Setup and Installation
The LuxeBath Sahara radiator is designed for straightforward installation. However, for safety and optimal performance, it is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified heating engineer or plumber.
- Preparation: Ensure the installation area is suitable and that the wall can support the weight of the radiator when filled with water. Turn off the central heating system and drain it if necessary.
- Marking: Use the provided wall brackets as a template to mark the drilling points on the wall. Ensure the marks are level and correctly spaced according to the radiator's dimensions.
- Drilling: Drill holes at the marked points and insert the wall plugs.
- Mounting Brackets: Secure the wall brackets to the wall using the screws.
- Radiator Placement: Carefully lift the radiator and place it onto the mounted wall brackets. Ensure it is securely seated.
- Connection: Connect the radiator to your central heating system using appropriate valves (not included). The radiator features a middle connection for convenience.
- Bleeding and Blanking: Install the 1/2 inch bleeding valve at the top and the 1/2 inch blanking plug at the bottom of the radiator.
- Filling and Testing: Slowly refill the central heating system. Bleed the radiator using the bleeding valve until water flows out steadily, indicating all air has been removed. Check all connections for leaks.
For detailed, step-by-step instructions and diagrams, please refer to the official Installation Manual (PDF).

Operating Instructions
Once installed and connected to your central heating system, operating the LuxeBath Sahara radiator is straightforward:
- Turning On/Off: The radiator's heat output is controlled by the valves connected to your central heating system. Open the valves to allow hot water to circulate and close them to stop the flow.
- Temperature Control: If you have thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) installed (not included), you can adjust the heat output for individual rooms.
- Initial Heating: During the first few hours of operation, the radiator may emit a slight odor. This is normal and will dissipate quickly. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your radiator. The LuxeBath Sahara radiator is designed for easy maintenance.
- Cleaning: Clean the radiator regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the anthracite finish.
- Bleeding: If the radiator feels cold at the top but warm at the bottom, it likely contains trapped air. Use a radiator key (not included) to open the bleeding valve slightly until air escapes and water starts to flow. Close the valve immediately. This should be done periodically or when the heating system is refilled.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion. Address any issues promptly.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your radiator, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator is cold at the top, warm at the bottom. | Trapped air inside the radiator. | Bleed the radiator using the bleeding valve until water flows out. |
| Radiator is completely cold. | Valves are closed, central heating system is off, or system pressure is too low. | Ensure radiator valves are open. Check if the central heating system is on and functioning. Verify system pressure and repressurize if necessary. |
| Radiator is leaking. | Loose connection or damaged component. | Immediately turn off the water supply to the radiator. Tighten connections if safe to do so. If damage is apparent, contact a qualified professional. |
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact a qualified heating engineer or LuxeBath customer support.
