2. Setup and Installation

Professional installation is recommended for this product. Ensure all local plumbing codes are followed. Before starting, verify all components are present and undamaged.

2.1. Required Tools and Materials (Not Included)

• Adjustable Wrench
• Screwdriver (Phillips and Flathead)
• Putty Knife
• Wax Ring with Flange
• Toilet Bolts and Washers
• Sealant (Plumber's Putty or Silicone Caulk)
• Measuring Tape
• Level

2.2. Pre-Installation Steps

1. Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your bathroom or home and turn it off. Flush the existing toilet to drain the tank.
2. Remove Old Toilet (if applicable): Disconnect the water supply line, remove the mounting nuts, and carefully lift and remove the old toilet. Clean the flange area thoroughly.
3. Inspect Drain: Ensure the floor flange is securely attached to the floor and is free of debris.

2.3. Installation Procedure

1. Install Wax Ring: Place a new wax ring with a plastic horn onto the toilet's drain opening (horn facing down) or directly onto the floor flange.
2. Position Toilet Bowl: Carefully align the toilet bowl over the floor bolts and lower it straight down onto the wax ring. Apply firm, even pressure to seat the bowl. Do not rock the toilet.
3. Secure Toilet Bowl: Place washers and nuts onto the toilet bolts. Hand-tighten the nuts, then use a wrench to tighten them incrementally, alternating between bolts, until the toilet is secure and level. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the ceramic.
4. Install Tank: Place the tank onto the back of the toilet bowl, aligning the bolt holes. Secure the tank to the bowl using the provided bolts, washers, and nuts. Ensure the tank-to-bowl gasket is properly seated.
5. Connect Water Supply: Attach the flexible water supply line from the shut-off valve to the fill valve on the toilet tank. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final snug turn.
6. Seal Base: Apply a bead of silicone caulk around the base of the toilet where it meets the floor. This provides a finished look and prevents water from seeping underneath.
7. Turn on Water Supply: Slowly open the water shut-off valve and allow the tank to fill. Check for leaks around all connections.
8. Test Flush: Flush the toilet several times to ensure proper operation and check for any leaks.

3. Operation

The Villeroy & Boch SUBWAY 2-PC Toilet Bowl operates with a standard flush mechanism. To flush, simply press the flush button located on the top of the tank. This model is designed for efficient water usage while maintaining powerful flushing performance.

• Flushing: Press the chrome button on the top of the tank firmly and release.
• Refill: The tank will automatically refill after each flush.

4. Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Villeroy & Boch toilet.

4.1. Cleaning Instructions

• Exterior: Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can damage the ceramic finish.
• Interior: For the bowl interior, use a toilet brush with a non-abrasive toilet bowl cleaner. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
• Seat: Clean the toilet seat with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals, as they can damage the seat material (Polypropylene).
• Frequency: Clean regularly to prevent buildup of stains and mineral deposits.

4.2. General Maintenance Tips

• Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect the base of the toilet and all connections for any signs of water leaks. Address leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
• Inspect Internal Components: Occasionally check the fill valve and flush valve inside the tank for proper operation and wear.
