Follow instructions accurately to make certain the Towel Warmer is properly attached to the wall or floor. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS COULD RESULT IN PROBLEMS. 3. Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the. A mild detergent will clean and restore most units to their original beauty. 4. TO ENSURE FULL EFFICIENCY OF YOUR TOWEL WARMER, PLEASE FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, OBSERVING THE CAUTION NOTATIONS FOR EACH STEP. 5. Inlet water temperature should be between 120 F and 150 F. DO NOT exceed this limit. A burn hazard may result. Valves Air Vent Key Sleeve Kit Cross Handle Valve fig 1: Installation Parts Fixing Screws Adjustable Wall Stays (where applicable) GENERAL: The is designed to provide an all year-round service for airing towels and articles of clothing. Most s provide enough heat to warm towels and provide additional heat to the room. Larger units may be sufficient to serve as the sole heat source for a small bathroom. STEP 1: PRE-INSTALLATION A. Select Installation Site: Make certain there is ample clearance on both sides and back of the. Note: This unit is supplied with the proper hardware for installation. Be sure wall construction is appropriate for hanging (see Step 3A). B. Before beginning the installation of any Towel Warmer, please note the following: 1. Maximum operating temperature should be no higher than 150 F or 66 C. Any working water temperature higher than 150 F could create a potential burn hazard. 2. s take 20 minutes to 30 minutes to heat towels properly. For this reason, we do not recommend piping s through shower valves. 3. s can be safely operated continually year-round without turning them off. 4. s may be controlled by a timer or a thermostat that controls the system pump. C. Refer to rough-in information on back page. STEP 2: INSPECT MYSON TOWEL WARMER A. Unpack the MYSON carefully to avoid any damage or loss of any part. When opening the box and unwrapping the, be sure that parts are not accidentally discarded (see illustration, fig 1). B. MYSON s are shipped in specially designed shipping cartons. The entire surface of the is hand-wrapped to protect the finish. Check the wrapping for any sign of damage. STEP 3: INSTALLATION Carefully remove the protective wrapping and move the Towel Warmer into position. A. Mounting: 1. The MYSON has been designed with integral fixing flanges. These will facilitate a permanent and secure mounting of the to the wall or floor using the screws provided. In addition, some models come with adjustable wall stays for extra security. B. Valve Installation: 1. The valves are composed of a main body, a union connection, and a copper compression ring and nut located at the bottom of the valve (have the sleeve kit available at this time). 2. The sleeve kit consists of a small escutcheon plate and matching 3" piece of tubing used to cover the water pipe connections. 3. After having stubbed the copper tubing, place the sleeve and escutcheon plate over exposed copper tubing. 4. Place compression nut and ring onto the copper tube (see fig 2). 5. Next, remove the valves from the and check to be sure that the valves are completely OPEN. IMPORTANT: There are two valves which come with s. One valve is always permanently open, but the other valve can be opened or closed. These valves seal only in the fully OPEN or fully CLOSED position. Using the valve to throttle the water flow will result in a leak at the valve stem. 6. Remove union and nipple from the valve. Apply either Teflon tape or pipe joint compound on the threads of the nipple. Hand tighten nipple to. With an Allen wrench inserted into the nipple, hand tighten to secure appropriate fit (DO NOT USE A PIPE WRENCH OR PLIERS, and DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. OVER TIGHTENING WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO LEAK). Read completely before beginning

3 Note: One to three threads may still be visible when tightened. 7. Set valve into position and seat copper tubing into the base of the valve. Seat the union nipple into the valve and loosely tighten the union nut. Hand tighten the compression nut. Union Nut Nipple Top of Valve (fixed) Valve Body CAUTION: DO NOT TURN THE VALVE BODY, TURN THE NUT ONLY. TURNING THE VALVE BODY WILL SPLIT THE COMPRESSION RING, MAKING A GOOD SEAL UNLIKELY. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! 8. Turn the compression nut 1/4 turn more to securely seal. Tighten union connection to valve. Repeat for second valve. Water is ready to be circulated through your MYSON Towel Warmer at this time. 9. Connect to hot water system using one of the options shown below or on the following page. When all connections are complete, add water and vent unit using the bleed valve located on the top rail at the back or side of the unit, depending on the style of the unit. Note: The key for the bleed valve is provided with the unit. fig 2 Pipe Compression Ring Compression Nut Sleeve Escutcheon Plate STEP 4: OPERATION & MAINTENANCE Your MYSON can be left on continuously without detrimental effect either to the or to the articles on it. CLEANING: The finish of your MYSON 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.
