Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Toilet: Shut off the water supply to the toilet and flush to relieve pressure. Disconnect the existing supply tube from the fill valve.
2. Remove Old Seat: Remove your old toilet seat and thoroughly clean the surface around the mounting holes.
3. Install Mounting Bracket: Place the WASHLET seat mounting bracket over the toilet bowl holes. Secure it with the provided screws, tightening just enough to allow slight movement for alignment.
4. Attach Bidet Seat: Slide the WASHLET seat onto the mounting bracket until it clicks into place.
5. Connect Water Supply: Attach the WASHLET junction tee to the toilet's fill valve. Be careful not to cross-thread; finger-tight is sufficient. Connect the white supply line from the WASHLET to the junction tee.
6. Restore Water & Power: Turn the water supply back on and check for any leaks. Plug the WASHLET into a grounded 120V GFCI outlet.

Maintenance & Care

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic performance of your TOTO WASHLET.

• EWATER+ Cleaning: The EWATER+ system automatically mists the bowl and cleans the wand before and after each use, maintaining hygiene without harsh chemicals.
• Seat and Exterior: For external cleaning, use a non-bleach wipe (e.g., Chlorox wipe) on the seat, paying attention to outer and inner seams. Clean underneath the unit, including the small doors for the sprayer.
• Wand Cleaning: The self-cleaning wand extends and water runs into the toilet bowl, indicating the self-cleaning function has started.
• Filter Replacement: Periodically check and replace the water filter as needed to maintain optimal water quality and spray performance.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Low Water Pressure: If the spray pressure feels too soft, press the spray function button twice for increased pressure.
• Flickering Lights/Power Issues: Ensure the bidet is connected to a dedicated circuit, especially if the heated seat or dryer functions are used frequently, as high amperage draw can cause issues.
• Auto-Open Lid Sensitivity: If the auto-open lid activates too frequently (e.g., when just walking by), consider installing the unit in a bathroom where the toilet is in its own room or sufficiently far from other fixtures. This feature can also be disabled if desired.
• Spray Function Not Working: The WASHLET features a seat sensor to prevent the wand from spraying when no one is seated. To test the spray function, first press the seat down until you hear the 'sensor click', then cover the spray from the wand with a cup to prevent getting wet.
