5. Installation / Setup

This Duravit Towel Rail model UV9959 is designed for undermount installation, typically beneath a bathroom console or countertop. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Determine Mounting Location: Identify the desired position beneath your console or countertop. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for towels and that the location is accessible for installation. The rail is approximately 550mm in length.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the towel rail in the desired position or use the provided installation template. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the mounting screws. Ensure the marks are level using a spirit level.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit appropriate for your mounting surface (wood, drywall with anchors, etc.) and the provided hardware, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If installing into drywall, insert wall anchors as per their instructions.
4. Attach Towel Rail: Align the mounting holes on the towel rail with the drilled pilot holes. Insert the screws through the towel rail's mounting points and into the pilot holes/anchors.
5. Secure the Rail: Tighten the screws firmly but do not overtighten. Ensure the towel rail is securely fastened and does not wobble.
6. Final Check: Gently pull on the installed towel rail to confirm its stability.

6. Operating Instructions

The Duravit Towel Rail UV9959 is designed for holding towels. Simply drape your towels over the rail. Avoid hanging excessively heavy items that could exceed the rail's weight capacity or compromise its mounting.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

To maintain the chrome finish and ensure the longevity of your Duravit Towel Rail, follow these cleaning guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
• Mild Soap: For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Drying: Always dry the towel rail immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain the chrome luster.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based products, or cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol, as these can damage the chrome finish.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your towel rail, refer to the following common solutions:

• Rail feels loose: Check the mounting screws. If they have loosened over time, gently tighten them. Do not overtighten. If the anchors are failing, consider using larger anchors or relocating the rail if possible.
• Scratches on finish: Minor scratches on chrome may sometimes be buffed out with a specialized chrome polish. For deeper scratches, the finish may be permanently damaged.
• Water spots: Ensure the rail is dried immediately after contact with water. For existing spots, use a soft cloth with a vinegar-water solution (1:1 ratio) and then rinse and dry.
