What is the warranty period?

The radiator unit is covered by a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee, while the electrical components are covered for 2 years.

Is the radiator safe for use in a wet room?

Do I need to fill the radiator with fluid?

Troubleshooting

Radiator fails to heat up

Check the fused spur to ensure the fuse has not blown and that the power supply is active.

Unit is making a gurgling sound

Contact a professional; the radiator is factory-sealed and should not be opened or bled by the user.

Surface feels cooler than usual

Ensure the radiator is not obstructed by thick towels or robes that may be restricting airflow and heat dissipation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek and modern silver finish fits most contemporary decor
  • Factory-filled and sealed for immediate installation
  • IPX5 rating ensures high durability in humid bathroom environments
  • Comprehensive 5-year radiator guarantee for peace of mind

Cons

  • Requires professional electrical installation
  • Straight design provides less hanging space than curved models
  • Limited to basic ON/OFF functionality rather than smart app control

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as the radiator requires a connection to a fused spur rather than a standard wall socket to meet safety regulations. Ensure the wall surface is suitable for the weight of the unit when filled with fluid.

For daily maintenance, wipe the silver finish with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, bleach, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the silver finish and degrade the protective coating. Periodically check that the electrical connection remains tight and free of moisture ingress.
