- Turn off Water Supply and Remove Toilet Seat: Locate the water supply valve behind your toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water. Flush the toilet to drain the tank. Remove your existing toilet seat by unscrewing the bolts at the back.

- Connect the T-Valve: Disconnect the water supply hose from the toilet tank. Ensure the rubber washer is properly seated inside the T-valve. Attach the T-valve to the toilet tank fill valve. Reattach your original water supply line to the bottom of the T-valve.

- Connect Bidet Hose: Connect one end of the provided bidet hose to the T-valve and the other end to the inlet on the side of the bidet attachment. Hand-tighten all connections, then use an adjustable wrench for a quarter-turn to ensure a secure, leak-free fit.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the water supply valve counter-clockwise to restore water flow to the toilet and bidet. Check all connections for leaks.

- The nozzles retract automatically when the water is turned off.
3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning the Nozzles
- To clean the nozzles, gently pull them out manually.
- Use a soft brush and mild soap to clean the nozzle tips.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and push them back into their retracted position.
3.2 General Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the bidet attachment with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage the finish.
3.3 Winterization
As a non-electric bidet, the SlimEdge does not require complex winterization procedures. However, if the bidet is installed in an unheated area where temperatures may drop below freezing, it is recommended to:
- Shut off the water supply to the bidet.
- Disconnect the bidet hose and drain any remaining water from the bidet and hose to prevent freezing and potential damage.
4. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
