4.1 Dimensions and Planning
Before installation, ensure your bathroom space and wall support system are compatible with the toilet's dimensions.
4.2 Mounting the Toilet Bowl
- Ensure the wall support frame is securely installed and level according to its own instructions.
- Connect the waste pipe and water supply to the toilet bowl. Ensure all seals are correctly seated and tightened to prevent leaks.
- Carefully lift the toilet bowl and align it with the mounting bolts on the wall frame.
- Secure the toilet bowl using the provided fixing kit. Tighten bolts evenly to avoid stressing the ceramic. Do not overtighten.
- Once secured, check for stability and levelness.

- Insert the seat hinges into the designated holes on the toilet bowl.

- Test the soft-close function by gently lowering the seat and lid. They should close slowly and silently.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Flushing Mechanism (Aquablade Technology)
Your TESI toilet features Ideal Standard's Aquablade technology, a rimless design that provides a powerful and efficient flush while maintaining superior hygiene.
- The toilet uses a dual-flush system (3/6 liters) for water conservation.
- Press the smaller button for a 3-liter flush (liquid waste).
- Press the larger button for a 6-liter flush (solid waste).
- The Aquablade system propels water from the top of the bowl, ensuring 100% of the bowl surface is cleaned with each flush. The absence of a rim reduces bacteria proliferation.
5.2 Soft-Close Seat
The toilet seat is equipped with a soft-close mechanism to prevent slamming and reduce noise. Simply push the seat or lid down gently, and it will close slowly on its own.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and hygiene of your TESI toilet.
- Toilet Bowl: Clean the matte black porcelain bowl with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or strong acids/alkalis, as these can damage the finish.
- Toilet Seat: The thermodur plastic seat can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. For thorough cleaning, the seat is easily detachable. Simply press the quick-release buttons (if applicable) or lift the seat straight up from the hinges to remove it.
- Aquablade System: The rimless design of the Aquablade system makes cleaning easier. Wipe down the inner surface of the bowl regularly to prevent limescale buildup.
- Water Economy: The dual-flush system helps conserve water. Ensure the flush buttons are not stuck or obstructed to maintain optimal water usage.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TESI toilet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Weak or incomplete flush | Low water pressure; obstruction in flush mechanism; limescale buildup. | Check water supply valve; inspect flush mechanism for debris; descale the bowl and flush jets. |
| Toilet constantly runs | Faulty fill valve or flush valve seal. | Inspect and replace worn seals or the fill valve as needed. |
| Toilet seat does not soft-close | Hinges are dirty or damaged; seat not properly attached. | Clean hinges; re-attach seat securely; if damaged, contact support for replacement parts. |
| Leaks from connections | Loose connections; worn seals. | Tighten connections (do not overtighten); replace seals if necessary. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Ideal Standard customer support.
