What maintenance is required?

Can I paint this radiator a different color?

Troubleshooting
Radiator is cold at the top
The radiator likely needs bleeding. Use a radiator key to carefully open the bleed valve at the top until water begins to trickle out, then close the valve.
Radiator is not heating up at all
Check if the valve is fully open and if the central heating system is operational. Ensure the lockshield valve is also open.
Leaking from valve connections
Turn off the heating system and isolate the radiator. Tighten the valve connections slightly. If the leak persists, the fitting may need resealing or replacement by a professional.
Knocking or Gurgling noises
This usually indicates air in the system or water flow issues. Bleed the radiators and check the system pressure. If noise continues, consult a heating engineer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Due to the significant weight of cast iron, professional installation is highly recommended. Ensure your wall can support the radiator's weight (consult a professional for load-bearing calculations). The radiator typically connects to a standard central heating system.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all standard wet central heating systems (combi boilers, system boilers, conventional boilers).
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for leaks and ensure valves are functioning correctly. Bleed the radiator if it feels cold at the top, using a radiator key.
- Protection: In areas prone to condensation, ensure adequate ventilation or consider a corrosion inhibitor for the heating system.
- Refinishing: If the paintwork is damaged, it can be carefully repainted using radiator-specific paint for cast iron.
