Operating Instructions

Quiet-Close Functionality

The Quiet-Close lid and seat prevent slamming. Simply push the seat or lid down gently, and it will close slowly and silently on its own. Avoid forcing it down, as this can damage the mechanism.

Nightlight Operation

The integrated Nightlight technology allows you to safely locate the toilet in the dark. It offers a choice of three brightness levels, which can be adjusted via a control on the seat. An LED guide light operates on a 10-hour cycle, providing illumination to the bowl when the lid is lifted.

Grip-Tight Bumpers

The unique Grip-Tight bumpers hold the seat firmly in place, preventing shifting during use and enhancing stability.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your toilet seat. The ReadyLatch hinge makes seat removal easy for thorough cleaning.

Removing the Seat for Cleaning

To remove the seat, simply lift the hinge covers and disengage the ReadyLatch mechanism. Lift the seat with an upward motion to detach it from the mounting posts. This allows for easy access to clean both the seat and the toilet bowl area.

Cleaning Instructions

• Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the plastic finish.
• For the nightlight components, wipe gently with a damp cloth and ensure they are dry before re-installing the seat.

Troubleshooting

Seat is Loose or Shifts

If the seat feels loose or shifts during use, check the ReadyLatch mounting hardware. Ensure the screws are tightened securely and the hinge covers are properly engaged. The Grip-Tight bumpers should also be in good condition and making proper contact with the bowl.

Nightlight Not Functioning

If the nightlight does not turn on or is dim, check the batteries (if applicable). Replace them if necessary, ensuring correct polarity. Verify that the brightness level is set appropriately. If the issue persists after replacing batteries or if your model is not battery-powered, contact Kohler customer support.
