Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up at all

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning. Ensure the radiator valve is fully open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air, which can prevent water circulation.

Radiator is only partially hot

This often indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator, starting with the air vent, until water begins to escape, then close the vent. Check if the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is faulty or stuck.

Loud noises (banging, hissing) from the radiator

Hissing sounds are usually due to trapped air; bleed the radiator. Banging noises can indicate water hammer or pipes expanding/contracting; check pipe fixings and ensure adequate system pressure.

Leaks from radiator connections

Turn off the heating system and isolate the radiator. Tighten the leaking connection slightly. If the leak persists, the fitting may need to be replaced by a qualified professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Stelrad Softline Silhouette radiator should be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure correct and safe operation. The radiator is designed for standard central heating system pipework. Ensure all connections are securely made and the system is properly bled to remove air.

Compatibility:

This radiator is compatible with standard wet central heating systems. Crucially, it is designed to work efficiently with low-temperature heating systems, making it suitable for use with modern condensing boilers, heat pumps, and underfloor heating manifolds. Always check that your existing or new heating system can adequately support the radiator's output requirements.

Care:

To maintain the appearance of the radiator, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint finish. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent diluted in water can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth and then dried with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the radiator is cool before cleaning.
