The unit is designed for bottom-port mounting, with the flexibility to install it on either the left or right side. After installation, ensure the heating system is bled to remove trapped air. To maintain the brushed brass finish, wipe the exterior periodically with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or acidic cleaners that may damage the aesthetic coating. Always ensure your Wi-Fi router is within range to maintain a consistent connection for the smart features.
