Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This cistern lever is specifically designed to fit Ideal Standard cisterns and features a 3/8" spindle fitting. It is crucial to verify that your existing cistern mechanism uses this specific fitting and brand compatibility before purchase.
Setup:
- Turn off water supply to the toilet.
- Flush the cistern to empty it.
- Unscrew the nut holding the old lever in place from inside the cistern.
- Remove the old lever.
- Insert the new lever, ensuring the spindle passes through the cistern hole.
- Secure the new lever from inside the cistern using the nut, tightening it firmly but not excessively.
- Reconnect the water supply and test the flush.
Care:
- Clean the lever regularly with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the chrome finish.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry.
