• Tjek for lækager: Regularly inspect the base of the cistern and the connections for any signs of water leakage. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water waste and potential damage.
• Efterse tætninger: Over time, rubber seals can degrade. If you notice constant running water or a weak flush, inspect the main seal at the base of the valve and the flush button mechanism for wear. Replace worn seals as necessary.

Fejlfinding

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions for the FLOMASTA Dual Flush Valve KF700 / FF-1056:

• Issue: Toilet constantly running water.
  Løsning: This often indicates a problem with the flush valve seal or the fill valve. Check if the flush valve seal is clean and free of debris. Ensure the flush button cable/rod is not too tight, preventing the valve from fully closing. Also, check the fill valve's float mechanism to ensure it's not stuck, causing overfilling.
• Issue: Weak or incomplete flush.
  Løsning: The water level in the cistern might be too low, or the flush volume settings need adjustment. Ensure the fill valve is filling the cistern to the correct level. Check the adjustment mechanisms on the dual flush valve to increase the water volume for both full and half flushes.
• Issue: Flush button sticking or not returning.
  Løsning: The flush button mechanism might be dirty or misaligned. Clean the button assembly and ensure the cable/rod connecting it to the valve moves freely without obstruction.
• Issue: Leaks from the base of the cistern.
  Løsning: This usually indicates a problem with the main seal at the base of the flush valve or the cistern bolts. Tighten the locking nut on the flush valve (do not overtighten) or replace the main seal if it appears damaged. Check and tighten cistern bolts if applicable.

If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is advisable to contact a qualified plumber for assistance.
