Question 1

How to turn off an electric towel dryer HEALLUX ALDEA (models ETC01-13 and ETC01-15)?

Accepted Answer

To turn off your electric towel dryer ALDEA (models ETC01-13 and ETC01-15), press the power/standby button located on the LCD digital control panel. The button is marked with the symbol ©. This action will turn off the display and completely stop the heating and the fan.

If you only want to stop the turbo fan while keeping the heating on, press and hold the timer/turbo button (marked ⓸) for 3 seconds. This will disable the ventilation without turning off the radiator itself.

For users with a pilot wire manager, the standby mode completely stops the device according to the received commands. You can only control the temperature and the open window detection option in this mode.

For maximum safety, especially during prolonged absence, you can also unplug the device from the power outlet. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the manual requires that you always disconnect the power source.

Note: The device has an open window detection feature. In case of a sudden drop in temperature due to a window opening, the device will automatically stop and a symbol will blink on the screen. Press the power/standby button once to restart it.

Question 2

How do I adjust the heating temperature of the HEALLUX ALDEA electric towel warmer?

Accepted Answer

To adjust the temperature of your ALDEA electric towel warmer (model ETC01-13 1300W or ETC01-15 1500W), use the buttons located on the digital control panel. First, press the © button (power/standby) to turn on the screen. The device will then automatically start in Comfort mode.

To adjust the temperature in Comfort mode, press the + and - buttons to quickly increase or decrease the temperature. The Comfort mode allows you to set a constant temperature between 5°C and 35°C. The temperature you choose will become the default temperature for Comfort mode each time it is turned on.

If you wish to use another operating mode, press the M button (mode selection) to access the different available options. The Eco mode offers a temperature range between 15°C and 31.5°C (automatically 3.5°C lower than your Comfort setting). The Frost Protection mode maintains a fixed temperature of 7°C, which cannot be changed, ideal for protecting your installation against freezing during prolonged absences.

The device is also equipped with three programmable heating programs (P1, P2, and P3) that allow you to set time slots with different modes (Comfort, Eco, or Frost Protection) according to the days of the week. Once your mode is selected via the M button, adjust the temperature with the + and - buttons. To validate your changes, press the modify/validate button.

Your ALDEA towel warmer also features a turbo ventilation that operates simultaneously with the radiator. Press and hold the timer/turbo ventilation button (5%) for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate it as needed. On first use, remember to set the time and date to be able to use the programming functions.

Question 3

Why does the screen of the HEALLUX ALDEA 1300W towel dryer remain white while the device is on?

Accepted Answer

If the LCD screen of your ALDEA ETC01-13 or ETC01-15 towel dryer remains white while powered on, several simple checks can resolve the issue.

Check that the device is not in standby. The ALDEA towel dryer turns on by pressing the © button (On/Standby). If you have just plugged it in, the screen may appear inactive. Press the power button once to turn on the screen and see the current mode (Comfort, Eco, or Frost Protection).

Unlock the keypad if necessary. The keypad may be locked, preventing the display from responding. To unlock the screen, press the © and © buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. A symbol will disappear from the screen if the keypad was locked.

Test restarting the device. Unplug the towel dryer from the electrical outlet for about 30 seconds. This interruption allows the internal electronics to fully reset. Plug the device back in and press the power button. The screen should then display the Comfort mode or the last used mode with the set temperature.

Check the power supply. Ensure that the outlet is working by testing another device on it. Check that the power cord is not damaged and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. The ALDEA towel dryer operates at 230 V - 50 Hz.

Test the responsiveness of the buttons. Press the © (increase) or © (decrease) temperature buttons to check if the screen responds. If the display changes and you can adjust the temperature between 5°C and 35°C in Comfort mode, the device is functioning correctly and the white screen was simply in standby.

If the problem persists. If the screen remains white with no response despite these checks, the device is not heating, and the power supply is confirmed, it is likely an internal defect of the LCD panel or the electronic board. Contact HEALLUX customer service (importer, Toulouse, France) or an authorized repairer for diagnosis and warranty repair.

Question 4

Why is the blower of my HEALLUX ALDEA towel dryer remaining cold?

Accepted Answer

If the blower of your ALDEA ETC01-13 or ETC01-15 towel dryer remains cold, the problem usually stems from improper configuration or an obstruction. Important to know: the blower operates simultaneously with the radiator and cannot be cold if the device is heating properly. If the blown air is cold, it means the heating is not functioning.

First, check that the turbo ventilation is activated: Press and hold the button (5%) for 3 seconds to turn the turbo ventilation on or off. When activated, the WD symbol should appear on the digital display. If the ç symbol (radiator) does not show, the heating is not operational.

Check the thermostat setting: Ensure that the set temperature is correctly adjusted. In Comfort mode, set a temperature between 5°C and 35°C. In Eco mode, the temperature should be between 15°C and 31.5°C. Wait a few minutes after adjusting: it takes time for the heating to reach temperature and for the blower to become warm. Also, check that the device is not in Frost Protection mode (7°C unmodifiable and very little heating).

Check the power supply and controls: Ensure that the towel dryer is properly plugged into a functional outlet. Check that the associated circuit breaker or fuse has not tripped. If the device is in Pilot Wire mode, the heating is controlled by an external manager (timer, programmer): contact your installer if this mode is activated and the heating is not working.

Check the air intake of the blower: The air intake must not be obstructed by towels or other objects. Important: no towel should pass between the wall and the air intake filter. An obstruction can cause harmful overheating and irreversibly damage the blower.

If after these checks the air remains cold and the radiator does not heat, this indicates an internal malfunction (defective heating element or problem in the thermal circuit). In this case, contact the HEALLUX SAS after-sales service in Toulouse or a qualified installer. A repair requiring the opening of the radiator must be carried out by the manufacturer or its distribution network.
