Installation
Push the expanding plugs (part 1) into the holes on the toilet pan then place the gaskets (part 2) between fitting pegs (part 3) and toilet pan. Next, place the long screws (part 4) through the fitting pegs and gaskets and screw into the expanding plug (part 1).
[Diagram 1: Shows expanding plugs being inserted into toilet pan holes, followed by gaskets, fitting pegs, and screws being loosely fitted.]
Please note: Fit the screws loosely and do not fully tighten at this stage.
Turn the fittings on the toilet so that they align with the holes on the seat, then push the seat onto the pegs until it clicks into place. Gently move the seat so that it aligns on the toilet pan.
[Diagram 2: Shows seat fittings being aligned with seat holes, and the seat being pushed onto the pegs.]
Once the seat is aligned, tighten the screws into the fittings. Once the seat is secured, remove it by pressing both buttons and lifting away.
[Diagram 3: Shows screws being tightened, and then buttons being pressed to lift the seat away.]
Place the fitting covers over the fixed fittings then push the seat onto the fitting pegs and click into position.

Using
During use, do not force the seat closed as this will damage the soft close mechanism. Pull the seat and/or lid towards you slightly until it reaches the point at which it will fall under its own weight, then release.
Do not stand on the toilet seat.
Cleaning
To maintain the surface of your product, wipe with a clean damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or materials.
It is recommended to wipe the seat and fittings on a regular basis.
Troubleshooting
Seat becomes loose after a period of use
Remove the seat and re-tighten the fittings.
Soft close mechanism stops working
The mechanism cannot be replaced. Replace the seat and lid; however, the fittings can remain fitted. Removal of seat/lid is advised in Maintenance (below).
Seat is short or overhangs the toilet pan
Align the seat lid with the front edge of the toilet pan; the fittings are adjustable.
Maintenance
- To remove the seat/lid, press the two buttons at the rear of the seat and pull the seat/lid away from the fitting pegs. When replacing, ensure it clicks into place.
- To access the fixing screws, remove the lid/seat as above, then pull off the covers.
