3. Installing the Heating Element
The heating element must be installed at the bottom of the radiator to prevent dry running and ensure proper operation. The radiator must be filled with a suitable heat transfer fluid (not supplied) before installing the heating element.
- Fill the radiator with a suitable heat transfer fluid. Ensure the radiator is completely filled and bleed any air using the bleed valve.
- Insert the 300W heating element into the designated connection port at the bottom of the radiator. The connection size is G1/2".
- Tighten the heating element securely to prevent leaks.
- Connect the heating element's power cable to a suitable electrical outlet. The cable length is 1.15m.
