Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating evenly
Ensure the radiator is properly bled to remove trapped air. Check that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) or manual valve is fully open.
Leaking from valves or connections
Check that all connections are tight. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber. Ensure the bleed valve is securely closed after bleeding.
Discoloration on the raw metal finish
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the room humidity is managed to prevent condensation buildup on the metal surface.
