How to use
The radiator should be installed by a qualified professional to ensure the heating system is properly balanced and the connections are leak-free. The bottom connection allows for the use of integrated thermostatic valves, which enable precise temperature control. Once installed, the system should be filled with water and bled to remove any trapped air, ensuring the entire surface area of the panel heats up evenly.
What to consider before purchase
- Check the heat output requirements for your specific room size
- Ensure your existing piping layout is compatible with bottom-connection radiators
- Verify that the wall structure can support the weight of the steel radiator
- Note that mounting brackets are not included with this specific unit
Usage recommendations
To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to keep the area around the radiator clear of furniture and curtains to ensure unobstructed air circulation. Regularly check the valves for smooth operation and bleed the radiator annually before the start of the heating season to maintain maximum efficiency.
