Once installed, the Flomasta fill valve operates automatically to refill the toilet cistern after each flush. The water level is controlled by the float mechanism.

The water work-line adjustable height is between 125mm and 260mm. To adjust the water level in the cistern:
- Locate the float mechanism on the side of the fill valve.
- Gently twist the float mechanism to unlock its position.
- Slide the float up or down to achieve the desired water level. Moving the float up will increase the water level, and moving it down will decrease it.
- Once the desired level is set, twist the float mechanism back to lock it securely in place.
- Flush the toilet to test the new water level. Make further adjustments if necessary.
