Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance of the concealed cistern
The concealed cistern is constantly under mechanical, chemical, and physical stress. For this reason, the components must be cleaned as required, and the drain and filling valve seals renewed.
In areas or regions with hard water due to high concentration of calcium or magnesium salts, there is the risk of limescale deposits developing on the inlet and drain valves. The valves may have to be replaced, depending on the extent of the deposits.
Disposal
Separate the product and packaging materials (e. g. paper, metal, plastic or non-ferrous metals) and dispose of in accordance with valid national legal requirements.
