INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY

A qualied electrician must carry out the electrical installation of this radiator. The electrical installation must
comply with current UK regulations. Any claim on the warranty could be invalid if these requirements have
not been met.

The radiator requires a 230V 50Hz power supply.

Connecting wires:
Brown: Live
Blue (or grey): Neutral
Black: Pilot wire (if required for external programmer)

NOTE: The towel rail does not require an earth wire.

IF PILOT WIRE IS NOT REQUIRED INSULATE BLACK CABLE TO ENSURE IT DOES NOT COME INTO
CONTACT WITH ANY OTHERS WIRES OR TERMINALS.

The connecting wires must be of the appropriate section, in regards to the length of cable, type of cable and
power rating of the apparatus.
The apparatus must be connected into a connecting box. According to regulations, the apparatus must be
connected to the power supply by means of an all-pole circuit breaker with a contact gap of at least 3mm or
by a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker.

LOCATION OF TOWEL RADIATOR

WARNING: To avoid risks to very young children this appliance must be installed with the lowest heated rail
at least 600mm above the oor.
It is essential to mount the towel radiator with the control box on the lower right hand side.
In bathrooms, the radiators must not be sited inside the protected area. The control unit switches must not be
reachable, directly or indirectly, by a person in the bath or shower.
The radiator, under no circumstances, should be installed below an electric power point.

MOUNTING THE TOWEL RADIATOR

The components for fastening the Towel Radiator to a wall are supplied in a bag together with the appliance.
There are four support assemblies, each consisting of the following components:

(A) 1 plastic tube Ø31 x 51mm + screw Ø3(F)
(B) 1 plastic tube Ø22 x 51mm with threaded inserts
(C) 1 screw M6
(D) 1 plastic retainer (conic 15º)
(E) 1 plastic cap
(F) 1 screw Ø3 x 10mm
(G) 1 screw Ø6 x 50mm
(H) 1 nylon stopper Ø10mm

The towel radiator is xed to the wall by four support assemblies. Two support assemblies should be positioned
between the 2nd and 3rd horizontal tubes from the top and two between the 2nd and 3rd horizontal tubes
from the bottom. At each level the supports should be spaced so that they are next to the vertical tubes at
each end.
