6. Electrical Connection: Connect the heating element's power cable to a suitable, grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets local electrical codes and is protected by a residual current device (RCD).

Operating Instructions

The electric heating element features a digital display and thermostat for precise control.

1. Power On/Off: Plug the radiator into a power outlet. The digital display on the heating element will illuminate, indicating it is powered.
2. Setting Temperature: Use the mechanical buttons on the digital display to adjust the desired temperature. The temperature can be set within a range of 10°C to 65°C. The display will show the current temperature setting.
3. Timer Function: The heating element includes a timer function. Refer to the specific instructions provided with the heating element for detailed programming of heating periods.
4. Frost Protection: The heating element is equipped with a frost protection feature, which automatically activates to maintain a minimum temperature and prevent freezing in cold environments.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your radiator.

• Cleaning: Always disconnect the radiator from the power supply before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the chrome surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all connections and wall mounting points to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Ventilation: Ensure the bathroom is adequately ventilated to prevent excessive humidity, which can contribute to corrosion over time.
• Vent Valve: If the radiator is not heating evenly, it may have trapped air. Carefully open the vent valve at the top of the radiator until water starts to emerge, then close it.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your radiator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Radiator not heating:
  • Check if the power plug is securely inserted into a functional electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the circuit breaker for the outlet has not tripped.
  • Ensure the heating element's temperature setting is above the current ambient room temperature.
  • Confirm that the heating element is properly installed and tightened in the radiator.
• Uneven heating or cold spots:
  • This usually indicates trapped air. Carefully open the vent valve at the top of the radiator to release any air, then close it once water begins to flow out.
• Digital display not working:
  • Check the power supply to the radiator. If power is present but the display remains off, contact customer support.
• Radiator making unusual noises:
  • Minor expansion and contraction noises are normal during heating and cooling. Persistent or loud noises may indicate an issue; ensure the radiator is securely mounted and free of obstructions.
