- the operating mode is the standard mode.
- the setting mode E is shown, wherein here the display of the display element 4, 5 differs from that in the operating mode B. This will be indicated by a different color.
- the cleaning mode E is shown.
- the display elements 4, 5 flash periodically and thus signal the cleaning mode. It would also be conceivable that the user of the cleaning mode is displayed in a different color.
- the display is different for all states or modes, so that the user can recognize the state of the actuating element 1 on the basis of the display by the display elements 4, 5.
- the inventive method is used to set at least one parameter on the actuator. For example, the adjustment of the colors of the display elements, the setting of the rinsing function, the adjustment of the dosage of Spülwassermenge and / or the adjustment of display functions of the display elements.
- the method for setting at least one parameter on an actuator 1 to trigger a function on a sanitary device comprises the step of moving the actuator 1 from an operating mode B to a setting mode E when the exactly two actuation sensors 2, 3 are activated for a predetermined time T1 become.
- setting mode E the user can then make appropriate settings on different or even on a single parameter.
