4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your Keramag Renova No. 1 Toilet Seat:
- Preparation: Ensure the toilet bowl is clean and dry. If replacing an old seat, remove it completely and clean the mounting area.
- Positioning Hinges: Place the two stainless steel hinges into the mounting holes on the back of the toilet bowl.
- Attaching Bolts: Insert the bolts through the hinge plates and the mounting holes. From underneath the toilet bowl, secure the bolts with the provided washers and nuts. Hand-tighten initially.
- Aligning the Seat: Place the toilet seat onto the hinges. Adjust the position of the hinges and the seat to ensure proper alignment with the toilet bowl. The seat should be centered and not overhang the bowl.
- Final Tightening: Once the seat is correctly aligned, fully tighten the nuts from underneath the toilet bowl. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the porcelain.
- Test: Gently lower the seat and lid to ensure smooth operation and stability.

5. Operating Instructions
The Keramag Renova No. 1 Toilet Seat is designed for simple and reliable use.
- Opening: Lift the lid and/or the seat ring to the upright position.
- Closing: Gently lower the lid and/or the seat ring back to the closed position. Avoid slamming the seat to prevent damage to the hinges or the toilet bowl.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your toilet seat.
- Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water. Wipe the entire surface of the seat and lid.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong acids, alkalis, or chlorine-based products. These can damage the finish of the seat and the stainless steel hinges.
- Drying: After cleaning, wipe the seat dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
- Hinge Check: Periodically check the hinge screws for tightness. If the seat feels loose, gently retighten the nuts underneath the toilet bowl.
7. Troubleshooting
