6. Operating Instructions
The Geberit Sigma20 Actuator Plate features a dual flush mechanism, allowing you to choose between a full flush and a reduced flush volume for water efficiency.
6.1 Dual Flush Functionality
- Full Flush: Press the larger of the two circular buttons on the actuator plate. This activates the full flush volume from the cistern.
- Reduced Flush: Press the smaller of the two circular buttons on the actuator plate. This activates the reduced flush volume from the cistern, conserving water.
Ensure the buttons are pressed firmly and released to allow the flush mechanism to complete its cycle.
7. Maintenance
The Geberit Sigma20 Actuator Plate is designed with an easy-to-clean coating to simplify maintenance.
7.1 Cleaning Instructions
- Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as these can damage the surface finish and coating.
- Wipe the surface gently to remove dirt and water spots.
- Dry the plate with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water marks.
Regular cleaning will help maintain the aesthetic appearance and longevity of your actuator plate.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Geberit Sigma20 Actuator Plate, consider the following common points:
- Flush Not Activating: Ensure the push rods are correctly engaged with both the actuator plate buttons and the cistern's flush mechanism. Check for any obstructions preventing the buttons from being fully depressed.
- Weak Flush: This is typically related to the cistern's internal mechanism or water supply, not the actuator plate itself. Consult the manual for your Geberit Sigma flush box or contact a plumber.
- Buttons Sticking: Clean around the buttons to remove any debris. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require inspection.
For persistent problems or issues not covered here, it is advisable to contact Geberit customer support or a qualified plumbing professional.
