3. Package Contents

4. Setup and Installation
Tools Required (not included): Screwdriver (flathead or Phillips, depending on hardware), adjustable wrench (optional).
- Remove Old Seat: If replacing an existing toilet seat, lift the hinge covers at the back of the seat. Unscrew the bolts that secure the seat to the toilet bowl. Remove the old seat and clean the area thoroughly.
- Position New Seat: Place the new Laufen Pro S toilet seat onto the toilet bowl, aligning the mounting holes on the seat's hinges with the holes on the toilet bowl.
- Install Mounting Hardware: Insert the provided bolts through the hinge holes and down into the toilet bowl holes. From underneath the toilet bowl, attach the washers and nuts to the bolts.
- Tighten Securely: Hand-tighten the nuts first, then use a screwdriver to tighten the bolts until the seat is firmly secured and does not wobble. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the toilet bowl or seat.
- Check Alignment: Ensure the seat is properly aligned with the toilet bowl. Adjust if necessary before final tightening.
- Close Hinge Covers: Snap the hinge covers back into place over the mounting hardware.
5. Operating Instructions
The Laufen Pro S toilet seat features an integrated soft-close mechanism for enhanced comfort and durability.
- Soft Close Function: To close the seat or lid, simply push it down gently. The soft-close mechanism will engage, allowing the seat and lid to lower slowly and quietly without slamming.
- Avoid Forcing: Do not force the seat or lid down manually when the soft-close mechanism is engaged, as this can damage the mechanism over time. Allow it to close at its own pace.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Laufen Pro S toilet seat.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the toilet seat regularly with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild, non-abrasive soap.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong acids, alkalis, or organic solvents, as these can damage the plastic surface and the soft-close mechanism.
- Drying: Always wipe the seat dry with a soft cloth after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- Soft Close Mechanism Care: Keep the hinge area clean and free of debris. Do not apply lubricants to the soft-close mechanism unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
