FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Sol*Aire Bray towel rail?

The towel rails come with a long-term 5-year guarantee, and the elements have a 2-year guarantee.

Can I install this myself?

While the electrical setup of the R3 element is simplified, dual fuel installation involves plumbing and electrical work. Professional installation is recommended for safety and optimal performance.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome plating.

What does IP64 rating mean?

An IP64 rating means the device is protected against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction, making it safe for use in bathroom zones.

Can I control the temperature without the remote?

Yes, the R3 element features manual control override directly on the element itself, allowing for basic adjustments and boost functions.

What is the 'open window recognition' feature?

This feature detects a sudden drop in room temperature, assuming a window or door has been opened, and temporarily pauses heating to save energy.

What is the frost protection feature?

The automatic frost protection activates if the temperature drops to approximately 7°C, gently heating the element to prevent the water inside from freezing.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating

Check both the central heating system and the electrical supply to the element. Ensure the timer settings are correct and the remote control has active batteries. Verify that the room temperature is below the set point and that the open window detection is not active.

Element not responding to remote control

Ensure the remote control is within range of the element and has functional batteries. Check for any obstructions between the remote and the element. Try the manual override controls directly on the element.

Leaking from valves or connections

Ensure all valves are fully tightened. If leaks persist, it may indicate a need for professional plumbing adjustment or replacement of valve seals.

Error code displayed on element (if applicable)

Consult the R3 element manual for specific error code meanings and recommended actions. Common solutions may involve resetting the unit or checking power supply.

Timer not working as programmed

Double-check the programmed schedule via the remote control. Ensure the correct day and time are set on the element. Confirm that the unit is not in manual override mode.
