Troubleshooting
Towel rail is not heating
Check the electrical connection and ensure the circuit breaker is on. Verify the CP element is properly connected and functioning. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.
Towel rail is leaking
Immediately turn off the power supply to the rail. Inspect the seals and connections for any signs of damage. If a leak is found, do not use the product and contact customer support or a qualified plumber.
Uneven heating
Ensure the rail is installed level. If prefilled with glycol, and if the issue is persistent, there might be an air bubble or fluid distribution issue. Contact customer support for guidance.
CP element is not splash-proof
This should not occur if installed correctly. Ensure all seals are intact. If you suspect an issue with the element's rating or function, contact customer support.
