Operating Instructions

The Ideal Standard Connect Cube E717001 WC Set features a water-saving dual-flush system.

• Partial Flush (3L): Press the smaller button on the top of the cistern for a reduced water flush, ideal for liquid waste.
• Full Flush (6L): Press the larger button for a full water flush, suitable for solid waste.
• SmartValve Technology: The cistern incorporates SmartValve technology, which delays refilling until the flush cycle is complete, optimizing water usage and saving approximately 10% water per flush.
• Soft-Close Seat: The WC seat is equipped with soft-close hinges. Gently push the seat or lid down, and it will close slowly and silently on its own. Avoid forcing it down, as this can damage the mechanism.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your WC set.

• Cleaning the Bowl: The smooth, fully shrouded design of the bowl makes cleaning simple. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can damage the ceramic surface.
• Cleaning the Seat: The WC seat is detachable for thorough cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Do not use strong detergents or disinfectants, as they may damage the thermosetting plastic.
• Cistern and Mechanism: Periodically check the cistern for any mineral buildup or debris. If necessary, clean the internal components according to standard plumbing practices.
• General Care: Regularly inspect all connections for leaks. Ensure the soft-close mechanism of the seat operates smoothly.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your WC set.

• Continuous Water Flow: If water continuously flows into the bowl, check the flush mechanism inside the cistern. The fill valve or flush valve might need adjustment or cleaning.
• Weak Flush: Ensure the water level in the cistern is correct. Check for any obstructions in the flush mechanism or the rim jets of the bowl.
• Leaking Connections: Tighten any loose connections. If leaks persist, check the seals and washers for damage and replace if necessary.
• Seat Not Soft-Closing: Inspect the soft-close hinges for any damage or obstruction. Ensure the seat is correctly installed and aligned.

For issues not covered here, or if problems persist, please contact Ideal Standard customer support or a qualified plumber.
