Setup and Installation

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing your new toilet seat. Ensure the toilet surface is clean and dry before installation.

1. Prepare the Toilet: If replacing an old seat, remove it by unscrewing the nuts from the bolts underneath the toilet bowl rim. Clean the area thoroughly.
2. Position the Seat: Place the new Duravit toilet seat onto the toilet bowl, aligning the mounting holes on the seat with the holes on the toilet bowl.
3. Insert Mounting Bolts: Insert the provided mounting bolts through the holes in the toilet seat and down through the toilet bowl holes.
4. Secure with Washers and Nuts: From underneath the toilet bowl, place a washer onto each bolt, followed by a nut. Hand-tighten the nuts initially.
5. Adjust Alignment: Adjust the position of the toilet seat to ensure it is centered and properly aligned with the toilet bowl.
6. Final Tightening: Once aligned, use a wrench or appropriate tool to securely tighten the nuts. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the toilet or seat.

Operating the Soft-Close Feature

The Duravit DuraStyle toilet seat is equipped with a soft-close mechanism for both the seat and the lid, preventing slamming and reducing noise.

• To engage the soft-close feature, simply push the seat or lid down gently. The mechanism will take over, allowing it to close slowly and quietly.
• Do not force the seat or lid down, as this can damage the soft-close mechanism. Allow it to close at its own controlled pace.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Duravit toilet seat.

• Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap and water for regular cleaning. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive powders, scouring pads, strong detergents, disinfectants, or cleaners containing chlorine, ammonia, or acids, as these can damage the plastic material and finish.
• Hinge Care: Periodically check the mounting hardware for tightness and re-tighten if necessary. Keep the hinge area clean to ensure smooth operation.
