2.3 Mounting the Frame
- Mark the desired installation height and position on the wall, referencing Figure 3 for standard bidet heights.
- Secure the frame to the wall using appropriate fasteners for your wall type. Ensure the frame is level and plumb.
- Adjust the fixing pins to the required distance (180 mm or 230 mm) to match your bidet's mounting points.
- Connect the water supply and drainage pipes to the designated outlets on the frame, ensuring all connections are watertight.
- Once the frame is securely mounted and plumbing connections are made, the bidet can be attached to the fixing pins and secured.
3. Operation
The GROHE Uniset Frame is a structural component. Its primary function is to provide a stable and concealed mounting solution for a hanging bidet. Once installed, the frame operates passively by supporting the bidet and its associated plumbing.
Ensure that the bidet is securely fastened to the frame and that all water connections are free from leaks. Regular checks for stability are recommended.
4. Maintenance
The GROHE Uniset Frame requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspection can help ensure its long-term integrity.
- Periodic Inspection: Annually, inspect the visible connections and the bidet's stability. Ensure all mounting bolts remain tight.
- Cleaning: Clean any visible parts of the frame or connections with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage finishes or materials.
- Leak Detection: Promptly address any signs of water leaks from the bidet or its connections. While the frame itself does not contain water, it supports the bidet's plumbing.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues that may arise during or after the installation of the Uniset Frame.
- Bidet feels unstable or wobbly:
- Verify that the frame is securely fastened to the wall. Tighten any loose mounting bolts.
- Ensure the bidet is correctly attached to the frame's fixing pins and that its mounting hardware is tightened.
- Check the structural integrity of the wall where the frame is mounted.
- Water leaks from bidet connections:
- This issue typically relates to the bidet's plumbing connections, not the frame itself.
- Turn off the water supply to the bidet.
- Inspect all water supply and drainage connections for proper sealing and tightness. Replace washers or seals if necessary.
- If leaks persist, consult a qualified plumber.
