INTRODUCTION

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Carefully unpack your towel warmer and ensure all pieces are included for a successful installation.

Watch our videos online at www.warmup.com or access the online technical information at warmupedia.warmup.com.

Contact Warmup with any questions on the contents of your order. Check the resistance of the heating cable coming from
the towel warmer with an ohm-meter or Warmup’s Alligator Tester.

Check the chart below and ensure your reading is within 10% of the approved resistance reading.

Warmup Towel Warmers were designed and built with simplicity in mind. Constructed of high quality 304 stainless steel
expertly welded in unique designs, Warmup towel warmers are safe and easy to use.

While most of our models require hard-wiring to a power source (except plug-in models) they do not require a control.
Our proprietary heating technology inside the towel warmer will ensure the device reaches 145F degrees in 3 minutes.

If your goal is to get the comfort of a nice warm towel after the bath or shower, then wire it to your light switch. By the
time you’re done, your towel will be wonderfully warm.

If the plan is to dry the towels faster in an active household or prevent the discomfort of moldy towels in a poorly ventilated
space, then wire it to a separate switch which you can leave on separately from the lights or fan.

When combining a towel warmer to a Warmup oor heating system you can conveniently connect the device to your 3iE or 4iE
controller. Double check the amperage draw of the existing system before combining both on the same controller. If unsure,
contact a professional installer/electrician, or call us at [phone].

Mounting the towel warmer is very simple with the enclosed instructions. Make sure to read this manual for the do’s and

dont’s and solicit the help of qualied tradesmen when necessary.

We thank you for your purchase. Say hello to a life of pampering and luxury!

How do I check the resistance?

Visit our website warmupedia.warmup.com for detailed
instructions. If you own an ohmmeter, it’s pretty simple.
Set your meter to 200 ohms and put needles or clips on
each conductor, to measure the resistance from one to
the other.

CODE REQUIREMENTS

DO’S, DONT’S AND SAFETY INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL

• Use this appliance only with the voltage specied on the rating label.

• Electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician.

• Make sure the supply cord never touches heated surfaces. If the electrical cord or connection is damaged DO NOT

attempt to repair; please contact the supplier.

• Do not install towel rails in areas which may be subjected to saturation of water resulting in ingress of moisture.
It is recommended that all units are protected via a GFCI circuit. The GFCI can be included on your breaker at the panel, or

built into the thermostat like the Warmup 3iE and 4iE thermostats.

As with any electrical appliance, you should be aware of basic safety precautions when using this heated towel warmer.

Please read these instructions, and le them for future reference:

• Because this appliance gets hot, young children and impaired people or persons with disabilities should be supervised

when nearby. Do not let children treat the towel rail as a toy.

• Do not hang excessive loads from the towel warmer rails. While securely anchored to the wall when properly installed,
it is not intended to replace or serve as a grab bar.

• The towel warmer should NOT be used for anything other than its intended use of warming up and drying bathroom
towels.

• Occasionally wipe down your towel warmer from time to time with a damp cloth and/or a stainless steel cleaner. Do
not use any abrasives or corrosive cleaners.

• Be aware that the towel rail will get slightly hotter than normal during warmer weather and when insulated by towels.

• Do not put the towels, or anything else which has been in contact with hazardous liquids, on this towel rail.

• Do not immerse the towel rail in any liquid.

• Please note that this appliance must be installed as prescribed by the relevant wiring rules and regulations, including the

regulations covering installation of appliances and accessories in ‘wet areas’ such as bathrooms, showers and laundries.

Installations should be in accordance with National and Local Electrical Codes applicable in both the US and CANADA.

• In plain words, make sure that all wiring connections are done safely and according to code. Check with a professional
electrician if unsure. Some areas require rigid or exible conduit. Most areas require all connections to be made in an

approved electrical box. Again, follow the instructions and hire licensed help where required to comply with your local
regulations.

Note:

• This appliance requires a connection to ground

• An accessible all pole disconnection switch is required in the xed wiring

• The heated towel warmer should be mounted vertically with the cord exiting from the base; it should be positioned

at least 600mm/2 feet above the oor.

TOWEL WARMER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

required by code.

Align left side to studs

POSITIONING YOUR TOWEL WARMER

MOUNTING YOUR TOWEL WARMER

Do note that all models will have the power cord exiting on the bottom right bracket (when facing the towel warmer
mounted on the wall). Plan accordingly when setting up switches and electrical rough-in.

Select a desired position to mount the towel rail i.e. at least 600mm/2 feet

above the oor and 300mm/1 foot away from all permanent xtures in the

surrounding area (toilet, vanity, etc).

The left side of your towel warmer most be anchored into a stud. Use a

stud-nder tool to locate the 2x4 behind your drywall and mark it with a

pencil. Hold your towel warmer level at the desired height and line it up
with the stud on the left hand side.

Using a pencil, draw around the end of each tube to mark their positions
on the wall. Make sure your marks are level and square as these will
determine where you will secure the device to the wall.

Screenshot of the Youtube video “Installing a Warmup Towel Warmer - 5 Contractors Tips by Warmup”.

Screw the mounting inserts securely to the wall at the locations marked. Press the towel warmer onto the mounting inserts
gradually, checking that each leg is lined up with the mounting inserts before applying force. Mount the towel warmer with a
single grub screw on each of the 4 brackets.
