FAQs

Do I need to flush the system before installing the towel rail?

Yes, it is recommended to flush your central heating system thoroughly before installing any new radiator or towel rail to remove any debris that could cause blockages.

Can this towel rail be used with an electric element?

The Kartell Oakland Designer Towel Rail is designed for central heating systems. It is not typically designed for use with electric heating elements unless a specific electric conversion kit is purchased separately and is compatible.

What is the warranty period for this towel rail?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.

How many towels can fit on this rail?

The number of towels that can fit depends on their size and how they are hung. Typically, it can accommodate 2-3 medium-sized towels comfortably.

Is the silver colour consistent across the product?

Yes, the product features a high-polished chrome finish, which provides a consistent, sparkling silver appearance across the entire towel rail.

Can I paint or re-finish the towel rail?

It is not recommended to paint or re-finish the towel rail, as this can damage the protective chrome coating and affect its heating efficiency and warranty.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating up

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. Ensure radiator valves are open. If only this towel rail is affected, air may be trapped; consider bleeding it (consult installation manual or professional).

Leaking at connection points

Turn off the water supply to the towel rail. Gently tighten the leaking connection. If the leak persists, the seal may need replacement. Contact a qualified plumber.

Chrome finish appears dull or stained

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Dry thoroughly with a separate soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Kartell Oakland Designer Towel Rail typically requires plumbing expertise. It is designed to be plumbed into your existing central heating system. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct and safe fitting, and to maintain warranty compliance. Ensure you have adequate space and the necessary pipework connections available.

Compatibility: This towel rail is compatible with standard central heating systems. It is crucial to confirm that your system’s pressure and temperature ratings are suitable for the towel rail.

Care: To maintain the sparkling chrome finish, regularly wipe the towel rail with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and then dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Periodically check plumbing connections for any signs of leaks.
