Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your toilet seat. Please follow these steps carefully.

Components Included:

• Roca Carmen SUPRALIT Toilet Lid
• Roca Carmen SUPRALIT Toilet Seat
• Mounting Hardware (hinges, bolts, washers, nuts)

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Adjustable Wrench or Pliers
• Screwdriver (if applicable for hinge adjustment)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Toilet Bowl: Ensure the toilet bowl's mounting holes are clean and free of debris. If replacing an old seat, remove it completely.
2. Attach Hinges to Seat: Align the hinges with the designated slots on the underside of the toilet seat. Secure them firmly, ensuring they are correctly oriented for installation onto the toilet bowl.
3. Position the Seat: Place the toilet seat assembly onto the toilet bowl, aligning the hinge bolts with the mounting holes on the ceramic.
4. Secure the Mounting Hardware: From underneath the toilet bowl, slide the washers onto the bolts, followed by the nuts. Hand-tighten the nuts initially.
5. Adjust Alignment: Adjust the position of the seat to ensure it is perfectly centered and aligned with the toilet bowl.
6. Final Tightening: Once aligned, use an adjustable wrench or pliers to firmly tighten the nuts. Be careful not to overtighten, as this could damage the ceramic or the mounting hardware.
7. Test Damped Drop Function: Gently lift the lid and seat and let them go. They should close slowly and quietly due to the damped drop mechanism.

Operating Instructions

The Roca Carmen SUPRALIT Toilet Lid and Seat is designed for simple and intuitive operation.

Damped Drop Function:

This toilet seat features a "damped drop" or soft-close mechanism. When you lower the lid or seat, the integrated dampers will engage, causing it to descend slowly and quietly until it rests on the toilet bowl. This prevents loud slamming noises and reduces the risk of damage to the seat or toilet.

• To close the lid or seat, simply push it downwards gently. The damped mechanism will take over.
• Do not force the lid or seat down, as this can damage the soft-close mechanism.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and hygienic condition of your Roca SUPRALIT toilet seat, follow these maintenance guidelines.

Cleaning:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the seat regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap and water.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong acids, alkalis, or chlorine-based products (e.g., bleach) as these can damage the SUPRALIT surface and the hinges.
• Rinse and Dry: After cleaning, rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Hinge Care: Periodically wipe the hinges with a damp cloth and dry them. Avoid getting excessive water into the hinge mechanism.

Inspection:

• Periodically check the mounting bolts to ensure they are still tight. If the seat feels loose, gently retighten the nuts.
• Inspect the damped drop mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff or stops working, refer to the troubleshooting section.
