FAQs
How do I set the 24-hour timer?
The timer typically has a dial or buttons to set specific on and off times for each 24-hour period. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions specific to your model's timer interface.
Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?
This radiator is designed for general indoor use in rooms like offices, homes, showrooms, and workshops. It is not specifically rated for use in damp or wet environments like bathrooms and should not be used near water sources.
How long does it take to heat up a room?
The time it takes to heat a room depends on factors like room size, insulation, ambient temperature, and the desired temperature setting. As an oil-filled radiator, it provides steady heat rather than rapid blasts, so initial heating may take longer than fan heaters but offers more consistent warmth.
Can I leave this radiator on overnight?
Yes, with the thermostat and timer functions, you can safely set it to operate overnight. The thermostatic control will maintain the set temperature, and the timer allows you to schedule its operation for desired periods.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer's website for specific warranty information. Typically, such products come with a manufacturer's warranty.
Does it make noise when operating?
Oil-filled radiators are generally very quiet during operation, producing only a very faint oil expansion sound or occasional click as the thermostat cycles. They do not have fans, so there is no fan noise.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the mains power switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Verify that the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.
Radiator is not heating sufficiently
Confirm the thermostat is set to the desired temperature. Ensure the room is not excessively large or poorly insulated for the unit's wattage. Check that the timer is not preventing operation. Make sure vents are not blocked.
Radiator has an unusual smell
A slight new appliance smell is normal for the first few uses. If the smell persists or is strong, unplug the unit, allow it to cool completely, and check for any foreign objects or debris obstructing the heating elements. Ensure it's clean.
Radiator shuts off unexpectedly
The safety tip-over switch may have activated if the unit was moved or tilted. Ensure it is standing upright on a level surface. The thermostat may have reached the set temperature, causing it to cycle off; this is normal operation. Check the timer settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the radiator carefully, ensuring all protective packaging is removed.
- Attach the castor wheels to the base of the unit according to the included diagram. This usually involves slotting them into pre-drilled holes and securing them.

Compatibility:
- This radiator requires a standard 230V power supply.
- It is designed for indoor use only in spaces such as offices, homes, showrooms, and workshops.
- Ensure the electrical circuit can support the 2500W power draw.
Care:
- Always ensure the radiator is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the ventilation slots are kept clear of dust and obstructions. A soft brush or vacuum cleaner can be used gently.
- Store in a dry place when not in use, preferably in its original packaging.
