Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Ensure radiator valves are fully open and the central heating system is functioning correctly. Check that the radiator is correctly plumbed into the system.

Leaking from valve connections

Ensure radiator valves are securely tightened onto the radiator tails. Check that valve seals or threads have not been damaged. If the leak persists, consider replacing the valve or seeking professional plumbing assistance.

Low heat output

Check that the radiator valves are fully open. Ensure the central heating system is operating at the correct temperature. Clean any dust or debris from the radiator fins, as blockages can impede airflow and heat distribution.

Radiator makes gurgling noises

This usually indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator until water comes out steadily. If the noise returns frequently, there may be an issue with system pressure or a need for system balancing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Professional Installation: This radiator requires connection to a central heating system. It is strongly recommended to have installation performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct fitting, system integrity, and safety.
  2. Valve Connection: The radiator features C/C tappings of 545mm (c1) and 59mm (c2). Ensure you purchase compatible radiator valves (straight, angled, or corner) that match these dimensions and your plumbing setup. Valves are sold separately.
  3. Mounting: Securely mount the radiator to the wall using appropriate fixings suitable for your wall type. The optional safety stay is recommended for vertical radiators and should be installed as per its instructions for added stability.

Compatibility:

  • System Type: Compatible with standard sealed or open vented central heating systems.
  • Pipework: Standard 15mm pipework is typically used for connecting radiator valves.
  • Finishes: While this model is white, Kartell offers other RAL colours upon request; contact your supplier for details.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the pristine white finish, wipe the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as these can damage the paintwork.
  • System Maintenance: Ensure your central heating system is regularly bled and maintained to prevent airlocks and ensure optimal radiator performance. Periodically check for leaks around valve connections.
