Cleaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is turned off, cold, and disconnected from the mains. Use a soft, damp cloth and neutral detergent. Remove dust from the surface and inside at least twice a year using a vacuum cleaner.
Troubleshooting
If the radiator does not heat, check the power connection, increase the temperature set point, or ensure the safety device has not tripped. If the appliance heats continuously, reduce the temperature set point. For persistent issues or oil leaks, contact a qualified professional.
