Setup and Installation

Installation of the Duravit 0924100005 Cistern should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure compliance with local plumbing codes and proper functionality. This cistern is intended for use with compatible Duravit Caro toilet bowls.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Adjustable wrench
• Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead)
• Sealant/Wax ring (if installing a new toilet bowl)
• Level

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Toilet Bowl: Ensure the toilet bowl is securely installed and leveled on the floor flange.
2. Attach Cistern to Bowl: Carefully align the cistern with the bolt holes on the back of the toilet bowl. Place the rubber gasket (if supplied separately) between the cistern and the bowl to create a watertight seal.
3. Secure the Cistern: Insert the cistern bolts through the holes and secure them with washers and nuts from underneath the toilet bowl. Tighten evenly until the cistern is snug and stable, but do not overtighten to avoid cracking the ceramic.
4. Connect Water Supply: Connect the water supply line to the bottom supply inlet on the cistern. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the connection, ensuring a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
5. Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply slowly and allow the cistern to fill. Inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections slightly if leaks are detected.
6. Test Flushing Mechanism: Once the cistern is full, test the flushing mechanism to ensure proper operation.

Operation

The Duravit 0924100005 Cistern operates with a standard flushing mechanism. To flush the toilet, press the flush button located on the top of the cistern. The high-efficiency design ensures effective waste removal with minimal water usage.

Flushing Guidelines:

• Press the flush button firmly and release.
• Allow the cistern to refill completely before attempting another flush.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Duravit cistern.

Cleaning:

• Clean the exterior of the cistern with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as these can damage the finish.

Internal Components:

• Periodically inspect the internal components (fill valve, flush valve) for wear or mineral buildup.
• If necessary, clean components with a soft brush and vinegar solution to remove mineral deposits.
• Ensure the water level in the cistern is set correctly, typically indicated by a waterline mark inside the tank.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your cistern.

Issue: Cistern not filling or filling slowly.

• Check Water Supply: Ensure the water supply valve to the toilet is fully open.
• Inspect Fill Valve: The fill valve might be obstructed by debris or mineral buildup. Turn off the water supply, remove the cistern lid, and inspect the fill valve for blockages.

Issue: Toilet runs continuously or leaks.

• Check Flush Valve Seal: The flush valve seal (flapper or canister seal) may be worn or improperly seated, allowing water to leak into the bowl. Replace if necessary.
• Adjust Water Level: The water level might be too high, causing water to overflow into the flush valve. Adjust the fill valve to lower the water level.
• Inspect Connections: Check all external water connections for leaks and tighten if needed.

For persistent issues, it is recommended to contact a qualified plumber or Duravit customer support.
