FAQs
Do I need a thermostat for this towel rail?
The heating element is self-regulating, meaning it controls its own temperature. However, you can connect an external thermostat for more precise temperature control if desired. This should be installed by a qualified electrician.
What does 'pre-filled with glycol' mean for me?
The glycol solution inside the rail helps to prevent noise, rust, and limescale buildup, ensuring the towel rail operates quietly and efficiently, and extends its lifespan.
Can I install this myself?
While mounting the rail itself can be done with provided fixings, the electrical hard-wiring of the heating element *must* be carried out by a trained and qualified electrician for safety and compliance.
Is the dark brushed brass finish difficult to maintain?
The finish is designed to be durable. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive materials. Periodically check cleaning advice for specific brushed metal finishes.
What is the IP64 rating?
An IP64 rating means the heating element is protected against solid objects over 1mm in size and protected against water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for installation in most bathroom areas, including near showers.
What are the dimensions of this towel rail?
The dimensions of the Milano Elizabeth Heated Towel Rail are 930mm in height, 620mm in width, and 155mm in depth.
What is the wattage of the heating element?
The heating element is a 600W Rotfil heating element.
Troubleshooting
