Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Ensure you have all necessary tools and materials before starting.
- Prepare the Area: Turn off the main water supply to the bathroom. Remove any existing toilet and clean the floor flange area thoroughly.
- Install Wax Ring: Place a new wax ring around the drain opening on the floor flange.
- Position the Comode: Carefully lift the one-piece comode and align the bolt holes on the base with the bolts on the floor flange. Gently lower the comode, pressing down firmly to create a seal with the wax ring.
- Secure the Comode: Install washers and nuts onto the flange bolts. Tighten them evenly, alternating sides, until the comode is secure. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the ceramic.
- Connect Water Supply: Attach the water supply line to the fill valve inlet on the comode's tank. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a quarter turn. Do not overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply slowly and check all connections for leaks. Flush the toilet several times to ensure proper operation and check for any leaks around the base or water supply line.
- Install Toilet Seat: Follow the instructions provided with the toilet seat for proper attachment to the bowl.
Operating Instructions
The Parryware Aster Range Comode is designed for simple and efficient operation.
- Flushing: Press the flush button located on top of the tank to activate the flushing mechanism.
- Water Level: The water level in the tank should automatically refill to the designated line after each flush. If the water level is consistently too high or too low, refer to the troubleshooting section.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper care will ensure the longevity and hygienic performance of your comode.
- Cleaning the Ceramic: Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners. Use a soft cloth or sponge.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals like acid, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the ceramic glaze and metal fixtures, leading to scaling and discoloration.
- Cleaning the Seat: Clean the toilet seat and cover with mild soap and water.
- Inspect for Leaks: Periodically check the water supply line and base for any signs of leaks.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the following common issues and their potential solutions:
- Toilet Not Flushing Properly:
- Check if the water supply valve is fully open.
