Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions during installation and use:

• Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure compliance with local plumbing codes and safety standards.
• Ensure all water supply lines are shut off before beginning installation.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection during handling and installation.
• The toilet is made of ceramic and can be heavy. Handle with care to prevent injury or damage.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the ceramic surface or internal components.

Package Contents

Verify that all components are present and undamaged before proceeding with installation. The package typically includes:

• Duravit Starck 3 Wall Mounted Toilet Bowl (Model: 2226090092)
• Durafix 2 Installation Kit
• Toilet Seat (typically sold separately or as part of a complete set, but often included with Durafix models)
• Instruction Manual (this document)

Note: A compatible in-wall carrier system (cistern and frame) is required for installation and is sold separately. Ensure you have the correct carrier for your specific installation.

Setup and Installation

Installation of the Duravit Starck 3 wall-mounted toilet requires an existing or newly installed in-wall carrier system. The Durafix system simplifies the mounting process by providing hidden fixings for a seamless appearance.

Required Tools and Materials (Not Included):

• Adjustable wrench
• Screwdriver set
• Level
• Measuring tape
• Sealant (silicone)
• In-wall carrier system (e.g., Geberit Duofix or similar)
• Water supply connection hoses

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the In-Wall Carrier: Ensure the in-wall carrier system is securely installed according to its manufacturer's instructions. Verify that the water supply and waste connections are correctly positioned and sealed.
2. Install Mounting Rods: Attach the threaded mounting rods from the in-wall carrier to the toilet bowl. The Durafix system typically involves inserting the rods into designated holes on the toilet and securing them from the underside.
3. Connect Water Supply: Connect the flexible water supply hose from the in-wall cistern to the toilet's inlet valve. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn, being careful not to overtighten.
4. Connect Waste Pipe: Connect the toilet's waste outlet to the waste pipe of the in-wall carrier. Ensure a tight, leak-free seal using appropriate gaskets and connectors.
5. Mount the Toilet Bowl: Carefully lift and slide the toilet bowl onto the mounting rods. Ensure it sits flush against the finished wall. Secure the toilet using the Durafix fasteners from underneath, tightening evenly until the toilet is stable and level.
6. Install Toilet Seat: Follow the instructions provided with your specific toilet seat for attachment.
7. Seal Edges: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the perimeter where the toilet meets the wall. This provides a hygienic seal and prevents water ingress.
8. Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply. Flush the toilet several times and inspect all connections for any signs of leaks.

Operating Instructions

The Duravit Starck 3 toilet is a washdown model, designed for efficient flushing. It typically operates with a dual-flush mechanism, controlled by the flush plate on your in-wall cistern.

• Full Flush: Press the larger button or section of the flush plate for a full flush (e.g., 1.6 gallons per flush in the US).
• Reduced Flush: Press the smaller button or section of the flush plate for a reduced flush (e.g., 1.1 gallons per flush), conserving water.

Ensure the flush plate is properly installed and functioning according to its manufacturer's instructions.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygienic performance of your Duravit Starck 3 toilet.

Cleaning the Toilet Bowl:

• Use mild, non-abrasive toilet bowl cleaners. Avoid cleaners containing harsh acids, alkalis, or abrasive particles, as these can damage the ceramic glaze.
• Apply cleaner to the bowl and allow it to sit for the recommended time, then scrub with a soft-bristled toilet brush.
• Flush thoroughly to rinse.
• For models featuring Duravit's HygieneGlaze, this special ceramic glaze offers antibacterial properties, making cleaning easier and promoting hygiene.

Cleaning the Exterior and Seat:

• Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
• For the toilet seat (typically plastic), use a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can discolor or damage the seat material.
• Regularly check the toilet seat hinges for tightness and adjust if necessary.

General Tips:

• Do not use in-tank drop-in cleaners, as these can damage internal components of the cistern and void warranties.
• Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
