3. Installatie-instructies

Installation of this conversion kit requires basic plumbing knowledge. If you are unsure about any steps, it is recommended to consult a qualified professional.

3.1 Compatibiliteitscontrole

Ensure your existing Geberit cistern is Type 110.800 and was manufactured between 1988 and 1997. This kit is specifically designed for these models. Incompatibility may lead to improper function or damage.

3.2 Voorbereiding

1. Turn off the main water supply to the toilet.
2. Spoel het toilet door om het reservoir te legen.
3. Remove the cistern lid and any existing flushing mechanisms.

3.3 Componentinstallatie

1. Install the new protective plate and secure it according to the original cistern design.
2. Assemble the lifting bell and bearing block, then position them within the cistern.
3. Mount the hold-down bracket and basin, ensuring they are correctly aligned.
4. Install the Type 383 filling valve, connecting it to the water supply line. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. Follow the specific instructions provided with the physical kit for detailed steps on adjusting components for optimal fit and function.

3.4 Eindmontage

1. Carefully reassemble the cistern, ensuring all parts are correctly seated.
2. Zet de hoofdkraan weer open en controleer op lekkages.
3. Test the flush mechanism to ensure both small and large flush volumes operate correctly.

4. Bediening

The Geberit Conversion Kit provides a dual-flush function. This allows you to choose between two different flush volumes to conserve water.

• Kleine spoeling: Press the smaller button or the upper part of the flush plate for a reduced water volume flush.
• Grote spoeling: Press the larger button or the lower part of the flush plate for a full water volume flush.

Familiarize yourself with the flush plate associated with your cistern to identify the small and large flush actuators.

5. Onderhoud

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Geberit Conversion Kit.

• Schoonmaak: Periodically clean the cistern components, especially the filling valve and flush valve, to prevent mineral buildup and ensure smooth operation. Use mild cleaning agents and avoid abrasive materials.
• Lekcontroles: Regularly inspect for any signs of leaks around the cistern and connections. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water waste and potential damage.
• Componentinspectie: Annually check the condition of rubber seals and moving parts. Replace any worn or damaged components as needed.

6. Probleemoplossing

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your conversion kit.

• Water continuously running into the toilet bowl: This often indicates an issue with the flush valve seal or the filling valve. Check if the flush valve is seating correctly or if the filling valve is overfilling the cistern. Adjust or clean as necessary.
• Cistern not filling or filling slowly: Check the water supply valve to ensure it is fully open. Inspect the filling valve for blockages or debris.
• Incomplete flush: Ensure the flush plate actuators are correctly engaging the flush mechanism. Check for any obstructions preventing the full movement of the lifting bell.
• Weak flush: Verify that the water level in the cistern reaches the recommended fill line. Adjust the filling valve if necessary.

Als de problemen aanhouden na het uitvoeren van deze stappen voor probleemoplossing, neem dan contact op met de klantenservice van Geberit of een gekwalificeerde loodgieter.
