FAQs

What type of central heating system is this radiator compatible with?

The Milano Alpha radiator is compatible with standard domestic wet central heating systems. It functions with most common boiler types.

How do I clean the anthracite finish without damaging it?

Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the powder-coated finish. Always dry with a clean cloth.

What is included with the radiator?

The radiator comes with essential fittings for installation, including wall fixings, brackets, wall plugs, a blanking plug, and a bleed plug.

How can I improve the heat output if it seems low?

Ensure the radiator is properly bled to remove air. Check that all radiator valves are fully open and that the central heating system is operating efficiently. For persistent issues, a professional assessment of your heating system may be needed.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes, professional installation by a qualified plumber is strongly recommended to ensure correct and safe connection to your central heating system and to maintain warranty validity.

What does 'Tested and certified to BS EN 442 Standards' mean?

This certification indicates that the radiator has met rigorous European standards for performance, safety, and quality related to heating output and construction.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up fully

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Ensure radiator valves are fully open. If the issue persists, consult a plumber to check system pressure and flow.

Radiator is making strange noises

Noise could be due to trapped air; try bleeding the radiator. If the noise continues, it might indicate an issue with water flow or system pressure; consult a qualified heating engineer.

Leaking from radiator or fittings

Turn off the heating system immediately. Check if the bleed plug or blanking plug is tightened correctly. Inspect radiator valves and pipe connections for leaks. If leaks persist, contact a plumber for repair.

Finish appears damaged

Do not use abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scuffs, try a very mild soap solution with a soft cloth. For significant damage, professional repair or refinishing may be required, though this is uncommon with the durable coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Milano Alpha radiator should ideally be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connection to your central heating system. The radiator comes with all necessary wall fixings, brackets, wall plugs, a blanking plug, and a bleed plug. Ensure the wall is capable of supporting the weight of the radiator, especially when filled with water. Follow the included instructions carefully for mounting and connecting to your pipework.

Compatibility:

This radiator is designed for use with standard domestic central heating systems that use water. It is compatible with most boiler types. Ensure your system is flushed and clean before installation to prevent debris from entering the radiator.

Care:

To maintain the radiator's appearance and performance:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the powder coating. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
  2. Bleeding: Periodically bleed the radiator to release any trapped air, which can improve heating efficiency. Use the provided bleed plug and a radiator key for this.
  3. System Maintenance: Ensure your central heating system is regularly maintained by a professional to guarantee optimal performance and prevent issues like corrosion or blockages.
