5. Installation Guide
Follow these steps for a quick and easy installation of your new toilet lid.
- Prepare the Toilet: Ensure the toilet bowl is clean and dry. If replacing an old seat, remove it completely and clean the mounting area.
- Position the Hinges: Place the metal hinges into the mounting holes on the toilet bowl. Ensure the hinges are aligned correctly with the toilet seat.
- Attach Mounting Hardware: Insert the screws through the hinges and the toilet bowl holes. From underneath the toilet, attach the washers and nuts to the screws.
- Secure the Seat: Place the toilet lid and seat assembly onto the hinges. Adjust the position of the seat to ensure it is centered and aligned with the bowl.
- Tighten Screws: Once aligned, carefully tighten the nuts from underneath the toilet. Do not overtighten; ensure the seat is secure but not stressed.
- Check Stability: Gently test the seat for stability. It should not wobble or shift.

6. Operating Instructions
The Pipishell toilet lid features a soft-close mechanism for quiet and gentle operation.
6.1 Soft-Close Function
To engage the soft-close function, simply push the lid or seat downwards gently. The integrated mechanism will slowly and quietly lower the lid and seat to the closed position without slamming. Avoid forcing the lid or seat down, as this can damage the soft-close mechanism over time.

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Pipishell toilet lid.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the toilet lid regularly with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild, non-abrasive soap.
