This section outlines the general steps for installing the Geberit AP116 external cistern. Refer to the detailed technical drawings for precise measurements and connection points.
4.1. તૈયારી
- Turn off the main water supply to the toilet area.
- Drain any remaining water from the existing toilet system.
- Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound.
4.2. Mounting the Cistern
- Position the cistern on the wall above the toilet bowl, ensuring it is level and at the correct height for low-position installation. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 for recommended dimensions.
- Mark the drilling points for the fixing material.
- છિદ્રો ડ્રિલ કરો અને યોગ્ય દિવાલ પ્લગ દાખલ કરો.
- Secure the cistern to the wall using the provided fixing material.

5. ઓપરેટિંગ સૂચનાઓ
The Geberit AP116 cistern features a dual-flush mechanism for efficient water usage.
5.1. Initial Fill and Test
- Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply.
- Allow the cistern to fill completely. The silent refilling mechanism will ensure a quiet operation.
- Check for any leaks around the connections. If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and re-tighten connections.
5.2. Dual Flush Operation
The cistern offers two flush volumes:
- સંપૂર્ણ ફ્લશ: For larger waste, press and hold the flush button for a longer duration. This activates the 6-7.5 liter flush.
- ઘટાડો ફ્લશ: For liquid waste, press and release the flush button quickly. This activates the 3-4 liter flush.
5.3. Adjusting Flush Volume
The flush volumes are pre-set to 6 liters (full) and 3-4 liters (reduced). If adjustment is required, consult a qualified plumber. Adjustments typically involve internal mechanisms and should be handled with care to maintain optimal performance and water efficiency.
6. જાળવણી અને સંભાળ
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Geberit AP116 cistern.
6.1. સફાઈ
- Clean the exterior of the cistern with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or solvents, as these can damage the surface finish.
6.2. Internal Component Check
- Periodically inspect the internal components (fill valve, flush valve) for wear or mineral buildup.
- If excessive mineral buildup is observed, turn off the water supply and clean components as necessary. Replacement parts are available if components are worn beyond repair.
6.3. ઘનીકરણ
The cistern is insulated against condensation. If condensation occurs, ensure proper ventilation in the bathroom and check for extreme temperature differences between the water supply and ambient air.
