4. Setup and Installation

The Lacava Wood Box is designed for wall-mounted installation to conceal a Geberit in-wall tank and carrier. Proper securing to the wall is critical for stability and safety.

4.1. Pre-Installation Steps

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Review Dimensions: Ensure the dimensions of the wood box (W: 22 1/2", D: 6 1/2", H: 45") are suitable for your installation space and the specific Geberit in-wall tank and carrier model.
3. Prepare Wall: The wall where the box will be mounted must be structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the box, tank, carrier, and toilet.
4. Locate Studs/Blocking: Identify and mark the locations of wall studs or suitable blocking for secure mounting.

4.2. Mounting the Wood Box

1. Position the Box: Carefully position the wood box against the wall at the desired location, ensuring it aligns correctly with the Geberit in-wall tank and carrier.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Using a pencil, mark the precise locations for drilling through the pre-drilled holes on the back of the wood box onto the wall.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes into the wall at the marked locations. Use appropriate drill bits and wall anchors if drilling into drywall without studs.
4. Secure the Box: Align the wood box with the pilot holes and securely fasten it to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the box is level and plumb.
5. Install Toilet: Once the wood box is securely mounted, proceed with the installation of your compatible wall-mounted toilet (e.g., #2958, #4278, #5051WC, #6058) according to its specific instructions.

5. Operating

The Lacava Wood Box functions as an aesthetic enclosure for your in-wall tank and carrier. Its primary purpose is to conceal the plumbing components while providing a finished look.

Access to the flush mechanism is provided through the flush plate opening on the front of the box. Operate your toilet's flush mechanism as per the toilet manufacturer's instructions.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Lacava Wood Box, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive wood cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the fine texture finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the surface with a dry, soft cloth.
• Inspection: Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure the box remains securely fastened to the wall. Tighten screws if necessary.
• Avoid Moisture: While designed for a bathroom environment, excessive moisture or standing water on the wood surface should be avoided. Wipe up spills immediately.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Lacava Wood Box, consider the following:

• Box feels loose: Re-check all mounting screws and ensure they are tightened securely into wall studs or appropriate anchors. If the wall structure is compromised, consult a professional.
• Misalignment with toilet: Ensure the wood box was installed level and plumb. If the toilet is not aligning correctly, verify the dimensions and compatibility of your Geberit tank and toilet model with the box.
• Surface damage: For minor scratches, touch-up pens or furniture repair kits designed for wood with a fine texture may be used. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

For issues related to the Geberit in-wall tank, carrier, or toilet, please refer to their respective instruction manuals or contact their manufacturers directly.
