  7. Bleed any expansion air from the bleed valve if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the element be installed at the top?
No — this is a fire hazard. The element must always be at the bottom.

Can the element be installed on the left or right side?
Yes — either side is suitable.

Do I need to refill the radiator?
No — it is a sealed prefilled system.

Can I use a plug instead of a fused spur?
No — UK Building Regulations require a fused connection. Installation must be done by a qualified electrician.

Can I use an external timer?
Yes — except for the Sun Digital model (which has a built-in timer).

Does the Chrome finish require special maintenance?
Simply wipe with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the reflective finish.
