Troubleshooting
Towel rail not heating up
Check that your central heating system is on and functioning. Ensure radiator valves are fully open. If fitted with a dual-fuel element, check its power connection and ensure the thermostat is set correctly.
Leaking from connections
Ensure radiator valves are tightened correctly and that all pipe connections are secure. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.
Uneven heating across rails
This could indicate an airlock in the system. Attempt to bleed the radiator by carefully opening the bleed valve. If the issue persists, seek professional plumbing advice.
Towel rail making noise
Gurgling or knocking sounds may indicate trapped air. Bleed the radiator. If the noise is a loud bang, check system pressure and consider consulting a heating engineer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This heated towel rail is designed to be plumbed into your existing central heating system. It requires two radiator valves (not included) for connection and isolation. Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct and safe connection to your pipework.
Compatibility: The rail is compatible with standard UK wet central heating systems. For dual-fuel functionality, a compatible electric heating element and potentially blanking plugs will be required (sold separately). Ensure your central heating system can accommodate the radiator's heat output.
Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean the towel rail regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. Periodically check that all fixings are secure. Ensure the system is drained before performing any maintenance.
