4. Secure the Seat: From underneath the toilet bowl, attach the washers and nuts to the hinge posts. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to firmly secure the nuts. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the ceramic or hardware.
5. Adjust for Fit: If necessary, adjust the position of the hinges to ensure the seat is centered and aligned with the toilet bowl. Once satisfied, fully tighten all fasteners. The stable buffers on the underside of the seat contribute to a consistent and stable connection.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your toilet seat.

• Cleaning: Clean the toilet seat regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can damage the lacquered MDF surface and stainless steel hinges.
• Drying: After cleaning, wipe the seat dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.
• Hinge Check: Periodically check the tightness of the hinge screws and mounting nuts. If they become loose, gently tighten them to ensure stability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your toilet seat, refer to the following common solutions:

• Seat is Loose or Wobbles: This is typically caused by loose mounting hardware. Re-tighten the nuts underneath the toilet bowl. Ensure the hinges are properly seated and the buffers are making full contact with the ceramic.
• Lid or Ring Does Not Stay Up: Check the hinge tension. If the hinges are too loose, they may not hold the seat in an upright position. Adjust the hinge screws if possible, or ensure they are fully tightened.
• Squeaking Noises: A squeaking sound may indicate friction in the hinges. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the hinge pivot points, ensuring it does not come into contact with the seat surface.
