Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic plumbing and electrical knowledge; it is highly recommended to consult a qualified heating engineer to ensure the dual fuel setup is balanced correctly with your plumbing system. The unit is compatible with any standard 1/2 inch BSP towel rail. To maintain the finish, wipe down the valves and heating element housing with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could scratch the grey finish. Always ensure the system is depressurized before performing any maintenance on the valves.
