Troubleshooting

Seat does not lower slowly

Ensure the hinges are correctly installed and the seat is properly aligned. Check for any obstruction around the hinge mechanism.

Holes do not align with toilet bowl bolts

This seat is designed for standard oval bowls. Measure your bowl dimensions and compare with the product specifications. A non-standard bowl may require a different seat model.

Loose seat after installation

Re-tighten the nuts and bolts securing the hinges to the toilet bowl. Ensure all washers are correctly in place.

Wood finish appears dull or damaged

Stop using abrasive cleaners immediately. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. For significant damage, re-application of a suitable wood sealant might be considered, following manufacturer guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation is designed to be simple. Ensure you have a Phillips head screwdriver. Align the hinges with the bolt holes on your toilet bowl. Insert the provided bolts from underneath and secure them with the accompanying nuts and washers. Adjust the seat alignment as needed before fully tightening.

Compatibility: This seat is designed to fit most standard oval-shaped toilet bowls. The main dimensions are 37cm (width) x 43cm (depth) x 5cm (height), with inner dimensions of 22cm (width) x 27cm (depth). It is recommended to measure your existing toilet bowl before purchase to ensure a proper fit, especially if you have a non-standard or D-shaped bowl.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the wooden seat, clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent moisture from seeping into the wood. Ensure the soft-close mechanism is free from debris.
