Radiator In Bathroom

I have normal gas central heating and have just had a new radiator in the bathroom. It has the usual 'flumes' inside and what is like a white metal cage over the top. I want to know whether it is safe to put a towel completely over the whole radiator in order to dry it. My flatmate does this and I worry that the heat cannot escape and it might overheat. Or am I thinking of convector heaters?

You are thinking of convector heaters. It can't do any harm - the boiler thermostat protects the system from overheating.

..there's no way a conventional "wet" radiator would be adversely affected by covering ...
