Verify that all wall-mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall and that the radiator is properly seated on the brackets. Tighten any fixings if necessary, ensuring not to overtighten.
Ensure towels are not excessively thick or densely packed onto the bars, which can impede airflow and drying. Confirm the radiator is switched on and receiving power. Check that the unit is clean and free from dust or debris that might obstruct heat distribution.
Setup:
The Reina Rance is designed for electric-only installation. It connects to an external switched spur socket, which must be purchased separately. The unit includes all necessary wall-mounting brackets and fixings. The wiring cables are cleverly concealed within the bottom bracket of the rail for a clean look. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended to ensure safety and compliance.
Compatibility:
This radiator is *not* compatible with central heating systems. It operates solely on electricity and requires a dedicated switched spur connection. Ensure your chosen installation location has access to a suitable electrical connection point.
Care:
To maintain the polished stainless steel finish, clean the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a clean cloth. The IPX4 rating indicates protection against splashing water, so it can be safely cleaned in its installed location, but avoid directing high-pressure water jets at the unit.
