Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your smart toilet. It is recommended to have a qualified plumber perform the installation.
Pre-Installation Steps
- Drain Outlet Centerline: Draw the drain outlet centerline on the floor. Ensure the drain outlet is positioned correctly relative to the wall (typically 10-12 inches from the wall).
- Water Supply Check: Connect a water hose to the shut-off valve. Fully open the shut-off valve and fill a bucket for 10 seconds. Measure if the water volume is greater than 1.05 gallons per 10 seconds to ensure adequate water pressure.
- Install Shut-off Valve: Install the shut-off valve on the wall at the designated water supply point.
- Outline Toilet Footprint: Outline the toilet's footprint on the floor using a pencil or tape, referencing the provided cardboard template for accurate placement.
Mounting and Connections
- Assemble Mounting Bracket: Assemble the mounting bracket with bolts and secure them to the pre-installed flange on the ground. Tighten with nuts.
- Install Wax Ring: Place the wax ring over the drain outlet to create a watertight seal.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the toilet's water supply lines to the shut-off valve. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Power Connection: Plug the toilet into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions
Your CANEST Smart Toilet is equipped with various intelligent features designed for comfort and hygiene. Familiarize yourself with these functions for optimal use.
Full-Area Smarter Seat Sensor
The smart toilet seat features distributed sensors across its entire surface. The bidet functions activate as soon as you sit down (for users over 26.45 lbs). This design eliminates the need to cover a fixed point, making it user-friendly for children, seniors, and individuals with limited mobility.

Foam Shield Protection System
An automatic foam shield dispenses before each use. This feature prevents splashing, helps trap odors within the bowl, maintains a cleaner surface, and enhances overall bathroom cleanliness.

Seasonal Auto Temperature Control
The smart toilet automatically adjusts the seat temperature to keep it warm in winter and comfortably cool in summer. This feature is off by default; refer to the manual's activation section for first-time use. You can also use the remote control to fine-tune temperature settings manually.

Powerful Tankless Flush
The tankless design utilizes an electronically-controlled valve system for strong and consistent flushing performance, using only 1.28 GPF (Gallons Per Flush). This system ensures reliable waste removal, conserves water, and maintains flushing capability even during power outages.

Precision Foot Sensor Operation
A foot sensor projects a defined detection zone in front of the toilet, allowing you to activate the lid or flush with a simple step. This design ensures faster, more accurate, and truly hands-free operation compared to side-mounted sensors.

First-Class Wide Ergonomic Seat
The CANEST smart toilet features a widened, ergonomic seat structure, providing extra space and support for enhanced stability and comfort during both short and long sitting sessions. This design accommodates various body types for a relaxing experience.

Quiet Operation and Night-Friendly Design

Instant Warm Water with Self-Cleaning Nozzles
The bidet delivers instantly heated water combined with air-infusion technology for a gentler and more comfortable wash for both rear and feminine areas. The nozzles feature a top-pin self-cleaning design, ensuring cleanliness before and after each use without manual disassembly.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your CANEST Smart Toilet.
Foam Dispenser Refill
To refill the foam dispenser, tap the eject button to release the foam solution container. Prepare the mixing bottle with a 1:1 ratio of detergent to water, shake well, and then insert the funnel to pour the mixture into the dispenser. Do not use undiluted detergent directly, as it may damage the foaming mechanism.

Nozzle Cleaning
The bidet nozzles are designed with a self-cleaning function that activates before and after each use. For additional cleaning, you can manually extend the nozzle and wipe it with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the nozzle.
General Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the toilet with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive pads, as these can damage the finish and electronic components. Regularly wipe down the seat and lid.
