FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Milano Richmond toilet seat?
The seat measures 375mm in width and 435mm in length, with a height of 60mm. The adjustable fixing centres range from 70mm to 165mm.
How do I clean the brushed brass hinges?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For tarnishing or deeper cleaning, use a dedicated brass cleaner, following the cleaner's instructions carefully, and avoid abrasive materials.
Is this toilet seat suitable for all toilet bowls?
It is designed primarily for traditional, curved toilet bowls with fixing centres between 70mm and 165mm. It may not fit angular or non-standard shaped bowls.
How does the quick release mechanism work?
The seat attaches to the hinges via a clip system. Typically, there's a button or lever on the hinge base that, when pressed, allows the seat to be detached from the hinge arms for easy cleaning.
What is the material of the toilet seat?
The seat is made from high-quality engineered wood, which is treated for moisture resistance and features an oak effect finish.
Will the soft close mechanism wear out over time?
The soft-close mechanism is designed to reduce wear and tear by preventing slamming. While all mechanical parts have a lifespan, this design significantly extends the longevity of the hinges compared to standard non-closing hinges.
Can I replace just the hinges if they break?
The hinges are integrated into the design. If a hinge fails, replacement of the entire toilet seat is typically required. Please refer to warranty information for specific coverage.
Troubleshooting
Toilet seat does not close slowly.
Ensure the hinges are properly installed and aligned. Check that there are no obstructions preventing smooth movement. If the issue persists, the soft-close mechanism may be faulty.
Seat is wobbly or loose.
Tighten the top fixings securely. Ensure the seat is properly clicked onto the hinges. Re-check the compatibility of the fixing centres with your toilet pan.
Quick release mechanism is difficult to operate.
Ensure the hinges are clean and free from debris. Try gently wiggling the seat while attempting to release it. Refer to the installation manual for specific instructions on releasing the seat.
Oak effect finish appears to be damaged.
Cease use of abrasive cleaners. Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. If damage is significant, contact customer support.
