Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the electriQ radiator is flexible, catering to both DIY enthusiasts and those preferring professional hardwiring. When plugging into a standard 13-amp socket, ensure the cable is managed safely away from walking paths. If choosing the hardwired route, ensure the connection is performed by a qualified electrician to maintain safety standards and warranty validity.
To maintain the unit, occasionally wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation on the columns. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the finish. The radiator is designed for low maintenance, but ensure the area around the unit remains clear to allow for proper air circulation and maximum heat efficiency.
