   8. Sterlingham Towel Warmers must be installed by a qualified electrician/plumber as appropriate. Damage to the product caused by the installer is not covered by our guarantee.
2. Electric Only Towel Warmers
   1. i. Electric Cable Element is rated IP67 – for detailed information on this please review IEC 529:1989, BS EN 65029:1992, or speak to you installer for more details.
   2. ii. Our Electric towel warmers are CE Marked and complies with the European Safety Standards EN60335-1, EN60335-2-43 and EN60079-30-2. These cover the essential requirements of EEC Directives 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EEC.
   3. iii. Our towel warmers are available as 230v, 110v, 12v & 24v. Please contact us if you have an alternative requirement.
   4. iv. The supply cable for our electric only towel warmers comes from the rear centre of a wall or floor fixing flange. Which flange and the length of cable is specified by you. In the absence of your instructions otherwise, the default is top left and 1 metre of cable.
   5. v. Our low-energy heating elements are double insulated to satisfy Class II requirements. Class I requirements are met with the addition of a primary and secondary earth.
   6. vi. Numerous tests are conducted so that no low-energy towel warmer leaves our workshop in less than perfect condition. The heating elements are tested underwater to ensure waterproofing. Not that they are ever likely to come into contact with water being housed in the dry environment of the towel warmer. This means that they can be installed close to sources of water jets or sprays.
3. Hydronic & Dual Fuel Towel Warmers
   1. All dual fuel and hydronic models are pressure tested before polishing, after polishing and after plating to 145 p.s.i (10 bar) to ensure there are no leaks.
   2. Dual fuel and hydronic towel warmers require additional items to be purchased. We recommend high quality valves such as those from Barber Wilsons & Co Ltd. These can be sourced direct or through an alternative supplier or we can order them for you.
   3. In the case of dual fuel models the electric probe element is also a chargeable extra.
   4. As we do not manufacture the dual fuel elements nor the valves required for water/dual fuel warmers we cannot offer quality guarantees on those items other than as stated within the warranty section.
   5. Checks should be made with your local water authority to ensure that the water quality will not cause dezincification of the brass material.
   6. Such towel warmers should not be fitted to a system which uses a water softener. The installer must ensure that the product selected is suitable for the conditions and the water quality.
   7. A manual bleed air vent is fitted to all hydronic and dual fuel models.

Low Energy Towel Warmers are covered by the following 10 year guarantee:
Given satisfactory evidence of the date of purchase, we will, during the first ten years, replace or rectify any mechanical fault to the product as a whole without charge. After this time any fault developing in the electric towel warmers heating element will be rectified by replacing it at our works at the nominal cost to the customer of labour and materials. In this instance no attempt must have been made to dismantle the product because of the potential damage to the element rendering it un-testable. In both instances it is the responsibility of the customer to arrange and cover the costs of safe packaging and transportation to and from the workshop.

Hydronic and Dual Fuel Towel Warmers are guaranteed for five years from the date of supply. As we do not ourselves make the electric heaters for Dual Fuel models, in line with the element manufacturer’s warranty we will provide a replacement cartridge heater free of charge if the heater fails within one year of the date of supply.
