What temperature range can I set?
You can set the room temperature precisely between 7°C and 30°C using the thermostatic control.
What does 'dual-fuel' mean in this context?
For a towel rail, 'dual-fuel' means it can be heated either by your central heating system or by the electric element, allowing you to use it independently of your main heating.
Troubleshooting
Element not powering on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged in or that the hardwired connection is correct. Verify the circuit breaker is not tripped.
Wi-Fi connection failed
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz, not 5GHz. Check that the password is correct and the element is within router range. Restart your router and the heating element.
Temperature is inaccurate
Ensure the electronic temperature sensor is not obstructed by direct sunlight or drafts. Allow the room temperature to stabilize after setting changes.
Heating cycle does not start
