Important Information

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a properly-grounded dedicated circuit protected by a Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)*. Use 120 V, 60 Hz, 15 A service. Do not remove the grounding pin or use a grounding adapter.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not immerse or flush the product with water.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not install this product in a location exposed to excessive moisture where condensation might form on the product surface. Provide adequate ventilation when bathing to avoid damage to the electronic components due to high humidity levels.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not supply electrical power to the unit until the plumbing installation work has been completed, as it may cause the product to malfunction.

CAUTION: Risk of property or product damage. Pushing or pulling on the water connection may cause water leakage.

NOTE: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified agent in order to avoid a hazard.

NOTE: This product contains thermal protectors that may trip during storage or transportation in warm conditions, causing the unit to not operate. Allow the unit to cool to room temperature before installation or operation.

Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes.

Connect the seat to a cold water supply of drinking quality with a pressure of 20 psi (139 kPa) - 80 psi (551 kPa).

*Outside North America, this may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt whether the product is properly grounded.

This product is factory equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Do not modify the plug provided — if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the connection should be made by qualified service personnel.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, a single cord may be used provided that the "Type" begins with "SJ", the cord is a 12 gauge, grounded (12/3), is no longer than 25 feet (7.6 meters), and is plugged into a GFCI* electrical outlet. Promptly replace an extension cord that exhibits any sign of damage.

*Outside North America, this may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).

NOTE: Covering the seat with plastic wrap is optional. The features can be tested while sitting on the seat or covering the wand with your hand.

NOTE: When testing the features, apply pressure to the occupancy sensor on the right side of the seat (facing the toilet). The features will not activate if there is no pressure on the sensor.

☐ Optional: Wrap the seat with plastic wrap to prevent water from spraying beyond the toilet while testing.
☐ Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. The seat will go through a power-up sequence. The seat will go silent when the power-up is complete.
□ Refer to the Homeowners Guide to test the seat features.
