To turn off your heated towel warmer, adjust the valves by turning them clockwise until they stop or the dial reads '0'. Here's a more detailed explanation:
Most heated towel warmers can be turned off by manipulating their valves. These valves control the flow of hot water (usually from your central heating system) into the warmer.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Identify the Valves: Look for valves connected to the towel warmer. You'll typically find one at the top and one at the bottom. Some may be straight, angled, or even lockshield valves.
-
Turn Clockwise: Rotate each valve clockwise. This action restricts the flow of hot water into the towel warmer.
-
Check for Resistance: Keep turning the valve until you feel resistance or it stops turning altogether. On some valves, a dial will indicate the level. Turn it until it reaches '0' or the lowest setting.
Important Considerations:
-
Lockshield Valves: Lockshield valves might require a small Allen key or screwdriver to adjust. They often have a cap covering the adjustment mechanism. Remove the cap carefully before attempting to turn the valve.
-
Complete Shut-Off: Ensure both valves are completely closed to effectively turn off the towel warmer.
-
Partial Shut-Off (If Desired): You can partially close the valves to reduce the heat output without completely turning off the warmer.
By following these steps, you can easily control the operation of your towel warmer and turn it off when needed.
