MAINTENANCE
Your Runtal towel radiator has been designed to
require the absolute minimum maintenance and care
under normal use. However, care should be taken
when cleaning the surface of the towel radiator.
As with any electrical appliance, the electric towel
radiator should only be cleaned when in the OFF
position (unplugged if possible). The towel
radiator’s stainless steel construction provides an
elegant finish. Occasional cleaning of this finish is
best done with a water dampened cloth.
Under no
circumstances should abrasive cleaners, cloths or
pads be used.
1) Read all instructions before using this heater.
2) Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used
by or near children or invalids and whenever the
heater is left operating and unattended.
3)
Always unplug heater when not in use.
4)
Do not operate any heater with a damaged cor
d or
plug or after the heater malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the heater to an
authorized service facility for examination, electrical
or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
5)
Do not r
un the cor
d under carpeting. Do not cover
the cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.
Arrange the cord away from traffic areas and where
it will not be tripped over
.
6) T
o disconnect heater, press control to off, then
remove the plug from the outlet.
7) Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any
other use not recommended by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
8) Avoid the use of an extension cord, because the
extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
However, if you have to use an extension cord, the
cord should be No. 18 AWG min. size and rated not
less than 875 watts.
9) This heater is for use on 120 volts. The plug-in model
has a cord as shown in A of drawings below. An
adapter as shown at C is available for connecting
three-blade grounding-type plugs to two slot
r
eceptacles. The green grounding lug extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The
adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded
r
eceptacle is available.
10) Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
11)
Do not use outdoors.

OPERATION
When plugged in or direct-wired the red ready light
will always remain on unless the power is interrupted.
This ready light is the basic off position. Towel
r
adiators come complete with 5 power settings (Off,
Low, Medium, High, and 3 Hour Timer at High
S
etting). Press the select button to reach the desired
setting. While the fastest heating will be achieved
on the high setting (approximately 25 minutes to
full heat), the low or medium settings will produce
optimum heating efficiency. Cold rooms will benefit
by leaving the unit on longer. You may wish to use
our Electric Programmable Controller (EPC) for
maximum efficiency. The operation of the
Hydronic
m
odel is dependent upon the forced hot water
heating system or circulating hot water system being
u
sed. Typical concerns are: water temperature, flow
rate, and controlling thermostats and valves. Consult
with the installing heating contractor for the proper
choice of the available
Hydronic models, and
installation specifics.
