FAQs
What is the maximum temperature the radiator can reach?
The radiator has a maximum operating temperature of 60°C, regulated by its internal thermal protection and any external thermostat settings.
Can I install this radiator myself?
No, the hard-wiring of the heating element must be performed by a qualified electrician due to safety regulations and the nature of electrical installation.
Does the radiator come with a thermostat?
No, this radiator must be paired with a separate, externally purchased thermostat and fused spur for operation. These are not included.
What is the purpose of the glycol filling?
The glycol solution provides anti-freeze properties, preventing damage in cold conditions, and offers anti-corrosion protection for the internal components, extending the radiator's lifespan.
How often should I clean the radiator?
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance. Dusting it weekly and wiping it down monthly should suffice for most environments.
Can the heating element be installed on either side?
Yes, the heating element is designed to be installed on either the left or right side during the fitting process, offering flexibility for installation.
What are the exact dimensions of this radiator?
The dimensions are 300mm in height, 1010mm in width, and 100mm in depth.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up
Check that the external thermostat is switched on and set to the desired temperature. Verify that the fused spur is switched on. Ensure the hard-wiring connections are secure (this should be checked by a qualified electrician).
Radiator takes a long time to heat the room
Confirm the radiator's wattage (1200W) is appropriate for the room size. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking heat output. Check the external thermostat settings and ensure it's functioning correctly.
Unusual noise from the radiator
A slight expansion/contraction noise when heating up or cooling down is normal. If persistent or loud, contact a qualified installer to check the glycol level and element seating.
Overheating protection engaged
The thermal protection may activate if airflow is severely restricted. Ensure the radiator is not covered and has adequate space around it. If the issue persists, a professional inspection may be needed.
