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 nish.

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 regulations a suitable means for disconnection

must be incorporated in the xed 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 tted 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.

The product complies with the European Safety Standards EN60335-2-46 and the European Standard Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) EN55014, EN60555-2 and

EN60555-3 These cover the essential requirements of EEC Directives 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC

Installation

The towel rail must be permanently tted 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 xing wall brackets

Step 1

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

wall to suit.
Note: Allow enough room above and below for the clearance stated. Screw the

four xing brackets securely to the wall - see Fig. 2.
Step 2

Place carefully around the upright bars the four mounting straps at the position
shown - see Fig. 2. (Note the straps must be positioned up tight to the cross bar as

indicated). Securely x them by screwing in place fully the M4 x 10mm screw. Ensure
the brackets are tted 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 and giving a quarter turn - see Fig. 3. Check the four

brackets and towel rail are tting horizontally. If not go back to step 2. The straps
can be repositioned to ensure that the towel rail is horizontal when tted 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 nish on your towel rail can be maintained by occasionally wiping over with
a damp cloth and lightly nishing 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 nish.
