Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up fully

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Check that radiator valves are fully open and that the central heating system is functioning correctly.

Noisy radiator (gurgling or banging)

This is often due to trapped air. Bleed the radiator. If the noise persists, there may be an issue with system pressure or flow.

Leaking from valves or connections

Ensure all connections are tightened correctly. If leaking from the valve, the valve itself may need servicing or replacement. Contact a qualified plumber.

Paintwork chipped or damaged

Use a touch-up paint specifically designed for radiators, ensuring it is compatible with the existing finish (RAL 9016 Traffic White). Clean the area thoroughly before applying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Stelrad Elite K1 radiators are supplied fully assembled, simplifying the installation process. Ensure you have the correct radiator valves and fixings, which are included with the radiator (valves sold separately). Follow standard plumbing procedures for connecting the radiator to your central heating system. For optimal performance, ensure the radiator is correctly bled of air after installation.

Care: To maintain the pristine finish, clean the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the paintwork.

Periodically check for any dust accumulation behind the radiator and in the convector fins; a long-handled brush can be useful for this.
