Safety Information

Please read all safety instructions carefully before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Heat Protection: While the cover provides a barrier, radiators can still be hot. Exercise caution, especially with children and pets, to prevent direct contact with the hot radiator surface.
• Stability: Ensure the radiator cover is assembled correctly and placed securely. Do not lean heavily on the cover or place excessively heavy items on the top shelf.
• Ventilation: The design allows for heat circulation. Do not block the slats or the open areas of the cover, as this may impede heat distribution.
• Assembly: Keep small parts and hardware away from children during assembly.

Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Vivo Technologies Radiator Cover is designed to be straightforward. All necessary fittings are supplied. Please follow these steps carefully:

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Identify each part according to the provided diagram in the separate detailed installation manual.
2. Assemble Side Panels: Attach the support brackets/legs to the bottom of the side panels using the provided screws. Ensure they are securely fastened.
3. Attach Front Slatted Panels: Connect the front slatted panels to the side panels. Use the designated dowels and screws to create a sturdy frame. Ensure the slats are facing outwards.
4. Secure Top Shelf: Place the top shelf panel onto the assembled frame. Align the pre-drilled holes and secure it with the remaining screws.
5. Position the Cover: Carefully lift and position the assembled radiator cover over your radiator. Ensure it is stable and does not obstruct any radiator controls or vents.

Operating and Usage

The Vivo Technologies Radiator Cover is designed for passive use. Once assembled and placed over your radiator, it serves multiple functions:

• Decorative Enhancement: The modern grey finish and horizontal slat design provide an instant aesthetic upgrade to your room, concealing the radiator.
• Additional Shelf Space: The sturdy top surface acts as a convenient shelf for lightweight decorative items, photos, or small plants.
• Safety Barrier: It creates a physical barrier, reducing the risk of accidental contact with a hot radiator surface, which is particularly beneficial for households with children or pets.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and integrity of your radiator cover, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the slats and top shelf to prevent build-up.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your radiator cover, consider the following common solutions:

• Instability: If the cover feels wobbly, ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that it is placed on a level surface.
• Loose Slats: In rare cases, slats may become loose. Re-secure them with appropriate screws. If the original screws are insufficient, consider using slightly larger screws for a more secure fit, ensuring they do not protrude.
• Heat Retention: If you notice excessive heat retention, ensure the cover is not too close to the radiator and that the slats are not obstructed.
