2. Safety Information
Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation and operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, injury, or death.
- Ensure the radiator is installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local building codes and regulations.
- Do not cover the radiator with clothing or other materials, as this can cause overheating and fire hazards.
- Keep children and pets away from the hot surface of the radiator to prevent burns.
- Before any maintenance or cleaning, ensure the heating system is turned off and the radiator has cooled down.
- The radiator is designed for hot water central heating systems only.
3. Setup and Installation
The EMKE vertical radiator is designed for straightforward installation. However, due to its size and weight (approximately 53 kg), professional assistance is recommended.
3.1 Components Included
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:

3.2 Connection Methods
The radiator supports two primary connection methods:
- Central Connection: This method allows for the use of either a split valve or a combined valve.
- Connection at Both Ends: For this method, a split valve must be used.
The connection thread is G1/2 inch, and the connection size is 50 mm. The wall distance to the center of the inlet pipe is 51 mm.

3.3 Mounting Considerations
Accurate measurement and marking are crucial for proper installation. While the radiator is designed for easy installation, precise positioning of wall brackets is essential, especially for larger models. It is advisable to measure the column spacing directly from the radiator if a detailed mounting template is not provided.
4. Operating Instructions
The EMKE radiator is designed for effective heat distribution within your living space.
4.1 Heat Output and Efficiency
The radiator utilizes low-carbon steel with excellent thermal conductivity and an intelligent design to ensure efficient and even heat distribution. This design helps maintain a comfortable environment while optimizing heating costs.

4.2 Advanced Technology
The radiator panels are joined using advanced brazing technology, resulting in small, clean weld seams. Overlap welding technology further enhances the strength and durability of the connections, minimizing the risk of leaks.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your EMKE radiator.
- Cleaning: Wipe the radiator surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage. Address any issues promptly.
- Bleeding: If you notice cold spots on your radiator or hear gurgling noises, it may need bleeding to release trapped air. Consult your heating system manual or a professional for instructions.
5.1 Material Quality
The radiator is constructed from high-quality SPCC low-carbon steel, known for its strength and reduced susceptibility to leaks. It features an internal coating and an environmentally friendly spray coating for enhanced durability and rust resistance.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your radiator, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Heat or Insufficient Heat: Check if the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the radiator valve is fully open. Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Verify that the central heating system is operational.
- Leaks: Immediately turn off the heating system and isolate the radiator if possible. Contact a qualified plumber for repair.
- Unusual Noises: Gurgling often indicates trapped air (bleed the radiator). Clicking or banging might be due to pipe expansion/contraction or water pressure issues; consult a professional.
For persistent problems, contact EMKE customer support or a certified heating technician.
