Product Information

Full details

The Reina Maira Dry Electric Towel Radiator is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish, space-saving, and energy-efficient solution to warm towels and bathrooms. Its key benefit is the integrated top shelf, offering dual functionality for towel warming and storage, particularly useful in smaller bathrooms. A potential caveat is that dry electric technology may take slightly longer to reach initial operating temperature compared to liquid-filled models, though it offers superior leak protection and energy savings.

FAQs

Is this towel radiator part of a central heating system?

No, the Reina Maira is a dry electric heated towel radiator. It operates independently using its own heating element and requires a mains electrical connection, separate from your central heating system.

How do I set the timer?

The timer function is accessible via the discreetly integrated control panel on the bottom-right upright tube. You can select from 2, 4, or 24-hour heating cycles.

What is 'dry electric' technology?

Dry electric technology means the towel rail uses an internal heating element that does not require filling with liquid. This makes it more energy-efficient, faster to heat up, and eliminates the risk of leaks.

Can I install this myself?

While the product is designed for wall mounting, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended due to the electrical connections involved to ensure safety and compliance.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as this can vary. Typically, premium bathroom fixtures come with a manufacturer's warranty.

How much power does it consume?

The towel rail has an output of 145 Watts. Actual energy consumption will depend on the selected heating mode and how often the timer is used.

Can the shelf be removed?

No, the integrated top shelf is a fixed part of the Maira design and cannot be removed.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating

Check that the unit is correctly connected to the mains power supply and that the circuit breaker is switched on. Ensure the control panel is set to an active heating mode and timer setting.

Control panel unresponsive

Ensure the control panel is clean and dry. If the issue persists, a power cycle (turning the unit off and on at the main power source) may help. If problems continue, contact a qualified electrician.

Unit making unusual noises

Dry electric towel rails are typically very quiet. A faint clicking sound may occasionally occur as the element heats or cools. If you hear persistent or loud noises, switch off the unit and consult an electrician.

Poor towel warming performance

Ensure towels are hung appropriately, not densely packed, to allow for air circulation. Verify the heating mode and timer settings are correct. Check that the room is not excessively large for the radiator's output (145W).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving design with integrated shelf for dual functionality.
  • Energy-efficient dry electric technology reduces running costs.
  • Eliminates risk of leaks associated with liquid-filled radiators.

  • Easy-to-use integrated control panel with timer options.
  • Durable construction from premium stainless steel.

Cons

  • Dry electric heating may have a slightly longer initial heat-up time compared to some other technologies.
  • Requires professional installation due to electrical connections.
  • The silver finish might show water spots if not regularly wiped down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Maira is designed for wall mounting. Installation requires connecting the unit to your home's electrical supply. Due to the electrical nature of this product, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. The wiring is concealed within the bracket for a clean finish.

Compatibility: This is a dry electric towel radiator and operates independently of your central heating system. It requires a mains power connection. It is suitable for standard domestic bathroom environments.

Care: To maintain the polished stainless steel finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure the control panel remains dry.
