Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for quick and easy installation of your new toilet seat. A 5/8" (16mm) wrench may be required.

- Prepare New Seat: Lift the hinge covers on the new Mayfair Ashton toilet seat.
- Position Seat: Place the new toilet seat onto the toilet bowl, aligning the hinge posts with the bolt holes on the toilet.
- Insert Bolts: Insert the provided bolts (part A in the installation video) through the holes in the hinge and down into the toilet bowl holes.
- Attach Nuts: From underneath the toilet bowl, thread the nuts (part B in the installation video) onto the bolts. Lightly finger-tighten them.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Seat loosens or shifts | Nuts not tightened sufficiently during installation. | Re-tighten the nuts from underneath the toilet bowl using a 5/8" (16mm) wrench until the bottom nut snaps off. Ensure hinge covers are securely in place. |
| Slow-close mechanism not working | Seat may not be installed correctly or hinges are obstructed. | Ensure the seat is properly installed and aligned. Check for any obstructions around the hinges. The slow-close mechanism functions only when the seat is installed on the toilet bowl. |
| Difficulty cleaning around hinges | Accumulation of dirt or liquid. | The Clean Seal design minimizes this. For thorough cleaning, lift the hinge covers and wipe down the area with mild soap and water or anti-bacterial wipes. |
