FAQs
Do I need to buy a separate cistern?
Yes, this is a back-to-wall toilet and requires a compatible concealed cistern and wall-hung frame to be purchased separately for installation.
How do I remove the toilet seat for cleaning?
The toilet seat features a quick-release mechanism. Typically, there are buttons or levers at the hinges that allow you to detach the seat from the bowl for easy cleaning.
Is the toilet difficult to install?
Due to the requirement for a concealed cistern and specific wall mounting, professional plumbing installation is recommended for optimal setup and safety.
What cleaning products are safe to use?
Use mild soap and a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the scratch-and-fade-resistant finish.
How does the vortex flush work?
The vortex flush system directs water in a swirling motion, creating a powerful current that efficiently clears the bowl of waste.
What is the benefit of a rimless toilet design?
A rimless design eliminates the traditional rim around the bowl, meaning there are fewer places for bacteria and limescale to hide, making it much easier to clean and more hygienic.
Troubleshooting
Toilet not flushing properly
Check the water level in the cistern. Ensure the flush mechanism is correctly connected to the toilet bowl. Verify that the concealed cistern is filling and functioning as expected.
Seat is loose or wobbly
Check that the seat hinges are securely fastened to the toilet bowl. Re-tighten any fixings if necessary. Ensure the seat is correctly clicked back into place after removal.
Water is constantly running into the bowl
This indicates an issue with the cistern's fill or flush valve. Inspect the cistern components for wear or debris. You may need to adjust or replace the valve mechanism within the concealed cistern.
Scratches appear on the surface
While the ceramic is scratch-resistant, very coarse abrasives can still mark it. Use only non-abrasive cleaners. Minor surface marks may be buffed out with a ceramic repair kit, but avoid harsh scrubbing.
