Troubleshooting

Ensure your smartphone is on the same 2.4GHz WiFi network and reset the radiator's connection mode as per the instruction manual.
Radiator fails to heat up

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure the unit is correctly fused and grounded. The radiator utilizes a standard 1/2 BSP connection, which is industry-standard for heating elements. Once installed, download the designated companion app on your smartphone to pair the radiator with your home WiFi network. Maintenance is minimal: simply dust the columns regularly with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the Antique Brass finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or chemical solvents, as these can strip the decorative coating. Periodically check the app for firmware updates to ensure the thermostatic element continues to function correctly with your mobile device.
