4. Setup and Installation
This section guides you through the installation process. It is recommended to have basic plumbing knowledge or consult a professional if unsure.
4.1 Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Verify your toilet is a Round type. The LE99-RW is designed for round toilets.
- Ensure a standard 120V AC GFCI electrical outlet is available within 3 feet of the toilet.
- Confirm access to the toilet's water supply valve.
4.2 Toilet Fitment Guide:
Accurate measurements are crucial for proper fitment.
- Measure the distance from the bolt holes to the front of the toilet bowl. For a round bidet seat, this should be 16"-17.75".
- The distance from the center of the bolt holes to the toilet tank must be at least 1.5".
- The distance between the bolt holes must be 5.25"-7.45".

- Connect Bidet Hose: Attach one end of the bidet hose to the T-valve and the other end to the bidet seat's water inlet.
- Mounting Plate Installation: Place the mounting plate over the toilet bowl holes. Insert the mounting bolts and secure them with the rubber cone washers and nuts from underneath. Adjust the plate position as needed.
- Attach Bidet Seat: Slide the bidet seat onto the mounting plate until it clicks into place.
