3. Operating Instructions

3.2 Soft-Close Seat (if applicable)
If equipped with a soft-close seat, gently push the seat or lid downwards. The soft-close mechanism will engage, allowing the seat to close slowly and quietly without slamming, preventing damage and reducing noise.
4. Care and Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning the CEFIONTECT Surface
The CEFIONTECT glaze provides an exceptionally smooth, ion-barrier surface that helps keep the bowl cleaner for longer. To clean, use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or brushes, as these can damage the glaze and reduce its effectiveness.
4.2 General Cleaning
Regular cleaning of the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap will maintain the toilet's appearance. For the trip lever, use a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Clogging Issues
The TOTO Promenade II toilet is designed with the Tornado Flush system to minimize clogging. If a clog occurs, use a standard toilet plunger. If the issue persists, it may indicate a problem with the drain line or installation, and professional assistance should be sought.
5.2 Leaks
If you observe any leaks around the base of the toilet or from the tank, first check all connections for tightness. Ensure the wax ring is properly seated. If leaks continue, contact a qualified plumber for inspection and repair.
