3. Setup and Installation
Installation of the Bio Bidet BB1000 is designed for DIY setup and typically takes minutes. All necessary components are included. A standard 120-volt, 3-prong GFCI electrical outlet is required within reach of the bidet's power cord (approximately 3 feet from the right rear of the unit when facing the toilet). Ensure the outlet is not in an area prone to splashing.
Installation Steps:
- Turn off the water shut-off valve: Locate the water supply valve for your toilet and turn it off to stop the water flow.
- Remove your existing toilet seat: Unscrew and remove the bolts holding your current toilet seat in place.
- Install the catch plate and slide the bidet seat on: Attach the provided catch plate to the toilet using the new bolts. Carefully slide the BB1000 bidet seat onto the catch plate until it clicks into place.
- Connect the toilet and bidet hoses: Use the T-valve and bidet hose to connect the bidet to your toilet's water supply. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten, especially the plastic connections, to prevent damage.
- Plug the power cord into a GFCI outlet: Once water connections are secure and checked for leaks, plug the bidet's power cord into a grounded GFCI electrical outlet.

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Bio Bidet BB1000.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the bidet seat with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong chemical cleaners, abrasive pads, or solvents (e.g., Lysol, Clorox type spray bathroom cleaners) on any part of the bidet seat, as these can damage the plastic and finish. Always wipe surfaces dry after cleaning.
- Filter Maintenance: Periodically check the water inlet filter for any debris and clean if necessary to maintain optimal water flow.

To remove the BB1000 for thorough cleaning or servicing, locate the tab on the right side bottom of the unit. Push this tab in and slide the bidet seat forward off the attachment point on the toilet.
