4. Setup and Installation

Professional installation is recommended. Ensure you have the necessary tools (wrench, screwdriver, drill, level, sealant) before starting.

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the floor is clean, level, and the waste pipe connection (horizontal outlet) is correctly positioned. Turn off the main water supply.
2. Assemble Cistern Mechanism: Install the fill valve and flush valve inside the cistern according to their individual instructions. Ensure all seals are correctly seated.
3. Attach Cistern to WC Bowl: Place the large rubber gasket onto the water inlet hole on the WC bowl. Carefully align the cistern with the bowl, ensuring the flush valve tail piece passes through the gasket. Secure the cistern to the bowl using the provided bolts, washers, and nuts. Tighten evenly to create a watertight seal, but do not overtighten.
4. Position the WC: Carefully place the assembled WC unit over the waste pipe connection. Ensure it is level and correctly aligned.
5. Secure to Floor: Mark the drilling points for the floor fixings. Move the WC aside, drill the holes, and insert wall plugs if necessary. Reposition the WC and secure it to the floor using the provided screws and caps.
6. Connect Water Supply: Connect the water supply line to the fill valve inlet on the cistern. Use a flexible connector and ensure a watertight seal.
7. Install Toilet Seat: Attach the soft-close Duroplast toilet seat to the WC bowl using the provided fixings. Ensure it is centered and secure.
8. Test and Seal: Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Allow the cistern to fill and perform several test flushes. Once satisfied, apply a silicone sealant around the base of the WC where it meets the floor for a hygienic and finished look.
