What is the warranty on the product?

The towel rail itself comes with a 10-year guarantee, and the heating element has a 2-year guarantee.

How do I clean the white finish?

What are the dimensions of the towel rail?

The dimensions are 1200mm (height) x 600mm (width) x 45mm (depth).

Is professional installation required?

Yes, for safe and correct installation, especially the electrical connection for the heating element, professional installation by a qualified tradesperson is highly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail is not heating up when central heating is on.

Check that your central heating system is fully operational. Ensure the dual fuel valves are open and that air has been bled from the towel rail.

Heating element is not working.

Verify that the heating element is correctly installed and screwed in fully. Ensure the electrical connection is sound and that the circuit breaker for the towel rail is activated. Contact a qualified electrician if issues persist.

Leaking from valve connections.

Gently tighten the leaking connection. If the leak continues, you may need to reapply PTFE tape or sealant to the threads and re-tighten.

The towel rail makes noise (gurgling or banging).

This is likely due to air in the system. Use the bleed plug at the top of the rail to carefully release any trapped air until only water emerges.
