- Manual Override (if applicable): Some models may feature a manual flush button for additional flushing. Refer to specific product documentation if present.
5. Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Clean the ceramic surface regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
- Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring powders, or strong chemical cleaners (e.g., bleach, acid-based cleaners) as these can damage the ceramic finish and electronic components.
- Wipe the sensor area with a soft, damp cloth to ensure it remains free of dirt and debris.
Battery Replacement:
When the battery power is low, the flush mechanism may become inconsistent or stop working. Replace batteries as follows:
- Turn off the water supply to the urinal.
