Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. If the issue persists, check if the lockshield valve is correctly set and ensure there are no blockages in the system.

Radiator is cold at the top and warm at the bottom

This indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator using the bleed key until water begins to emerge.

Water leaks from connections

Tighten the relevant fitting gently. If the leak continues, the connection may need to be resealed by a professional installer.

Low heat output despite system being on

Check that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) or manual valve is fully open. Ensure the central heating system is functioning correctly and reaching the desired temperature.

  • Elegant and modern design that enhances interior aesthetics.
  • Easy to install with integrated components.
  • Optimized for low-temperature heating systems, promoting energy efficiency.
  • Durable construction backed by a 15-year warranty.

Cons

  • Specific dimensions (600 x 1200mm) require adequate wall space.

  • Requires a central heating system for operation.
  • The white finish, while versatile, might show dirt more readily than darker options in certain environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer. The radiator is designed for standard central heating pipework. Ensure all connections are secure and properly sealed to prevent leaks. The integrated top grille and side panels mean minimal assembly is required post-mounting.

Compatibility:

This radiator is fully compatible with all standard wet central heating systems, including those utilizing combi boilers, system boilers, and regular boilers. It is particularly well-suited for low-temperature systems (e.g., powered by heat pumps or solar thermal) and is designed to work with them efficiently. Ensure your system pressure and water quality are within the recommended ranges for optimal performance and longevity.

Care:

To maintain the radiator's appearance, clean the exterior surfaces periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent diluted in water. Ensure the radiator is cool before cleaning. Dust can be removed from the grille and fins using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or a radiator brush.
