Product Information

Full details

The Sol*Aire R3 ECO Electric Heating Element is designed for users of heated towel rails seeking efficient and programmable control over their bathroom heating. Its key benefit is offering full customization via a remote and on-unit controls, adapting the towel rail to function as a room heater or simply for towel drying. A potential caveat is the reliance on the remote for full functionality, though manual controls are present.

FAQs

What is the power output of this element?

This is a 300W element.

Can I use this element without the remote control?

Yes, basic manual controls are available on the front face of the element for essential functions. However, advanced programming and setting changes are best done with the remote.

How do I set a heating schedule?

You can set a 7-day, 24-hour schedule using the remote control, with up to four on/off times per day. Detailed instructions are provided in the user manual.

What does 'LOT 20 ECO Design compliant' mean?

This means the product meets European energy efficiency standards for electric heaters, ensuring it operates in an environmentally conscious and energy-saving manner.

Can the towel rail heat the entire bathroom?

Yes, when set to 'room temperature control' mode, the element will work to maintain a set room temperature. In 'radiator temperature control' mode, it primarily heats the towel rail itself for drying towels.

How do I activate the 2-4 hour boost?

The boost function can be activated manually via the controls on the element or through the remote control for a set period of 2 to 4 hours.

What is the 'pass code anti-tamper lock' for?

This feature allows you to set a passcode to prevent unauthorized users from changing the element's settings, which is useful for maintaining specific temperature or schedule settings.

Troubleshooting

Element not turning on

Check the mains power supply. Ensure the remote control is functioning and has battery power. Verify that the element is correctly installed and secured.

Remote control not working

Replace the battery in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the element. Try re-pairing the remote with the element by following the setup instructions.

Heating is inconsistent

Verify the programmed schedule and temperature settings. Check if the 'Open Window' detection has been triggered. Ensure the radiator is not blocked and has adequate airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly energy-efficient with LOT 20 ECO Design compliance.
  • Flexible heating options: room heating or towel drying.
  • Comprehensive programming via timer and remote control.
  • User-friendly interface with both remote and manual controls.
  • Safety features like temperature lock and anti-tamper protection.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The R3 element is designed to be installed into a compatible heated towel rail. Ensure the towel rail is suitable for electric heating elements and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Once physically installed, connect the element to the mains power supply. The initial setup involves pairing the remote control and setting the clock on the element.

Compatibility: This R3 element is compatible with heated towel rails designed to accept electric heating elements. It is essential to ensure the wattage of the element is appropriate for the size of your towel rail.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity, regularly clean the element and towel rail with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the element remains dry and free from dust and debris. Periodically check that the remote control batteries are functional.
