Operating Instructions
The DeerValley DV-1F52813 toilet features a dual-flush system designed for efficient water usage.
Dual Flush Mechanism:
- Light Flush (0.8 GPF): Press the smaller button on the top of the tank for liquid waste. This uses less water, promoting water conservation.
- Full Flush (1.28 GPF): Press the larger button for solid waste. This provides a powerful flush while still maintaining high efficiency.

Soft-Closing Seat:
The toilet is equipped with a soft-closing seat. To close, simply push the seat down gently, and it will lower slowly and quietly on its own, preventing slamming and reducing wear.

Maintenance

Cleaning:
- The fully skirted trapway and glazed surface design make cleaning easier by eliminating hard-to-reach corners and grooves.
- Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the ceramic glaze.
- For the toilet seat, use a mild soap and water solution.
