STEP 4: OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING:
The finish of your Mr.Steam Towel Warmer can be
protected and maintained by an occasional wiping with a damp cloth
and lightly polished thereafter with a soft dry cloth. Under no
circumstances should abrasive cleaning powders or metal polish be
used on any part of a chrome or gold plated Towel Warmer.
A.Mounting:
1.
The Mr.Steam Towel Warmer has been designed with integral mount-
ing brackets. These will facilitate a permanent and secure mounting
of the Towel Warmer to the wall using the screws provided.
2.
Locate the brass inserts
according to the
following chart:
(All inlet/outlet pipes
are 18
1
/2" apart.)
3.
Slide a bracket escutcheon (with the 'O' ring facing the towel
warmer) on each of the mounting brackets.
4.
Slide the towel warmer on the brass inserts and tighten the set
screws on both brackets. Slide the escutcheons against the wall to
hide the joint.
5.
The recommended location for optional lower brackets is on the
bottom rung of the Towel Warmer, a sufficient header should be
provided for these brackets.
B. Valve Installation:
1.
Place a washer between the threaded portion of the valve and the
Towel Warmer union. carefully tighten the union to secure the valve
to the Towel Warmer.
2.
Slide the escutcheon onto the valve over the valve union.
3.
After the plumbing has been prepared as described place a washer
between the valve union and coupling. Carefully tighten the union to
connect the valve to the plumbing.
4.
Slide the escutcheon over the valve union to cover the inlet and out-
let plumbing.
IMPORTANT:
There are two valves which come with Mr.Steam Hydronic
Towel Warmers. One valve should always be left open, the other valve can
be opened or closed. These valves seal only in the fully open (turn valve
handle counter clockwise) or full closed (turn valve handle clockwise) posi-
tion. Using the valve to throttle the water flow will result in a leak at the
valve stem.
