Installation Steps (Professional Installation Recommended):

1. Prepare the Wall Frame: Install the compatible wall-hung toilet frame system according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure it is securely fixed to the wall and floor, and that the water supply and waste connections are correctly positioned and sealed. The frame must be level and at the correct height.
2. Connect Waste Pipe: Connect the toilet's waste outlet to the waste pipe of the wall frame system. Ensure a watertight seal using appropriate gaskets and connectors.
3. Mount the Toilet Bowl: Carefully lift the toilet bowl and align the mounting holes with the threaded rods extending from the wall frame. Slide the toilet onto the rods.
4. Secure the Toilet: Use the provided fixing set (washers, nuts, caps) to secure the toilet bowl firmly to the wall frame. Tighten evenly to prevent stress on the ceramic, but do not overtighten.
5. Install Seat and Cover: Attach the compatible toilet seat and cover (sold separately) according to their specific instructions.
6. Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply to the cistern and allow it to fill. Flush the toilet several times, checking all connections for any signs of leaks.
7. Apply Sealant: Once satisfied with the installation and leak-free operation, apply a bead of silicone sealant around the base of the toilet where it meets the finished wall, if desired, for a neat finish and to prevent water ingress.

Operating Instructions

The Roca Meridian A342248000 toilet operates with a dual-flush mechanism, which is part of the separately purchased cistern and flush plate system. This allows for water conservation by offering two flush volumes.

Flushing the Toilet:

• Full Flush: Press the larger button on your flush plate for a full volume flush, typically used for solid waste.
• Half Flush: Press the smaller button on your flush plate for a reduced volume flush, typically used for liquid waste.

Ensure the flush plate is correctly installed and adjusted according to its manufacturer's instructions for optimal performance.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Roca toilet.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Use mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents and a soft cloth or sponge.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or strong acids, as these can damage the ceramic surface and any chrome or plastic components.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• For stubborn stains, consult a professional cleaning guide for ceramic sanitaryware.

General Care:

• Periodically check all connections for tightness and signs of wear.
• Ensure the toilet seat and cover hinges are clean and free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
• If you notice any persistent leaks or issues with flushing, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact a qualified plumber.
