5. Operating Instructions
Your LuxeBath Iron EM radiator is equipped with a thermostat for temperature control and an anti-freeze position.
5.1 Temperature Control
- The thermostat has 5 adjustable levels, allowing you to set the desired room temperature.
- The setting range is 0-30 °C.
- Turn the thermostat head to the desired setting. Higher numbers correspond to higher temperatures.
5.2 Anti-Freeze Protection
- The thermostat includes a "0" position and an anti-freeze protection setting.
- When set to the anti-freeze position, the radiator will maintain a minimum temperature of 6 °C to prevent freezing of the heating system.
5.3 Towel Warming Function

- Place a container under the bleed valve to catch any water.
- Carefully open the bleed valve with a radiator key or screwdriver.
- Allow the air to escape until water starts to flow out steadily.
- Close the bleed valve tightly.
- Check the pressure of your heating system and top up if necessary.
