FAQs

What is the power consumption of this radiator?

The power consumption will depend on the specific wattage of the pre-mounted heating element, which is not detailed in the provided information. Please refer to the product's technical specifications or packaging for precise wattage.

Can this radiator be wired directly into the mains supply without a plug?

The Vertirad Open is designed as a plug-and-play unit with a pre-mounted heating element and cable. Direct wiring may be possible but should only be performed by a qualified electrician and may void the warranty.

What are the dimensions of the radiator?

The dimensions are 600mm in width and 1195mm in height.

Is the heating element adjustable or thermostat-controlled?

The product description indicates a pre-mounted heating element. It does not specify if it includes adjustable temperature controls or a thermostat. Please consult the full product manual for details.

How many towels can it typically hold?

Due to its open vertical design, it can accommodate multiple towels, typically 2-3 large bath towels, depending on how they are hung.

What is included in the 10-year manufacturer's guarantee?

The 10-year manufacturer's guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Specific terms and conditions apply and should be reviewed on the manufacturer's website or documentation.

Can this radiator be installed in a bathroom environment?

Yes, electric towel warmers are commonly installed in bathrooms. However, ensure it is installed safely, respecting electrical regulations regarding proximity to water sources, and is plugged into a suitable socket.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up.

Check that the radiator is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Verify that the power switch at the outlet is turned on. Ensure the radiator is switched on via its own controls (if any) and that the 10-year guarantee hasn't expired.

Uneven heating.

Ensure towels or other items are not blocking the heating elements or panels. Check for any visible damage to the unit. If the issue persists, contact the manufacturer.

Radiator makes noise.

Minor expansion or contraction sounds can occur as the radiator heats and cools. If the noise is persistent or loud, check for loose fittings or contact customer support.

Visible damage to the finish.

Do not use abrasive cleaners. For minor scuffs, try a non-abrasive cleaner designed for coated surfaces. For significant damage, consult the manufacturer regarding repair or replacement under warranty.
