Installation Instructions

Pre-installation Checks:
- Ensure the wall structure can support the weight of the urinal (7.22 kg net).

- Carefully position the urinal onto the mounting bar and secure it.
- Ensure the integrated siphon with rubber membrane is correctly seated to prevent odors.
Operation
The Franke Campus CMPX538WF is a waterless urinal, meaning it does not require a water flush for operation. Its design relies on a specialized siphon system with a rubber membrane that creates an airtight seal, preventing odors from escaping the drainage system.
Urine flows into the oval basin and passes through the integrated siphon. The rubber membrane within the siphon opens under the weight of the liquid and closes automatically once the liquid has passed, effectively sealing off the drain and maintaining hygiene.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the hygiene and appearance of the Franke Campus CMPX538WF urinal. The stainless steel construction is designed for easy maintenance.
Daily Cleaning:
- Wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Periodic Maintenance (Siphon):
The integrated siphon with the rubber membrane may require periodic inspection and cleaning or replacement, depending on usage and water hardness. If odors become noticeable or drainage slows, the siphon should be checked.
- Consult a qualified plumber for inspection and maintenance of the siphon mechanism.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could damage the stainless steel surface or the rubber membrane.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Franke Campus CMPX538WF urinal.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
