2. Package Contents

The CORNAT AP3200 YIN Cover Plate package typically includes:

• 1 x CORNAT AP3200 YIN Cover Plate (White, Plastic)
• Mounting hardware (screws, rods, or clips, depending on the specific cistern model)
• Installation instructions (this manual)

Note: This cover plate is designed to be compatible with CORNAT concealed cisterns, specifically matching elements VWC352 and WEK2. Ensure your cistern is compatible before installation.

3. Installation Instructions

Installation of the CORNAT AP3200 YIN Cover Plate requires access to the concealed cistern frame. It is recommended to have basic plumbing knowledge or consult a professional for installation.

1. Preparation: Ensure the cistern is correctly installed within the wall and the flush mechanism is accessible. Identify the mounting points for the cover plate on the cistern frame.
2. Attach Actuator Rods/Pins: Depending on your cistern model, attach the provided actuator rods or pins to the flush mechanism. These rods will connect the cover plate buttons to the flush valve. Adjust their length according to the cistern manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper flush activation.
3. Position the Cover Plate: Carefully align the CORNAT AP3200 cover plate with the mounting frame of the cistern. Ensure the actuator rods pass through the designated holes on the back of the cover plate.
4. Secure the Cover Plate: Once aligned, secure the cover plate to the cistern frame using the provided screws or clips. Tighten them gently to avoid overtightening, which could damage the plastic. The plate should sit flush against the wall.
5. Test Functionality: Press both the small (reduced flush) and large (full flush) buttons on the cover plate to ensure they activate the flush mechanism correctly and return to their original position smoothly. Adjust actuator rod lengths if necessary.

For detailed cistern-specific installation, refer to the instruction manual provided with your CORNAT concealed cistern (e.g., VWC352 or WEK2).
