4. Operating Instructions
The EMKE Design Radiator operates as part of a hot water central heating system, distributing heat through convection.
4.1 Heating Principle
Hot water circulates through the radiator panels, transferring heat to the surrounding air. This creates a comfortable and even warmth in the room.

4.2 Temperature Control
Temperature control is managed by external valves (not included) connected to your central heating system. Adjust these valves to regulate the heat output of the radiator.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your radiator.
5.1 Cleaning
- Wipe the radiator surface with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the anthracite finish.
- Do not use metal objects for cleaning, as the paint finish is sensitive and can chip.
5.2 Bleeding the Radiator
If your radiator is not heating evenly or makes gurgling noises, it may contain trapped air. Bleed the radiator periodically using a radiator key (not included) to release air and improve efficiency.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your EMKE Design Radiator.
6.1 Radiator Not Heating
- Check Valves: Ensure both inlet and outlet valves are fully open.
- Bleed Air: Trapped air can prevent proper heating. Bleed the radiator as described in the Maintenance section.
- System Pressure: Verify that your central heating system's pressure is within the recommended range.
6.2 Uneven Heating
- Bleed Air: Uneven heating, especially a cold top and warm bottom, often indicates trapped air.
- Balancing: Your heating system may need balancing. Consult a heating engineer for this procedure.
6.3 Leaks
- Check Connections: Ensure all pipe connections are tight. Do not overtighten.
- Valve Issues: Inspect valves for any signs of leakage.
- If a leak persists, immediately turn off the water supply to the radiator and contact a qualified plumber.
