It features the main white oblong button assembly with two distinct flush buttons, a separate white plastic mounting clamp, and a single silver Phillips head screw. These components are essential for the installation and function of the dual flush mechanism.
Setup and Installation
Tools Required: Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Prepare the Toilet: Turn off the water supply to the toilet at the shut-off valve, typically located behind or near the base of the toilet. Flush the toilet to empty the tank.
- Remove Existing Button (if applicable): If replacing an old button, carefully remove it. This usually involves unscrewing a retaining nut or clip from underneath the tank lid or within the tank.
- Position New Button Assembly: Place the new dual flush button assembly into the designated opening on the toilet tank lid. Ensure it sits flush and is correctly oriented.
- Secure with Clamp and Screw: From underneath the tank lid, or inside the tank depending on design, position the mounting clamp over the button assembly's stem. Insert the mounting screw through the clamp and into the button assembly, tightening it with a Phillips head screwdriver until secure. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Water Supply: Turn the water supply back on. Allow the tank to fill.
- Test Functionality: Press each flush button to ensure proper operation and that the toilet flushes correctly.
Operating Instructions
The Caroma Dual Flush Button Kit provides two flushing options to conserve water:
- Half Flush: Press the smaller button (often indicated by a smaller symbol or half-circle) for liquid waste. This uses less water.
- Full Flush: Press the larger button (often indicated by a larger symbol or full-circle) for solid waste. This uses the full volume of water.
Ensure the buttons return to their original position after each flush.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your dual flush button kit:
- Cleaning: Clean the button and bezel regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap and water.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical-based cleaning agents, as these can damage the finish and material.
- Inspection: Periodically check that the buttons move freely and are not sticking.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Button is sticking or difficult to press. | Misalignment during installation, debris, or overtightened screw. | Check alignment of the button assembly and clamp. Ensure the mounting screw is not overtightened. Clean any visible debris around the buttons. |
| Toilet does not flush when button is pressed. | Button not properly engaging the flush valve, or issue with the flush valve itself. | Verify the button assembly is correctly installed and making contact with the flush valve mechanism. If the button is installed correctly, the issue may be with the toilet's internal flush valve, which may require separate inspection or repair. |
