Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator does not heat. | No power supply; thermostat set too low; overheat protection activated. | Check power connection and circuit breaker. Increase thermostat setting. Unplug and allow to cool for 30 minutes. |
| Bluetooth connection fails. | Bluetooth not enabled on phone; app issue; radiator too far. | Ensure Bluetooth is on. Restart app/phone. Move closer to radiator. Re-pair device. |
| Radiator makes unusual noises. | Expansion/contraction of metal (normal); loose mounting. | Minor clicking is normal. Check mounting screws for tightness. If noise persists or is loud, contact support. |
| Room not reaching desired temperature. | Radiator undersized for room; open window detection active; poor insulation. | Refer to the heating area guide. Close windows. Improve room insulation. Consider additional heating if necessary. |
