Installation Guide Towel Ladders – Heated (Concealed Wiring) Models: Form, Fluid, Base, Econ Version: 5.02 (AS/NZS 60335.2.4)
OVERVIEW Thank you for choosing AVENIR Bathroom Accessories and for supporting a 100% Australian designed and manufactured product. PLEASE TAKE NOTE: The installation procedure for Avenir products may be different from other products and may not be common knowledge. Please read this installation guide carefully. Experience has shown that most issues arise as a result of either our installation procedure not being followed or the supplied fixings not being used. Please use the supplied fixings as they have been carefully selected and tested to suit the application. Our warranty covers only manufacturing and workmanship defects, not application suitability or issues with installation.
AVENIR heated towel ladders are designed to suit stud walls with tiles or masonry walls. Non-masonry walls with no tiles will require a timber substrate directly behind each point where the ladder is fixed to the wall. In this case follow the procedure below, with the exception that no wall plugs are required. SAFETY This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. This appliance is rated IPX5 and can be installed zones 1, 2 or 3 in the bathroom. WARNING: For safety protection, this electrical appliance relies on the earth being connected to a residual current device. Please ensure this device is installed, connected and working. In order to avoid hazards for young children, this appliance should be installed so that the lowest rail is at least 600mm above the floor.
ELECTRICAL This appliance must be installed, serviced and maintained by a qualified electrician and MUST be earthed. An isolating switch/timer should be installed by the electrician, in a position near the heated towel ladder. The heated towel ladder will include two meters of electrical cable. The location of the isolation switch/timer must be within this distance from the cable entry position of the heated towel ladder (through the bottom left or right leg - as selected at the time of purchase). The length of the heated towel ladder cable may be extended by the electrician in accordance with the appropriate wiring regulations. PRE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS – In-Wall Kit (TLCF) •
Provision must be made for an isolating switch box and timer with a 20mm conduit to the heated towel ladder location. The distance between the two should be less than 2 meters.
•
Install the supplied elbow and fixing socket behind the wall surface with the fixing socket protruding through the wall surface. The wall lining (and tiles) will require a 16mm hole to accommodate the fixing socket. Please note the fixing socket is made from PVC and can be glued into the elbow using standard PVC pipe cement.
•
•
Provision must be made for a draw wire from the isolating switch box, through the 20mm conduit and elbow and should exit the wall through the fixing socket. This will be used later to draw the 2-meter wire, supplied as part of the heated towel ladder, through to the isolating switch box and timer. For masonry wall installation, provision must be made for a cavity in the masonry to accommodate the in-wall structure as described above.
