Setup (Installation)
Follow these steps to properly install your new toilet seat. Basic tools such as a screwdriver or wrench may be required.
- Prepare the Toilet Bowl: If replacing an old seat, remove it completely. Clean the toilet bowl's mounting area thoroughly.
- Attach Hinges to Seat: Secure the stainless steel hinges to the designated points on the underside of the toilet seat using the provided screws. Ensure they are firmly attached but do not overtighten.
- Position the Seat: Place the toilet seat with attached hinges onto the toilet bowl, aligning the hinge posts with the mounting holes on the ceramic.
- Secure the Mounting Hardware: From underneath the toilet bowl, attach the washers and nuts to the hinge posts. Hand-tighten first to allow for minor adjustments.
- Adjust and Tighten: Adjust the seat position to ensure it is centered and aligned with the toilet bowl. Once satisfied with the alignment, fully tighten the nuts using a suitable tool. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the ceramic or hardware.
- Test Stability: Gently test the seat for stability. It should not wobble or shift.
