3. Istruzioni per l'installazione
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your Geberit flush valve. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to consult a qualified plumber.
- Preparazione: Turn off the water supply to the toilet and flush the toilet to empty the cistern. Remove the cistern lid. Disconnect the water supply line from the fill valve.
- Rimuovere la vecchia valvola: If replacing an existing valve, unfasten the mounting nut from underneath the cistern and carefully remove the old flush valve. Clean the cistern thoroughly, especially around the flush valve opening.
- Installare la nuova valvola: Place the large sealing gasket onto the base of the new Geberit flush valve. Insert the valve into the flush opening at the bottom of the cistern. Ensure it is seated correctly and centered.
- Valvola sicura: From underneath the cistern, thread the mounting nut onto the valve shank and tighten it securely by hand, then use the provided wrench (if applicable) or an appropriate tool to tighten further. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the cistern.
- Regola l'altezza: The Geberit Type 290 valve is adjustable in height. Adjust the valve to the appropriate height for your cistern, ensuring the overflow pipe is below the cistern's overflow level and the flush button mechanism aligns with the cistern lid opening. Refer to the markings on the valve for guidance.
- Connect Flush Button: Attach the flush button mechanism to the top of the flush valve, ensuring it engages correctly with the dual-flush levers.
- Reconnect Water: Reconnect the water supply line to the fill valve and turn on the water supply. Check for leaks around the flush valve and water supply connections.
- Test di lavaggio: Allow the cistern to fill and perform several test flushes to ensure proper operation and sealing.

4. Operating the Dual-Flush Mechanism
The Geberit 282350212 Type 290 Flush Valve features a dual-flush system designed to conserve water by offering two flush volumes.
- Risciacquo completo: To activate a full flush, press and hold the larger or primary button on the flush actuator until the desired amount of water has been released. This is typically used for solid waste.
- Riscatto ridotto: To activate a reduced flush, press and release the smaller or secondary button on the flush actuator. This is typically used for liquid waste, saving water.
The flush volumes can often be adjusted internally on the valve itself. Refer to the markings on the valve for specific adjustment points for the full and reduced flush volumes. Adjusting these settings may require removing the cistern lid.

5. Manutenzione e cura
Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e il funzionamento efficiente della valvola di scarico.
- Pulizia: Periodically clean the flush valve components, especially the sealing gasket at the base, to prevent mineral buildup and ensure a proper seal. Use a soft brush and mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage plastic or rubber parts.
- Ispezionare le guarnizioni: Annually inspect all rubber seals and gaskets for signs of wear, cracking, or deterioration. Replace any damaged seals to prevent leaks.
- Controllare eventuali ostruzioni: Ensure no foreign objects or debris are obstructing the movement of the flush valve or its internal mechanisms.
