One of the advantages of using oil in our radiators is the fact that oil retains heat well, meaning that you only need to turn on your radiator every now and then to maintain the temperature of the liquid. We’ve included some important safety features such as overheat protection and a tip-over switch which turns off the unit should it be accidentally knocked over. Please note: Oil filled radiators can get very hot, therefore we recommend standing it a few feet away from walls and objects and keeping it out of the way of young children and pets. Do not use the radiator in damp or poorly ventilated areas and avoid leaving it unattended for lengthy periods of time.
