Installation Instructions

Follow these steps for proper wall-mounted installation:

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable location on your bathroom wall, ensuring it is at a convenient height and clear of any obstructions.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Hold the towel bar or its mounting brackets against the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the screw hole positions with a pencil.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill and the appropriate drill bit size for your wall anchors (if applicable) or screws, carefully drill pilot holes at the marked positions.
4. Insert Wall Anchors: If drilling into drywall or hollow walls, insert the provided wall anchors into the pilot holes until they are flush with the wall surface. For wood studs, anchors may not be necessary.
5. Attach Mounting Brackets: Secure the mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure they are firmly attached and level.
6. Mount Towel Bar: Align the towel bar with the attached mounting brackets. Secure the towel bar to the brackets using the small set screws, typically located on the underside of the bar's base. Tighten these screws with a screwdriver until the bar is firm and does not wobble.
7. Conceal Screws: The ICO Bath V3135 features concealed screws for a clean appearance. Ensure all visible screws are covered by the design of the towel bar's escutcheons.

Operating Instructions

The ICO Bath V3135 Towel Bar is designed for straightforward use. Once securely installed, simply hang your towels over the bar. Ensure that the weight of the towels does not exceed the structural integrity of the wall or the mounting hardware. Avoid hanging excessively heavy items or using the bar as a support handle.

Maintenance

To maintain the finish and appearance of your ICO Bath V3135 Towel Bar, follow these cleaning guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and water spots.
• Mild Soap: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, harsh chemicals, or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the matte black finish.
• Avoid Wax or Polish: Do not apply wax or polish, as these can build up and dull the finish.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Towel bar feels loose after installation.

Solution: Check the set screws located on the underside of the towel bar's bases. Tighten them with a Phillips head screwdriver until the bar is secure. If the mounting brackets themselves are loose, carefully remove the towel bar and re-tighten the screws securing the brackets to the wall. Ensure wall anchors are properly seated if used.

Issue: Finish appears dull or scratched.

Solution: Ensure you are following the recommended cleaning instructions. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Minor dullness might be resolved with a gentle wipe using a soft, damp cloth. Deep scratches typically cannot be repaired and may require replacement.
