• Ensure all connections are secure to prevent injury or product damage.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools that may damage the chrome finish.
• Keep small parts out of reach of children.

3. Setup / Installation

3.1 Tools Required

• Adjustable wrench or pliers
• Screwdriver (if applicable for existing seat removal)

3.2 Preparation

Remove the old toilet seat and hinges from the toilet pan. Clean the mounting area thoroughly to ensure a secure and hygienic installation of the new hinges.

3.3 Installation Steps

1. Identify Components: Each hinge consists of a base that attaches to the toilet pan and a pivoting mechanism for the seat. Familiarize yourself with these parts.
2. Position Hinges: Place the hinge bases onto the mounting holes of the toilet pan. Ensure they are correctly aligned and spaced for your toilet seat.
3. Secure Bases: Use the provided fasteners (e.g., bolts, washers, nuts) to secure the hinge bases to the toilet pan. Tighten them firmly by hand, then use an adjustable wrench or pliers to snug them up. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the toilet pan or hinge components.
4. Attach Toilet Seat: Align the toilet seat with the installed hinge posts. The easy-release mechanism allows the seat to click securely into place.
5. Test and Adjust: Gently lower and raise the toilet seat to ensure it operates smoothly and is stable. Make any necessary adjustments to the hinge position or tightness.

4. Operating Instructions

The Roca AI002100R hinges feature an easy-release mechanism for convenient cleaning and maintenance. To remove the toilet seat, locate the release buttons or tabs on the hinges (design may vary slightly). Press these buttons or lift the seat vertically from the hinge posts until it detaches. To reattach, align the seat with the hinge posts and press down firmly until it clicks securely into place. Ensure both sides are properly engaged.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Clean the hinges regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or acidic cleaning agents, as these can damage the chrome finish and hinge mechanism.

5.2 Inspection

Periodically check the hinges for any signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. If the hinges become loose, gently tighten the fasteners as described in the installation section. If any part appears damaged or excessively worn, consider replacing the hinge set to maintain proper function and safety.

6. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Toilet seat is loose or wobbly.
  Solution: Ensure the hinge fasteners are securely tightened to the toilet pan. Check that the seat is correctly engaged with the easy-release mechanism on both hinges.
• Issue: Hinges appear stiff or difficult to operate.
  Solution: Remove the toilet seat and clean any accumulated dirt, debris, or mineral deposits around the hinge mechanism. Reattach the seat and test. For standard close hinges, lubrication is generally not required, but if necessary, a very small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points, avoiding oil-based products.
• Issue: Chrome finish is dull or stained.
  Solution: Refer to the cleaning instructions in Section 5.1. Ensure you are using only mild, non-abrasive cleaners and drying the surface thoroughly after cleaning.
