ENCOUNTERED
The surface of the ra-
diator is very hot
The fan switches off
prematurely
Dirty marks appear on
the wall around the
radiator
The top and bottom
rails are cooler than
the rest of the heated
towel rail
The heated towel rail
makes a continuous
noise of vibration while
it warms up
Daily repetition in 24h
Auto mode is not wor-
king.
It is normal that the heated towel rail will get hot when it is running, but the
maximum surface temperature is limited by the French Electricity Perfor-
mance standard. However, if you judge that your radiator is still too hot,
check that the power is suitable for the size of your room (we recommend
50W per cubic metre) and that the heated towel rail is not in a draught which
will disturb its setting.
- Check that the air inlet and outlet grilles are not obstructed. If they are,
clean them (refer to the paragraph on Maintenance).
- Check that the temperature of the room has not reached too high a level.
If it is, it is normal that the fan should stop. Simply wait till the ambient tem-
perature goes down before you re-use the Boost mode.
- If your home is more than 1000 m (3,300 feet) above sea level, the air is less
dense which may lead to the room heating up more quickly. So this pro-
blem may recur, but it will not adversely affect the life expectancy of the
components in the appliance.
These marks depend entirely on the quality of the air (candle smoke, cigarette
smoke, poor ventilation, etc).
- The top rails are not completely filled, to allow for expansion of the ther-
modynamic fluid. They only heat by conduction.
- The lower rails channel the return of the fluid as it cools down.
Check that it is solidly fixed to its support.
If the heated towel rail is fastened to a hollow wall, this may cause vibration.
Check that the electrical power supply is not cut off.
If necessary, please refer to Page 21 "Changing the starting time for 24h Auto
mode".
