Cistern not filling with water

Water continuously running into the pan

Ensure the flush valve seal is correctly seated and free from debris. Check the overflow pipe is not blocked, causing the water level to rise too high.

Flush volume is inconsistent

Verify that the siphon mechanism for adjusting flush volume is correctly set according to the instructions. Ensure no obstructions are affecting the siphon's operation.
