Setup and Installation
Installation of a wall-mounted WC requires specialized knowledge and should be performed by a qualified professional. Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, damage, or improper function.
Required Tools and Materials (Not Included):
- Appropriate wall-mounting frame/cistern system
- Plumbing tools
- Sealants
- Measuring tape, level
Installation Steps (Professional Guidance Recommended):
- Preparation: Ensure the wall-mounting frame and concealed cistern are correctly installed according to their respective manufacturer's instructions. Verify all water supply and waste connections are in place.
- Mounting: Carefully attach the Laufen Pro WC to the mounting bolts protruding from the wall frame. Ensure the WC is level and securely fastened.
- Connections: Connect the water inlet and waste outlet pipes to the WC, ensuring all seals are properly seated and tightened to prevent leaks.
- Testing: After installation, perform a flush test to check for leaks and proper flushing action. Inspect all connections thoroughly.
- Finishing: Apply appropriate sealant around the base of the WC where it meets the wall or tiles, if necessary, to prevent water ingress.
Operating Instructions
The Laufen Pro WC operates like a standard toilet. To flush, activate the flush mechanism on your concealed cistern's flush plate. The flat-flush design ensures efficient waste removal with minimal water usage.
- Flushing: Press the appropriate button on your flush plate. Most modern cisterns offer a dual-flush option for water conservation.
- LCC Coating: The Laufen Clean Coat (LCC) surface is designed to be exceptionally smooth, preventing dirt, limescale, and bacteria from adhering. This makes cleaning significantly easier and more hygienic.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygienic performance of your Laufen Pro WC.
Cleaning the LCC Surface:
- Use only mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, scouring powders, or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the LCC coating and the ceramic surface.
- Wipe the surface with a soft cloth or sponge and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- For stubborn stains, a diluted solution of vinegar or citric acid can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
General Maintenance:
- Regularly check for any signs of leaks around the connections.
- Ensure the flush mechanism in the cistern is functioning correctly. Refer to the cistern manufacturer's manual for maintenance of internal components.
- Do not dispose of non-biodegradable items in the toilet, as this can cause blockages.
