held responsible for any de-t / re-t costs where faulty product has been ed.
If any fault is found with materials or workmanship, it must be reported immediately
to the manufacturer. Remedial acon will be taken, based on informaon received,
on condion that:
a. Full details are supplied to the manufacturer;
b. The product has not been modied or tampered with;

inform the Seller. Otherwise it is assumed that the Seller provided the Con-
sumer with a product without any defects (in parcular paint coang faults).
3. The warranty periods are:
a. 8 years for steel radiator paint coang in all RAL and special colours,
b. 8 years for water ghtness of steel radiators,
c. 5 Years for Chrome Finish
d. 2 years for electric components in electric radiators and heang elements
designed for radiators.
4. The product serial label placed on the back of the radiator and evidence of
purchase are prerequisites for any claims resulng from the warranty. The
Manufacturer may reject the claim if any of the above has not been supplied.
5. The warranty does not cover:
a. product faults or any problems resulng from incorrect (not in compliance
with the manual) installaon or use;

4
b. product faults resulng from using the radiator in deance of the require-
ments specied in the aached manual — in parcular those regarding wa-
ter characteriscs and pressure inside the radiator;
c. damage caused by the Consumer aer receiving the product from the Seller.
6. The warranty does not apply to any claims related to technical and funconal
features of the radiator, as long as they conform with those stated in the

9. It is recommended to install valves on the supply and return pipes making it pos-
sible to disconnect the radiator from the central heang installaon. If valves are
not ed the Consumer covers the extra cost of radiator dismantling.
10. If the claim is accepted, the Manufacturer will repair the faulty product. The me
required for the repair will be agreed with each Consumer individually. If the prod-

PRODUCT INFORMATION
1. MATERIALS:
the radiator is made of low-carbon steel, its surface is powder coated or
chrome plated.
2. TECHNICAL PARAMETERS:
detailed product data can be found on the last page of this booklet.
3. INTENDED USE:
heang the interiors with normal air humidity and without any corrosive fac-
tors (this also applies to bathrooms, kitchens etc.). The powder coated version
of the radiator can also be used as a dryer for towels and clothes.
CAUTION! Drying towels or clothes on the chrome plated version is not
allowed.

Zone X stands for a water source (meaning any sink, shower, bathtub or toilet).
Zone A includes the space directly above zone X as well as 1 m to the le and
1 m to the right. If the radiators are to be installed in zone A they need to
have an addional zinc coang oered at extra cost by the Supplier. Installing
a radiator without a zinc coang in zone A will void the warranty. Zone B is
safe for installaon of steel radiators with standard coang.
We recommend having the radiators installed by an installaon professional.
5. WATER QUALITY:
the radiator is intended for use in sealed central heang systems.
CAUTION! The radiator must not be installed in open-vented or domesc hot
water systems.
Remember to bleed your central heang system and the radiator.
The radiator is intended for use in central heang systems consisng of car-
bon steel pipes or plasc pipes with diusion barrier.

7
Detailed requirements concerning sealed central heang systems, water
quality and operaon of such installaons are dened in norms applicable in
a given country.
CAUTION! Installaon parameters must not exceed the radiator operang pa-
rameters dened on the last page of this manual.
CAUTION! The heang medium must not contain ethylene or propylene glycol.
6. THE RADIATOR FULLY COMPLIES WITH THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS:
Regulaon (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
9 March 2011 regulang the condions for the markeng of construcon
products, and harmonised standards:
EN 442-1 Radiators and convectors — Part 1: Technical specicaons and
requirements,
EN 442-2 Radiators and convectors — Part 2: Test methods and rang.

GENERAL INSTALLATION
NOTES
1. This product should only be ed by a qualied plumber to NVQ (Naonal
Vocaonal Qualicaon) or SNVQ (Scosh Naonal Vocaonal Qualicaon)
Level 3. Should the installaon be completed by a non-qualied person then
the guarantee may be considered invalid.
2. Special cauon must be taken while transporng, installing or dismantling the
radiator in order to avoid any harm or damages.
3. The place designated for the installaon of the radiator should be equipped
with central heang installaon pipe endings matching the radiator connec-
on spacing specied in the technical specicaons secon.
4. It is recommended that walls are fully led before accessory installaon. This
ensures that the product is installed at to the le face and allows product to
be easily removed if required in the future.
5. We recommend the use of valves on the supply and the return of the radiator.
6. When converng the radiator into an electric unit (lled with the heang me-
dium and not connected to central heang installaon) you must consider
and bear in mind the thermal expansion of the heang medium — pouring
too much liquid into the radiator may result in crical pressure levels and,
ulmately, cause damage to the radiator.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Ensure the room is well heated and venlated.
2. Be careful while pung hands between radiator pipes.
3. While drying clothes bear in mind the maximum temperature allowed for
a given type of fabric in order to avoid damaging them.
CAUTION! Avoid hanging on your radiator fabrics with bleeding dyes (new
towels, fabrics with a considerable amount of synthec bres) and fabrics
soaked with chemicals as they can cause permanent discolouraon of radiator
paint coang. The Manufacturer’s warranty does not cover such faults.
4. Aer removing towels or clothes the radiator can be very hot. Be careful and
wait unl the radiator temperature returns to a safe level.
5. If the radiator is equipped with an electric heang element please read the
aached manual carefully before using the product.
6. Do not put loads exceeding 5 kg on the radiator.
7. Any changes in the construcon of the radiator and/or warranty repairs can
only be conducted by the Manufacturer.
8. Observe the operang parameters specied in the PRODUCT INFORMA-
TION secon. This applies in parcular to:
a. the operang pressure, because excessive pressure can destroy the radia-
tor and bring about other damages,
b. the quality of the heang medium (wrong pH value or oxygen saturaon
can cause radiator corrosion); connecng the radiator to the domesc
hot water system or relling the installaon with liquids having unsuitable
chemical properes can also bring about radiator damage.

FAILURE SITUATIONS
In case of any signs of a radiator fault, such as:
— a leak of the heang medium,
— excessive pressure (manifested by deformaon of pipes),
— any other abnormal symptoms,
immediately turn o the valves and contact the Manufacturer.
MAINTENANCE
1. Do not allow the temperature of the heang medium to fall below 0°C.
2. We recommend keeping the radiator clean. The radiator can be cleaned with
domesc cleaning products except for those containing solvents or abrasives.
The chrome plate we use on our taps is very durable, nevertheless care should
be taken when cleaning them. They should be cleaned only with warm soapy
water followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a so cloth. All
nishes are vulnerable to acid aack and some strong substances such as
household cleaners, disinfectants, denture cleaners, hair dyes can cause dam-
age to the surface.
3. Applying any addional layers of paint or lacquer to the radiator is not allowed.
