3. Operating Instructions

The Geberit Kappa50 Dual-Flush Actuator provides two flushing options to conserve water.

• Full Flush: Press the larger rectangular button on the left side of the actuator panel. This activates a full volume flush, suitable for solid waste.
• Partial Flush: Press the smaller rectangular button on the right side of the actuator panel. This activates a reduced volume flush, suitable for liquid waste, thereby saving water.

The actuator operates via top/front actuation, meaning the buttons are pressed directly on the face of the panel.

Regular cleaning and simple maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Geberit Kappa50 Dual-Flush Actuator.

4.1 Cleaning the Actuator Panel
