Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up
Check that the central heating system is on and functioning correctly. Ensure the valves are open and that there are no airlocks in the system (bleeding may be required). Verify the system has been refilled correctly with inhibitor.
Leaking from connections
Turn off the water supply to the radiator. Gently tighten the fittings at the valve connections. If the leak persists, consult a qualified plumber.
Uneven heating across the bars
This could indicate an airlock. Try bleeding the radiator at the air vent. If the issue continues, there may be a balancing problem within the system that requires professional attention.
Exterior surface is scratched or damaged
Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner for routine cleaning. For existing scratches, professional polishing or replacement may be necessary. Avoid using harsh cleaning tools.
