Troubleshooting
Towel rail is not heating up
Ensure the central heating system is on. Check if radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the towel rail to remove any trapped air. If converted to dual fuel, check the electrical connection and heating element.
Leaking from connections
Turn off the water supply to the rail. Tighten the connections at the valve fittings. If the leak persists, you may need to re-seal the connections or consult a plumber.
Uneven heating across the rails
Air may be trapped in the system. Bleed the towel rail by carefully opening the bleed valve at the top until water emerges, then close it. Ensure valves are correctly installed and open.
Exterior finish appears dull or discolored
Clean the rail with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the finish is dried thoroughly. For persistent issues with the brushed brass, check for consistency with other brushed brass items as noted in the product description.
