2. Turn Off Water Supply:

   Locate the water shut-off valve on the wall behind your toilet and turn it off. Flush the toilet to drain the tank completely. You may want a small bucket or towel to catch any residual water.

3. Disconnect Flexible Supply Line:

   Unscrew the flexible water supply line from the fill valve located beneath the toilet tank.

4. Install T-Valve:

   Insert the provided rubber washer (with the raised lip facing up) into the T-valve. Connect the T-valve to the fill valve under the toilet tank. Reconnect the flexible supply line to the bottom of the T-valve.

5. Mounting Plate Installation:

   Place the mounting plate over the bolt holes on your toilet, ensuring the arrow on the plate points towards the toilet tank. Insert the adjustable brackets into the mounting plate and align them with the toilet seat bolt holes.

6. Secure Mounting Bolts:

   Slide the mounting bolts through the mounting plate and the holes in the toilet. Secure the bolts with the provided washers and nuts from underneath the toilet. Leave the nuts loose enough to allow for seat position adjustment later.

7. Attach Bidet Seat:

   Place your Swash bidet seat flat onto the toilet in front of the mounting plate. Slide the bidet seat towards the tank onto the mounting plate until it clicks securely into place.

8. Adjust Seat Position:

   To achieve the best fit, slide your bidet seat forward or backward as needed. Once positioned correctly, tighten the nuts under the toilet to secure the seat firmly.

9. Connect Bidet Hose:

   Connect the plastic side of the bidet hose to the water inlet on the side of your Swash bidet seat. Then, connect the metal end of the bidet hose to the T-valve.

10. Restore Water and Power:

    Slowly turn on the water supply at the shut-off valve and check all connections for leaks. If no leaks are present, plug the Swash bidet seat into the nearest GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. The bidet will immediately power on, and the nozzle will extend and retract as part of its self-test.

Operating Instructions

The Brondell CL1700 features an intuitive wireless remote control for easy operation. Ensure you are seated on the bidet seat to engage the seat sensor and enable full functionality.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your Brondell Swash bidet seat.

• General Cleaning:

  Unplug the unit and turn off the water supply before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the bidet seat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the finish.

• Nozzle Cleaning:

  The stainless-steel nozzle performs an automatic self-cleaning cycle before and after each use. For additional cleaning, you can manually extend the nozzle (refer to your remote control instructions) and gently wipe it with a soft cloth or brush. Do not force the nozzle.
