Warnings & Precautions
Read all safety warnings and all instructions in this manual carefully before
using or installing the radiator. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire, serious injury, or all of the
above. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Check that all ancillary components are present and that the product has not
suffered any damage during transit.
NOTE – This radiator is supplied with an electric heating element and is
for use with an electric supply only. The product cannot be used as part of a
central heating system or as a dual source radiator. This radiator has been
pre-filled and adjusted for electric use. No filling is required. Do not
remove any of the seals as this might cause leakages and void the warranty.
Improper adjustment of the fluid level in the radiator can cause malfunction.
The radiator can be used for heating throughout the home provided it is fitted
with and controlled via the supplied heating element. Consult the manual of
the supplied element for full safety, installation and functionality details.
Warning
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Warning
As with conventional radiators, this electric radiator will get hot to the
touch during operation. If the radiator is left on full power for a prolonged
period of time the surface temperature can rise to 70 °C (+/- 5 °C).
Particular attention should be given where children and vulnerable adults are
present.
Warning
When drilling or fixing into walls, floors or ceilings it is essential you
check for pipes and wires before commencing. Please ensure that you wear all
necessary personal protective equipment.

3-2 | Fitting the element
Full instructions for fitting the element can be found within the element
manual. The user must ensure installation is in accordance with the
following:
- The element must be fitted at the bottom of the radiator on the side. It may be fitted on the left or right side.
- The heating element must not be connected to the electric supply until it is secured inside the radiator and correctly orientated.
- The radiator is filled with an anti-freezing liquid exactly to the level required by the element. Ensure that no liquid is lost during installation.
- Do not hang the radiator with the heating element at the top (Figure 1).
3-3 | Wall mounting
-
Check that the wall is strong enough to hold the weight of the pre-filled radiator. The fixings supplied are suitable for use in solid masonry. For any other wall type you will need to source appropriate fixings. If fitting to a plasterboard wall, either fit directly to the wooden struts or otherwise strengthen the wall; do not fix through plasterboard alone. Additional Brackets are available on request.
-
Use the mounting template printed onto the box to measure the positions for the Brackets.
Alternatively, if you are fitting the radiator to a stud wall and struggling to line the Bracket positions up with the studs, it may be useful to choose a custom mounting
position.
a. Choose a distance between the Brackets (A) that corresponds with your specifications.
b. Check that the Brackets (A) slot between the radiator bars correctly. Adjust Bracket distances if necessary.
c. Use a tape measure, spirit level and positions decided in a. and b. to mark the custom drilling positions on the wall.
-
Drill the ten required holes in the wall using a 10mm drill bit and push the Wall Plugs (B) inside.
-
Position the Brackets (A) over the holes and fix in place with the Wall Screws (C).
-
The radiator is now ready to mount. You may choose to add the optional security Bracket at this stage, see Figure 3.
a. Lift the radiator onto the Brackets.
b. OPTIONAL – Position the remaining Bracket pointing downwards above one of the top Brackets, such that the radiator top bar is now locked in place. Mark the Bracket location on the wall before lifting the radiator off the Brackets.
c. Use the 10mm drill bit to drill the
marked Bracket hole and push the remaining Wall Plugs (B) inside. Replace the
radiator, re-position the Bracket (A) and use the remaining Wall Screws (C) to
fix.
3-4 | Connecting the element
Wiring the heating element to the mains is a job for a qualified electrician.
Please consult the element manual for full instructions and safety warnings,
paying special consideration to the following:
- **** The radiator and its element are designed to be used under AC 230 voltage and should be connected to the household fixed wiring by a qualified electrician in accordance with national wiring regulations. Risk of electric shock.
- Do not install the radiator under or in front of a power socket or connector box.
- The power lead must be connected to a socket which must be at least 25cm from the floor. Do not connect the element to the power supply until it is secured within the radiator and correctly orientated, as demonstrated in Figure 1.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will keep the surface of your product
looking new. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners as these will damage the
finish over time.
After the first two hours of heating, it is recommended to bleed this
radiator, to release excess pressure and ensure the best performance.
