Wall Mounting

Before starting work, ensure working area is free of obstructions and objects that could cause harm to you the radiator or the electrical power chord. Unpack Gordon carefully. If laying Gordon onto the floor place it with the back face to the floor, unless you can ensure that there is nothing underneath that could cause damage.

  1. Mark the position of the top of Gordon on the wall, then locate the main wall mounting bracket.

  2. The main wall bracket is mounted 68mm below the top of Gordon (see drawing) hold it in position and mark through the centre of the slotted bracket hole.

  3. Using a 7mm masonry bit drill a hole in the wall to a suitable depth. Fit a wall plug into this hole. Now fix the main wall bracket through the central slotted hole using one of the screws provided. Do not fully tighten.

  4. Adjust the main bracket for height and ensure it is level using a spirit level.

  5. Using at least two of the hole positions on the bracket drill and fix the bracket firmly to the wall using the wall plugs and screws provided (we provide 8 holes to allow for a variety of fixing positions).

  6. Now locate the centre bottom bracket, position this as shown on the drawing and fix the bracket firmly to the wall using the wall plugs and screws provided. The slotted hole can be used for initial adjustment prior to fixing through the remaining hole.

  7. N.B. Bracket fixing positions are shown on the drawing above that will allow for pre-drilling of the holes if the product is not yet on site. Accurately mark out hole positions on the wall using a spirit level and tape measure.

  8. Hang Gordon onto the main bracket ensuring it is fully engaged on the plastic spacers.

  9. Using a 5mm allen key provided fix the centre bottom bracket to the radiator using the 6mm capscrew provided – this bracket is there to lock Gordon onto the wall and prevent it from being removed or knocked off the top bracket.

  10. Wire radiator into a fused spur providing a means of isolation in accordance with current UK standards and regulations.

  11. If installation problems arise, please contact the Eskimo technical department at 07595 592033.

  12. Abrasive cleaners should never be used on Eskimo products.

Cleaning

The powder-coated finish on your towel rail can be maintained by occasionally wiping it over with a damp cloth and lightly finishing with a soft dry cloth. This should only be carried out when the rail is cold. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders as this could damage the surface finish. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and do not use solvents or petroleum-based cleaning products – these can damage the coating of the Gordon and therefore reduce its service life. Essential oils, especially those containing eucalyptus, may harm the powder-coated surface – it is recommended that these are kept away from your Gordon.
