Hello everyone,
Normally, my apartment has underfloor heating, including in the bathroom. Additionally, there is a towel radiator installed in the bathroom. At the handover of the apartment (ownership/new build), it was explained to me that this radiator is supplied with warm water through the regular heating circuit. Due to the low temperatures in the past few days, and since the underfloor heating was already turned off, I "activated" the radiator (wink). I then noticed that the radiator also has an electrical connection, a standard plug. Does anyone know what this is for? Is it intended to be used if the heating circuit is completely turned off?
Best regards
ReinhardM

You will probably leave the "water thermostat" open to keep the room warm in winter. The floor area alone likely wasn’t sufficient for the heating load calculation, which is why additional wall surface was included.
And the electric heating (e.g., controlled by a timer) or remote control/app switch for the luxury wellness experience.

at least a 700 watt heating element must be installed, because after a short operating time (<1 minute) the electricity meter showed >700 watts (previously <100 watts).
