How it works
These products are natural convector heaters and
work by air convection currents passing through
the high efciency aluminium nned copper tube
heat exchanger through which hot water passes
supplied by your central heating system.
As the air heats up it increases in volume and rises
which in turn draws low level room air in through
the heater which is in turn heated.
How to operate
This product is tted with a Thermostatic
Radiator Valve (TRV) to enable the user to set
and control the ambient room temperature.
Turning the control knob clockwise will increase
the temperature setting. The indications (0, ❄, I,
II, III, IIII, V) on the control knob range between 5
and 28°C. In position 0 the valve will open when
temperature drops to 5°C.
Once the TRV is set, it will automatically adjust
the system ow (on/off) to maintain room
temperature. Follow TRV instructions to maximise
life expectancy.
Tamper setting
The head can be set to a single, non-adjustable
position. Lower the locking mechanism as
described previously and rotate the head until the
indicator is pointing to the desired setting. Rotate
the locking mechanism reset mark anti-clockwise
to the desired setting and push the locking
mechanism up against the head until it locks into
position.
To remove the setting limit, simply lower the
mechanism again and rotate until the reset marks
are aligned and move upwards back into position.
The valve can now be adjusted through its full
setting range.
Maintenance
The valve should be opened to maximum in the
summer to reduce the risk of sticking. Other
suggestions would be to ensure the system is
fully power ushed prior to installing the TRV.
Proprietary inhibitors should be added to the
system when relling.
Cleaning the valve head
The thermostatic head can be cleaned using a
mild soap solution. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PAD,
BLEACHING AGENTS OR SOLVENTS etc as they
will cause damage to the valve head.
