Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Laufen PRO Toilet Seat:
- Prepare the Toilet Bowl: Ensure the toilet bowl's mounting holes are clean and free of debris. Remove any old toilet seat hardware.
- Identify Mounting Hardware: Your toilet seat comes with specific mounting hardware. Familiarize yourself with the bolts, washers, and nuts.
- Position the Seat: Place the Laufen PRO toilet seat on the toilet bowl, aligning the mounting holes on the seat with those on the bowl.
- Insert Bolts: Insert the mounting bolts through the seat's hinges and down into the toilet bowl's mounting holes.
- Secure with Washers and Nuts: From underneath the toilet bowl, place washers onto the bolts, followed by the nuts. Hand-tighten the nuts initially.
- Adjust and Tighten: Adjust the seat's position to ensure it is centered and aligned with the bowl. Once aligned, fully tighten the nuts using an appropriate wrench. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions
The Laufen PRO Toilet Seat is designed for ease of use and features an automatic slow-close function for enhanced comfort and durability.
- Lifting the Seat/Lid: Simply lift the seat or lid manually to the desired open position.
- Lowering the Seat/Lid (Automatic Slow-Close): To close, gently push the seat or lid downwards. The automatic slow-close mechanism will engage, allowing the seat and/or lid to lower softly and quietly without slamming. Do not force the seat or lid down, as this can damage the slow-close mechanism.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Laufen PRO Toilet Seat.
- Cleaning: Clean the seat regularly with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong acids, alkalis, or organic solvents, as these can damage the surface finish and the slow-close mechanism.
- Drying: After cleaning, wipe the seat dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Hinge Care: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting bolts and tighten if necessary to prevent wobbling.
