FAQs

Does this radiator require professional installation?

No, it is designed for straightforward installation. It can be plugged into a standard 13-amp socket. Hardwiring is an option but requires a qualified electrician.

What is the benefit of the quick heating fluid?

The fluid heats up rapidly, allowing the radiator to start emitting heat much faster than conventional radiators, making room heating more efficient and responsive.

Can I control multiple radiators with the app?

Yes, you can add multiple electriQ radiators to your Tuya app account and control each one independently, setting schedules and temperatures for different rooms.

Is this radiator waterproof?

Yes, it has a waterproof rating of IPX4, making it suitable for installation in bathrooms or other areas where it may be exposed to splashes.

What is the warranty period?

The radiator comes with a 5-year electrical warranty and a 10-year warranty on the radiator body itself.

How does it compare to gas central heating?

This electric radiator heats individual rooms efficiently, which can be more cost-effective than running a central heating system that heats the entire home, especially if you only need to heat specific areas.

What colours are available?

This model is shown in Elk brown, but it is also available in Dark anthracite grey, Light grey, White, Beige grey, Smoked Stone, Linen, Salt & Pepper, Russet, Cleopatra, and Ever Green.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not turning on

Check that the power plug is securely connected to the socket. Verify the socket is working by testing another appliance. Ensure the main switch on the radiator (if applicable) is on.

Unable to connect to Wi-Fi / App control not working

Ensure your Wi-Fi is operational and within range. Restart your router and the radiator. Confirm you are using the correct Wi-Fi password and that the network is 2.4GHz. Re-attempt the pairing process in the Tuya app.

Radiator not heating effectively

Check the thermostat setting on the radiator or in the app. Ensure no objects are blocking the heat emission. Verify that a heating schedule is not preventing it from reaching temperature. For prolonged issues, contact customer support.

Display shows an error code

Refer to the product manual for specific error code meanings. Common solutions involve checking power and ensuring proper ventilation. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
