In bathrooms, the radiator must never be installed where the switches and other devices may be within the reach of someone in the shower or bathtub.
Mounting
The K SERIES radiator works by means of natural air convection (Figure 1). In order to achieve optimal functioning and an even distribution of heat, the lower part of the radiator, once mounted on the wall, must be at least 10 to 12 cm from the floor, and 30 cm at the most.
As for the sides and above, a minimum distance of between 10-12 cm must be left from any wall or brickwork in order for it to function correctly (Figure 2).
Fixing the supports
Inside the packaging, you will find a fixing kit, and at the base of the radiator, you will find a security support.
- Choose the right part of the wall.
- Place the mounting stencil on the wall, marking the places for the holes.
- Remove the stencil and make the holes in the wall.
- Fix the top supports using the plugs and screws provided, or other suitable for the wall type.
- Check the correct positioning of the lower support.
- Place the radiator in the top supports.
- Screw the lower support to the wall.
Installing template measures depending on the model:

Rointe K Series Electric Radiator-FAQs
How do Rointe electric radiators work?
Rointe radiators use natural air convection. Cold air enters at the bottom, passes through the heating element, and warm air exits at the top to heat the room efficiently.
Are Rointe heaters good?
Yes. They are robust, well-made, and reliable, offering advanced features like Wi-Fi control (on compatible models) and energy-efficient heating.
Are Rointe electric radiators cheap to run?
They are designed to be energy-efficient, especially with features like Fuzzy Logic technology and Open Window Detection. While visually appealing and programmable, costs are comparable to other electric heaters.
How do I set the time on a Rointe radiator without a remote?
Press the main button to enter standby mode, then press and hold for 3 seconds to access the time and date settings. Adjust using the same controls.
Are Rointe heaters oil-filled?
Some Rointe K Series models use oil-filled thermal fluid for faster heat-up times, while others rely on dry element heating. Check your model specifications for details.
How long does it take for a Rointe radiator to heat a room?
Heating speed depends on the room size and radiator wattage. Oil-filled models warm up quickly, and convection technology ensures steady and uniform heat distribution.
Can Rointe radiators be left on overnight?
It’s not recommended to leave space heaters running unattended at night. Use a thermostat or timer to maintain safe temperatures.
How energy-efficient are Rointe radiators?
With low-power Fuzzy Logic and smart sensors, Rointe radiators typically use only 38% of their rated power on average, saving energy while maintaining comfort.
What is the lifespan of a Rointe electric radiator?
With proper care, a Rointe radiator can last around 15 years, comparable to other quality electric heating systems.
How much does it cost to run a Rointe radiator?
Costs depend on wattage and electricity rates. For example, a 2 kW heater running for 1 hour costs roughly £0.49 (based on typical UK rates).
