Operating Instructions
The Duravit Starck 3 toilet seat is designed for simple and intuitive use.
- SoftClose Operation: To close the seat or lid, simply push it down gently. The SoftClose mechanism will engage, allowing it to lower slowly and silently on its own. Avoid forcing the seat or lid down, as this can damage the mechanism.
- Removable Seat for Cleaning: To remove the seat for thorough cleaning, locate the push-button release mechanisms near the hinges. Press the buttons and lift the seat straight up. Reattach by aligning the seat with the hinge posts and pressing down until it clicks into place.

- Drying: After cleaning, wipe the seat and hinges dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
