FAQs

Does this towel rail use oil or water?

No, this unit uses dry heating technology, which contains no liquids, preventing the risk of leaks.

Can I install this myself?

We recommend professional installation for all electrical work to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations.

Is it safe to install near a shower?

Yes, the rail is IP67 splash-proof rated, making it suitable for use in bathroom wet zones.

How do I control the towel rail if I don't have WiFi?

You can operate the basic functions directly on the unit, though WiFi is required for advanced features like scheduling and remote app control.

Can I use voice commands?

Yes, the rail is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

What is the benefit of the stainless steel build?

Stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, and it conducts heat more effectively than standard steel, leading to better performance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Device is not connecting to the WiFi network

Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network, as the device may not support 5GHz frequencies. Reset the device and attempt pairing again via the app.

Towel rail is not heating up

Check that the unit is receiving power and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the device is not set to an 'Off' mode within the app.

Settings reset after a power outage

The unit features a memory function, but if settings are lost, ensure the internal battery/capacitor is not compromised by a faulty connection; if issues persist, consult a professional electrician.

  • Smart connectivity via app and voice assistants
  • Durable stainless steel finish resists rust and corrosion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This towel rail is designed for professional installation. It is critical that a qualified electrician handles the connection to the mains supply to maintain your warranty and ensure electrical safety. The unit supports both concealed wiring (behind the wall) and exposed wiring, and the cable can exit from either side, providing flexibility for your specific bathroom layout.

To keep the stainless steel in pristine condition, wipe it down occasionally with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish. Because the unit is IP67 rated, it is specifically built to withstand the moist conditions of a bathroom, but you should ensure the area behind the unit remains free of debris to allow for optimal heat dissipation.
