4. Setup and Installation

The San Marco Fusion Dual Flush Plate is designed for snap-on installation with compatible Fusion cisterns. Follow these steps for a secure fit:

2. Align the Plate: Carefully align the back of the flush plate with the mounting points on the cistern frame. The two push buttons should correspond with the flush activation rods.
3. Snap into Place: Gently push the flush plate towards the cistern until it clicks securely into position. Apply even pressure to avoid damaging the plate or the cistern mechanism.
4. Test Functionality: Once installed, press each button to ensure they move freely and activate the flush mechanism correctly.

5. Operating Instructions

The San Marco Fusion Dual Flush Plate features a dual-button design for efficient water usage:

• Small Button: Press the smaller button for a reduced flush volume (half flush). This is ideal for liquid waste, conserving water.
• Large Button: Press the larger button for a full flush volume. This is intended for solid waste, ensuring thorough cleaning.

Ensure the buttons return to their original position after each use.

6. Maintenance

To keep your San Marco Fusion Dual Flush Plate in optimal condition, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the surface of the flush plate regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or scouring powders, as these can scratch or damage the plastic finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the buttons for smooth operation. If they feel stiff or sticky, ensure no debris is obstructing their movement.
• Avoid Excessive Force: Do not apply excessive force when pressing the buttons, as this can damage the internal mechanism.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your flush plate, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Buttons are Sticking or Not Returning:
  • Check for any obstructions around the buttons.
  • Ensure the flush plate is correctly seated and not misaligned.
  • Clean around the button edges to remove any build-up.
• Flush Mechanism Not Activating:
  • Verify that the flush plate is securely installed and making proper contact with the cistern's activation rods.
  • Inspect the cistern's internal mechanism to ensure it is functioning correctly. This issue may not be related to the flush plate itself.
• Water Leakage Around the Plate:
  • This is typically not caused by the flush plate. Check the cistern's internal seals and connections.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, it is advisable to contact a qualified plumber or the retailer for further assistance.
