Setup and Installation
The Geberit IT Toilet Seat is designed for top-fixing installation, making it convenient to install and remove for cleaning. Ensure you have all components before beginning.
Components Included:
- Toilet seat with lid
- Metal hinges (chrome-plated brass)
- Fixing hardware for top installation
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Toilet Bowl: Ensure the toilet bowl's mounting holes are clean and free of debris.
- Insert Fixing Bolts: Place the fixing bolts (part of the hinge assembly) into the mounting holes on the toilet bowl.
- Position the Hinges: Attach the metal hinges to the fixing bolts. The hinges are designed for top-down installation, meaning they are secured from above the toilet bowl.
- Attach the Toilet Seat: Align the toilet seat with the hinge posts and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the seat is centered and stable.
- Tighten Fixings: From the top, tighten the screws on the hinge assembly to secure the toilet seat firmly to the bowl. Do not overtighten.
- Test Stability: Gently push down on the seat to ensure it is stable and does not wobble. Adjust tightening if necessary.
Note: This toilet seat is designed to be combined with Geberit IT WC models 201900, 201950, and 200920. Refer to Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 5 for critical dimensions and hinge spacing to ensure compatibility.
Operating Instructions
The Geberit IT Toilet Seat features a soft-close mechanism for quiet and gentle closing of both the lid and the seat.
Soft-Close Function:
- To close the lid or seat, simply push it down gently. The soft-close mechanism will engage, allowing it to lower slowly and silently without slamming.
- Do not force the lid or seat down, as this can damage the soft-close mechanism.
Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Geberit IT Toilet Seat.
Cleaning:
- Clean the toilet seat regularly with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or strong chemical detergents, as these can damage the Duroplast surface and chrome-plated hinges.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
- For stubborn stains, a diluted vinegar solution can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Hinge Care:
- The chrome-plated brass hinges should be wiped dry after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain their shine.
- Periodically check the hinge fixings for tightness and re-tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
