Cleaning & Maintenance

The Ecostrad Ecowärme Electric Radiator uses an unenclosed aluminium convection element to deliver fast heat distribution. This can reach higher internal temperatures when compared to other radiator products. However, the outer surface temperature is not affected by this and the element cannot be touched. The higher internal heat level can however cause dust particles in the air to burn when they pass through the unit. We therefore recommend in particularly dusty environments cleaning the radiator on a regular basis and where possible minimising the production of dust or smoke to help prevent potential wall blackening.
When cleaning, always:

•  Ensure the radiator is disconnected from the power before attempting any cleaning or maintenance. Failure to do so may incur risk of electric shock.
•  Clean the radiator with a dampened cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or chemicals which may damage the radiator.
• Allow the radiator to fully dry before reconnecting to the power.

The warranty does not cover any defect arising from damage, negligence, usage outside the product’s intended purpose or fair wear and tear. The warranty is only valid when the unit has been used at the specified supply voltage, and in accordance with all conditions specified in this manual. The warranty will be void if the heater has been covered, tampered with or opened in any way, or if the ratings label has been removed.

The warranty does not cover failures and faults due to force majeure, accidental damage, mishandling, external impact, chemical agents or atmospheric phenomena, incorrect use of the device, the purchaser’s faulty electrical installations, transporting the device or problems caused by the device being handled by persons not authorised by Ecostrad. If the unit has been hardwired, an invoice may be required to confirm the work was carried out by a qualified professional. Ecostrad cannot accept responsibility for damage, loss or injury caused by incorrect installation, maintenance, cleaning or covering the device.
The warranty is a contract with the original purchaser and does not transfer if the unit is re-sold, gifted or inherited. Proof of purchase, including order number and order confirmation or invoice, will be required if a claim is made. The warranty covers only the model of heater shown on the purchase invoice. The warranty covers the repair or replacement of the defective product only and Ecostrad shall have no liability for installation costs or consequential losses however incurred. The unit is sold as a DIY product; whilst hardwiring is permitted within the terms of the warranty – provided evidence can be produced that the work was performed by a qualified installer – no compensations will be offered for the installer’s costs in the event of a claim. Claims must be made with the establishment where the device was purchased. This warranty does not affect the customer’s consumer rights.
