FAQs

Can I install this myself?

Basic installation connected solely to a central heating system might be feasible for experienced DIYers. However, converting to or installing as a dual fuel system requires plumbing and electrical knowledge, and professional installation by a qualified tradesperson is strongly recommended for safety and optimal performance.

What size electric element do I need?

The rail comes complete with an IP64 rated heating element suitable for dual fuel use. Specific wattage requirements depend on the size of the towel rail and local regulations. The provided element is designed to work effectively with the unit.

How do I switch between central heating and electric power?

When installed as a dual fuel system, you can control the electric element independently of your central heating. If the central heating is off, you can turn on the electric element. If the central heating is on, you can choose to leave the electric element off to save energy, or use it to boost the heat.

What is the warranty on this towel rail?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty details regarding the Milano Artle heated towel rail.

How often should I clean the towel rail?

It is recommended to clean the towel rail weekly using a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the anthracite finish.

Can I use standard radiator valves with this?

No, this dual fuel model comes with a specific dual fuel t-piece and matching anthracite radiator valves designed for its operation. Using standard valves may compromise functionality and safety.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail is not heating up on central heating

Check if the central heating system is active. Ensure valves are fully open and there are no airlocks in the system. Verify the dual fuel t-piece is correctly installed.

Towel rail is not heating up on electric power

Confirm the electric heating element is properly installed and screwed in. Check the power supply to the element and ensure it is switched on at the mains. The IP64 element requires a fused spur connection, ensure this is correctly wired.

Leaking from valve or t-piece connection

Turn off the water supply to the rail. Gently tighten the leaking connection. If the leak persists, it may require new seals or professional plumbing assistance.

Uneven heating across the towel rail

If connected to central heating, this could indicate an airlock. Bleed the radiator. If using the electric element, ensure it is fully screwed in and consider if the element's wattage is sufficient for the rail size.
