• Plastic caps on each threaded connection of the radiator should be removed and disposed of before installation.
• Ensure that the radiator is positioned in order that it can be easily connected to the central heating system. Refer to the dimensioned sketches to drill your holes at the correct positions.
• Please note radiator valves are not supplied and must be installed. It is recommended that a thermostatic valve be installed to control the local temperature for your comfort and economy.

Warning

• Once fitted this radiator will require plumbing and commissioning into a central heating system. If unsure seek professional advice.
• Panel radiators should never be left without water. Dehydrated panel radiators are pierced due to corrosion effect. In addition, changing the panel radiator water frequently and filling new oxygen rich water causes the corrosion (rusting) to accelerate and thus the panel radiator to perforate prematurely.
• Panel radiators should not be used in outdoor areas. The ambient temperature where the panel radiator is located should not fall below 0°C. Freezing of the water in the installation damages both the panel radiator and the installation.
• This radiator is NOT recommend to be used in centralised national heating systems. If installed in such systems then your warranty will be reduced to a maximum of 2 years only, as the product could be adversely corroded.
• Read all instructions carefully and be sure they are fully understood before fitting the radiator.
• The surface of this product can reach very high temperatures and therefore would not be suitable for use in an environment where there might be risks. Persons with disabilities and young children should not be left unattended near the radiator.
• The radiator is not designed to take excessive weight. Do not hang heavy object or lean body weight against it.
• Never cover the top of your radiator. Covering the top of the radiator prevents air circulation and decreases heating efficiency. In addition, wet clothes cause corrosion in the radiators in the course of time.

Important

• Read and follow all safety rules and operating instructions before using this product.
• Even if the radiators are packaged, they should not be exposed to external environmental conditions (rain, snow, sun etc.). It should be stored in dry and closed storage conditions.
• The shrink-wrapped packaging on the panel radiator should not be removed until the radiator is ready to fit to the wall. Panel radiators on which plaster or paint has been poured cannot be cleaned and restored.
• Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional or other fully competent person and in accordance with the relevant British and European Standards (BS7593:2006 & EN14336:2004)
• This radiator is made from mild steel and is therefore susceptible to corrosion. Install only in systems where the water circuit has a chemical inhibitor added. After the radiator has been installed, apply the correct inhibitor into the system following the manufacturers guidelines. Always maintain the correct level of water pressure in the system. Seek the advice of a competent plumber if unsure.
• This mild steel radiator is not suitable for ‘direct central heating systems’ (where the same hot water flowing through the radiators is used in the kitchen/bathroom taps). This is because no corrosion inhibitors or other chemicals can be added to this type of system. For such direct systems an aluminium or stainless steel radiator should be used. Seek the advice of a competent plumber if unsure.
• Ensure the central heating system is isolated before any work is carried out.
• Please ensure you use the correct tools and fittings and wear all necessary PPE.
