How do I clean the gunmetal finish?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can this towel rail be used with an electric heating element?

This model is designed for connection to a central heating system. Electric conversion may not be supported.

What does the air bleed vent kit do?

The air bleed vent kit helps to release trapped air from the system, ensuring efficient water circulation and preventing cold spots on the towel rail.

Is this towel rail suitable for a downstairs toilet?

Yes, as long as it can be plumbed into a central heating system. It adds a touch of warmth and luxury to any bathroom space.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail is not heating up evenly or has cold spots.

Ensure the air bleed valve is open slightly to release any trapped air. If the issue persists, the system may require balancing or a professional inspection.

Leaking from connections.

Check that all connections are tightened correctly. If leaking continues, the PTFE tape or sealant may need to be replaced, or a plumber should be consulted.

Valves are stiff or difficult to turn.

Gently try to operate the valves. If they remain stiff, a small amount of appropriate lubricant might help, or professional servicing may be needed.

Rust or corrosion appearing on the surface.

This is uncommon with low-carbon steel if properly maintained. Clean the area with a soft cloth and ensure the finish is not damaged. Contact customer support if the issue is significant.
