Skope Heated Towel Rail Timer Instructions May 2026
Skope heated towel rails often utilize the GBT100 Timer, which is typically installed behind the rail's wall switch. Because the timer is concealed, programming is done through a specific sequence of toggling the standard wall power switch. Quick Setup Guide
- Press and hold the Clock button (or P button) for 3–5 seconds until the screen flashes.
- The day of the week will flash first.
- Stagger Your Times: Do not set the rail to turn OFF at the exact second you leave for work. Set it to turn OFF 15 minutes after you leave – the residual heat will keep towels warm, but you save energy.
- Winter vs. Summer: In winter, add an extra program (e.g., PROG 3: ON 12:00 – OFF 13:00) to dry thick towels quickly. In summer, stick to morning/evening only.
- Don't Use "MAN ON": A Skope rail is not a room heater. Using Manual On continuously is expensive and unnecessary.
- Frost Protect for Holidays: Before leaving for a winter trip, switch to FROST mode. This prevents burst pipes in the bathroom without wasting heat.
