What is the benefit of the 'soft close' feature?

The soft close feature ensures the seat and lid lower gently and quietly, preventing slamming noises and potential damage to the seat or toilet.

Very easy. The seat features quick-release fixings that allow you to detach it from the hinges in seconds for thorough cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Seat does not close slowly.

Ensure the hinges are properly aligned and not obstructed. Check that the seat is correctly attached to the fixings. The soft-close mechanism may require a gentle initial push to engage.

Quick release mechanism is stiff or won't engage.

Clean the hinge area thoroughly to remove any debris. Check for any obstructions around the release buttons. Ensure the seat is aligned correctly when reattaching.

Seat is wobbly after installation.

Re-tighten the top-fix bolts securely. Ensure the seat is correctly seated onto the fixings. If the issue persists, check if the toilet bowl bolt holes are standard size and compatible with the provided fixings.

Damage to the surface (e.g., peeling foil).

This typically indicates exposure to excessive moisture or harsh cleaning agents. Discontinue use of such products and clean with a damp cloth. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
