Pre-Installation Checklist: Ensuring a Smooth Process

Before the first tool is picked up, proper planning is essential for efficiency and safety.

1. Choose the Right Product: Select a model that fits your design aesthetic and functional needs. Bergoto offers a range of hardwired electric towel rails in various sizes, finishes (like Chrome, Black, White), and styles to match any commercial or residential project.

2. Review Local Codes: Always comply with local building and electrical codes. For commercial installations, this almost always requires a licensed electrician.

3. Gather Tools & Materials: You will typically need:

   • Stud finder

   • Level

   • Power drill

   • Appropriate screws and wall plugs (often provided)

   • Screwdrivers

   • Voltage tester

   • Wire nuts/connectors

4. Locate Wall Studs: Use a stud finder to locate the studs in your intended installation area. Mounting directly into a stud provides the strongest hold. For drywall without a stud, you must use heavy-duty hollow-wall anchors.

5. Identify Power Source: Determine the route of the power supply. The unit should be connected to a dedicated circuit or a circuit with minimal load, protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which is standard in bathrooms.

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Your Electric Towel Warmer

Warning: Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker for the room where you are working. Use a voltage tester to confirm the power is off before touching any wires.

Step 1: Position and Mark the Bracket Locations

Hold the mounting bracket against the wall in the desired location. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Once level, mark the screw holes on the wall with a pencil. If you are mounting into studs, ensure your marks align with them.

Step 2: Drill Pilot Holes and Secure the Bracket

Drill pilot holes at the marked points. If you are not drilling into a stud, insert the provided wall plugs. Align the bracket with the holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws. Double-check with your level that the bracket is still perfectly straight.

Step 3: Prepare the Electrical Wiring

At the electrical box, you should find the supply wires (typically black/hot, white/neutral, and green or copper/ground). Your Bergoto towel warmer will have corresponding wires. Follow the manufacturer's instructions precisely for wiring.

• Typically: Connect black to black (line/hot), white to white (neutral), and green/bare copper to green/bare copper (ground).

• Secure each connection with a wire nut and ensure no bare wire is exposed.

Step 4: Mount the Towel Warmer onto the Bracket

Carefully lift the towel warmer and hang it onto the secured wall bracket. Most models, like those from Bergoto, are designed with a simple hook-and-loop or screw-secured system for a clean look and stable fit. There may be small set-screws on the sides of the unit to tighten it onto the bracket – secure these if applicable.

Step 5: Final Check and Power On

Before restoring power, do a final visual check. Ensure all wires are safely tucked into the electrical box and the unit is firmly attached to the wall. Once confirmed, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

Step 6: Test the Unit

Test the functionality of your premium heated towel rack. Turn it on using the control switch or thermostat. You should feel it begin to warm up within a few minutes. Allow it to go through a full heating cycle to ensure everything is working correctly.
