6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your radiator.
- Cleaning: Disconnect the power before cleaning. Wipe the radiator surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the anthracite finish.
- Fluid Level: Periodically check the thermal fluid level. If the radiator is not heating efficiently or making unusual noises, the fluid level might be low. Consult a professional for refilling.
- Bleeding: If you notice cold spots or gurgling sounds, air may be trapped inside. Carefully open the bleed valve at the top of the radiator until water starts to come out, then close it. Ensure the power is off during this process.
- Inspections: Annually inspect the power cable and plug for any signs of damage. If damage is found, have it replaced by a qualified technician.
