Operating Instructions
The EMKE Bathroom Radiator operates as a hot water heating unit. Once connected to your central heating system, its operation is controlled by your home's thermostat and the radiator valve (not included).
Basic Operation:
- Heating Activation: Ensure your central heating system is active.
- Temperature Control: Adjust the radiator valve to control the heat output. Turning the valve clockwise typically reduces heat, while counter-clockwise increases it.
- Towel Drying: Hang towels on the radiator bars. The innovative loop design and flat tubes ensure even and rapid heating, drying towels efficiently.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your EMKE Bathroom Radiator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator is cold or only partially warm. | Trapped air in the system. | Bleed the radiator using a radiator key until water flows out steadily. |
| Radiator is not heating at all. | Central heating system is off or valve is closed. | Check if your central heating system is operational. Ensure the radiator valve is open. |
| Water leakage from connections. | Loose connections or damaged sealing rings. | Tighten connections. If leakage persists, replace sealing rings. Consult a qualified plumber if unsure. |
| Low heat output. | System pressure is too low. | Check the pressure gauge on your central heating boiler and repressurize the system if needed, following your boiler's instructions. |
