Installation
Tools Required:
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
- Soft cloth for cleaning
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Toilet Bowl: Ensure the mounting holes on the ceramic toilet bowl are clean and free from debris.
- Assemble Mounting Posts: Take one mounting post. Insert the screw through the top plate and into the expanding rubber fixing. Do not tighten fully yet.
- Insert into Toilet Holes: Place the assembled mounting post into one of the toilet bowl's mounting holes. The expanding rubber fixing should be inserted into the hole.
- Position and Tighten: Adjust the position of the mounting post to align with the hinge points of your toilet seat. Once aligned, use a screwdriver to tighten the screw. This will expand the rubber fixing, securing the post firmly in the toilet hole. Repeat for the second mounting post.
- Attach Toilet Seat: Align the toilet seat hinges with the installed mounting posts. Secure the toilet seat according to its specific instructions, typically by pushing it onto the posts or tightening a separate mechanism.
- Install Decorative Covers: Once the toilet seat is securely attached, place the decorative chrome covers over the mounting posts to conceal the hardware.
- Test Stability: Gently test the toilet seat to ensure it is stable and does not wobble. Adjust tightness if necessary.

Operation
Once correctly installed, the GROHE Mounting Kit 49529000 functions by providing a stable and secure anchor for your Bau Ceramic toilet seat and lid. The expanding rubber fixings ensure a tight fit within the toilet bowl's mounting holes, preventing movement and ensuring the toilet seat remains firmly in place during use.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the decorative chrome covers with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Periodic Check: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws. If the toilet seat feels loose, gently retighten the screws to ensure the expanding rubber fixings maintain a secure grip.
- Inspection: Inspect the components for any signs of wear or damage. Replace the kit if any parts are compromised.
