Somehow my electricity got cut off!!! As I was using the rest room.
I have no idea how to flush it now.
Please help!!!!
Edit: issue resolved. There is a hidden pull string flush under a Velcro panel on the left side.
Thank you all for helping through a shitty situation.

open the lid and pull on the lever that lets the water out?
You can just fill a bucket with water and use that.
The way they do in most of Asia, empty a bucket of water into it
The two I’ve had have had a side panel that opens exposes a flushing lever.
The electricity is just to turn on/off a solenoid valve which releases the water contained in the reservoir.
You can simply fill a 6L bucket and pour it inside the bowl to get exactly the same effect.
Ughhhj
This is funny. Same as other posters said, use bucket of water and pour it in to get it to flush.
I’m sorry. You cannot flush it and must bear with it for the unprecedented future now.
Keep it till it’s full, it will go down with gravity
Thought I saw it all on Jlife until I read this post
Toilets, if not clogged, should flush if filled with too much water.
Shifty deal
Imagine the dude locked in the stall, desperately starring at his screen, waiting for fellow redditors/saviors replies , lol
Stop, slow down, use your brain for a second. What does a flush on a toilet actually do? It simply empties water into the toilet bowl.
So how can you replicate this manually? You’ve got this. I believe in you!
The jlife “how do I adult??” series continues…
There’s a lever somewhere at the back of the toilet bowl, depends on the model. Ours have one underneath the water tank and one near the toilet seat.
You call that an emergency?
An emergency is when you are at your new girlfriend’s apartment and you think she is the one, and its the first time you’ve felt comfortable enough to use her restroom, and you are a bit concerned about it having just come from the all you can eat jumbo discount Mexican restaurant where you really pushed yourself with those refried beans and burritos, and as you are sitting there trying not to think about that you suddenly hear a noise outside and realize her ex-boyfriend, who is both more handsome and more succesful than you, has entered the apartment and is trying to win her back and you’re not fully confident about how she is going to respond to all of that and you really want to go out there looking totally cool and say something that will totally blow her away in terms of how cool it will make you look compared to him.
And then suddenly the electricity conks out and you are confronted with the real possibility of having to go out there and ask him if he can help you flush the toilet.
THAT, my friend, is an emergency.
Scoop a tiny bit and put it in your pocket, drop it outside unnoticed in a Shawshank style.
While having an electric flush button might be nice to have on a panel of other electric buttons, what utter knob hides the manual flush lever/string?
Well, I learned something today….of course I always knew that some designers were absolute knobs….but toilets with electric flush will probably at least have a manual flush mechanism not so conveniently HIDDEN from view. FFS
If you have something like a Neorest, there is no tank. But yes, velcro panel on left, with manual lever, or pull string to swing the weight around. Some models have battery pack. But I guess emergency over 🙂
Can you still see?
If so, lift the lid of the cistern, carefully reach around the ballcock, and manually tickle the flush valve.
Pay no attention to any ziplocks full of guns, cocaine, devil’s lettuce, porn, tamago sandos, Y-fronts, etc, that might be in there.
Check the side of the cistern near the bottom, there should be a manual pull hidden away. Mine is on the right as you face it, at about seat level.
First world problems.

Why did the person go online in search of a solution during a broken toilet emergency?
Because they needed to “flush” out the best option!
I’d be much more worried about leaving 7 years of posts and comments publicly available on reddit.
that’s some real shitty situation
Just unplug the toilet and take it on the train to a friend’s place where the electricity is working.
Following on from your earlier post of: “Strange Bluetooth interference at machida station”
I think I know what really happened here, something that the others have missed…
A foreign power hacked into your electronic computer toilet to gather information about your toilet habits.
It all makes sense now!! The Bluetooth interference, the toilet hacking.
I suggest you immediately start wearing a tin foil hat to shield your brain from the radiowaves attempting to communicate with the chip imbedded in your head.
Lawson is the answer!
call 119 for this, don’t Reddit about it
