General

  • The TRM towel rail is designed to provide an all year round service for airing towels and articles of clothing. It is not intended to provide a sole heating service, but the larger model will take the chill off an average size bathroom, lavatory or en suite.
  • Covering the rail may affect the room temperature sensor and therefore impact the room temperature control accuracy.
  • Heat will be distributed along each of the rails.
  • Some variation in the temperature across the surface of the rail is normal. When the appliance is covered the heating pattern of the rails may alter, and generally temperatures at the upper part of that rail will rise.
  • No routine maintenance is necessary apart from occasional cleaning.
  • All models are splash proof to IPX5 standard.

Drying and Airing Towels

  • It is recommended that for efficient drying, no more than two layers of towels or similar fabric should be draped over the rail. Items should be placed evenly over the whole surface of the rail where possible.
  • It is not advisable to leave very damp towels or clothes on the towel rail when not in use, as this may in time, affect the paint finish.
  • The rail, although hot to the touch is not hot enough to scorch or burn fabrics. However, soap and detergents remaining in articles after washing can cause discolouration. Therefore care should be taken to thoroughly rinse articles before airing.

Electrical

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The electrical installation of this towel rail must be carried out by a competent electrician in accordance with the current I.E.T Regulations for Electrical Equipment. The towel rail is suitable for use on an A.C.~ electrical supply. Before installation check that the supply voltage corresponds with that marked on the rail.

IMPORTANT – The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: GREEN and YELLOW – EARTH

  • BLUE – NEUTRAL
  • BROWN – LIVE

This appliance must only be used on A.C. mains supply of 230/240 Volts~.
In accordance with wiring rules a suitable means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Wall Mounting

IMPORTANT – The wall bracket kit supplied with the rail must be used and the rail must be installed in the correct orientation. The fixings should be used to secure the bracket to the particular wall on which the heater will be installed. The heater should be positioned observing the minimum clearances stated around the heater – see Fig. 1.

The wall mounting accessory pack contains:

  • 4 sets of inner (a) & outer (b) mounting collars,
  • 4 sets of inner (c) and outer (d) clamping pieces, clamping screws (e), collar fixing screw (f), end cap (g).
  • 4 sets of wall plugs, wall fixing screws and washer (d) 4 depth adjusting screws.

Installation

If fitted in a room containing a bath or shower, to comply with the current I.E.T. Regulations, a cable outlet will be necessary with the supply to the heater controlled by a double-pole 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. Alternatively the switch can be located outside of the bathroom.

IMPORTANT – Protect the electrical connection whilst handling the towel rail.

The towel rail must be permanently fixed to the wall using the wall brackets supplied. The rail must be mounted vertically as shown observing the minimum clearances stated.

WARNING: The towel rail is heavy. Do not remove without seeking specialist advice.

Installation Procedure

Temperature Calibration
In some circumstances, there may be a gap between the display of the device and that of a thermometer. If this difference is greater than +/- 0.5°C, it is possible to calibrate the heater.

Operating mode:
To compare the temperature displayed by the radiator with that indicated by a thermometer, you must:

  • ensure that the instructions in the installation instructions, in particular positioning and minimum distances, are respected,
  • close all exterior openings of the accommodation as well as the interior door(s) of the room heated by the radiator,
  • place your thermometer in the center of the room at a height of approximately 1.2m, do not place it on furniture,
  • put the radiator in manual COMFORT mode,
  • check that your setpoint is set between 17 and 23°C,
  • wait for the thermal stabilization of the room (around 6 hours) and avoid coming and going in the room as much as possible,
  • ensure that the temperature displayed on the radiator and that on the thermometer are stable.

This adjustment can only be made if the above conditions are respected.
With the thermostat in COMFORT mode, press MODE for 3 seconds, two cases may arise:

  1. The set temperature flashes, calibration is then possible.
    • Display the temperature indicated by your thermometer with the up and down buttons.
    • Save using the MODE button.
  2. The display indicates “NO”: calibration is not possible (you must then wait for the temperature to stabilise).

NOTE:
If the up and down buttons are not pressed within for 15 seconds, the display returns to the homescreen.
