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
painted or chrome finish provides an elegant yet
durable finish to this welded steel product. 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 cord 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 run the cord 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) To 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 r
ecommended 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 thr
ee-slot gr
ounded
receptacle is available.
10) Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
11) Do not use outdoors.

ERATION
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
radiators come complete with 5 power settings (Off,
Low, Medium, High, and 3 Hour Timer at High
Setting). 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.
Hydronic models are made for a closed-loop
hot water heating system only. 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.
