3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Dual Flush System:
The Carré toilet features a dual-flush system, allowing you to choose between a partial flush for liquid waste and a full flush for solid waste, conserving water with each use. The flush buttons are typically located on the wall plate above the toilet, connected to the concealed tank carrier.
3.2 Soft-Close Seat:
The toilet seat is equipped with a soft-close mechanism to prevent slamming and reduce noise. Simply push the seat down gently, and it will close slowly and quietly on its own.
4. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your toilet.
4.1 Cleaning the Toilet Bowl:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft brush or cloth to clean the ceramic surfaces.
- The skirted trapway design simplifies cleaning the exterior of the bowl, as it conceals the plumbing.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
4.2 Cleaning the Seat:
The quick-release feature of the seat allows for thorough cleaning of both the seat and the toilet bowl rim.
- To remove the seat, locate the quick-release buttons or tabs near the hinges and press them to detach the seat.
- Clean the seat and hinges with a mild soap and water solution.
- Clean the toilet bowl rim thoroughly.
- Reattach the seat by aligning the hinges with the posts and pressing down until they click into place.
