FAQs
How long does the Arroll Montmartre radiator take to heat up?
Cast iron radiators take longer to heat up than those made from aluminum or steel, typically ranging from 30 minutes to over an hour to reach full temperature, depending on system water temperature and room size.
How long does the Arroll Montmartre radiator retain heat?
Due to its thermal mass, it retains heat for a significant time after the heating system turns off, often continuing to radiate warmth for 1-2 hours or more.
Can I paint this radiator myself?
Yes, the radiator can be repainted if the finish is damaged or if you wish to change its color. Use paints specifically designed for radiators and follow application instructions carefully to ensure a durable finish.
What type of system is this radiator compatible with?
It is designed for standard wet central heating systems. It's not suitable for electric-only heating systems.
Is installation difficult?
Due to its weight, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure safe and correct fitting.
How should I clean the radiator?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the paintwork.
What is the warranty period for this radiator?
Warranty information varies by retailer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up at all
Check if the central heating system is on and if other radiators are working. Ensure the radiator valve is fully open and the system has been adequately bled.
Radiator is only partially warm
This often indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator by carefully opening the bleed valve until water starts to drip out, then close the valve.
Leaking from valve connections
Tighten the valve connections slightly. If the leak persists, the valve may need to be replaced by a qualified professional.
Uneven heating across the radiator
Ensure the radiator is correctly installed and level. If the issue persists, it may require professional inspection to check for internal blockages.
Paint finish appears dull or chipped
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For chipped areas, use appropriate touch-up paint designed for radiators to prevent corrosion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of cast iron radiators typically requires professional plumbing services due to their weight and connection requirements. Ensure your wall can support the radiator's weight and that appropriate valves are installed for connection to your central heating system. Bleeding the radiator may be necessary after initial installation to remove any trapped air.
Compatibility:
This radiator is designed to be connected to a standard wet central heating system. Ensure your system pressure and water temperature are within the recommended operating ranges for cast iron radiators.
Care:
Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the paint finish. For minor scratches or chips in the paint, touch-up paint may be required to prevent rust. Periodically check valve connections for leaks. Annual bleeding of the system may be beneficial to ensure optimal performance.
