GROUNDING & GFI OUTLET INSTRUCTIONS
- This product should only be used with a grounded GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) outlet and a grounded 3 prong electrical cord as shown in figure A. In the event of an electrical short circuit, using a grounded GFI outlet reduces the risk of electric shock.
- This product is equipped with a grounded cord and is for use on a nominal 120V circuit only (min 15 amps) and must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded with a GFI
breaker as shown. Replace or repair a damaged cord immediately.
DANGER- 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 serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

- The length of the hose and the size of the connectors will vary.
Residual Moisture is Normal
Every product is tested with pure water during production to ensure the
highest quality and performance. It is normal to find a small amount of
residual moisture on the product and in the reservoir and filter.
-
Tools:
A Phillips head or standard screwdriver may be needed to remove the existing toilet seat
and a standard wrench may be needed for tight water supply connections. -
Installation:
Please read these instructions carefully before installing the Swash. Failure to do so could result in flooding, leaking or damage to the product.
-
Existing Toilet Seat Removal
-
Lift hinge covers and use a screwdriver to remove the mounting bolts.
-
Remove the toilet seat.
Note: Steps may vary by type of seat. -
Turn Off Water Supply Valve and Flush Toilet
-
Turn water valve off completely to stop the flow of water.
-
Flush toilet and hold down handle to completely empty tank.
-
Disconnect water supply hose from toilet tank.
Important notes: -
You may wish to place a container under the tank to catch any excess water.
-
Do not continue without completing the above steps. Failure to do so could result in flooding, leaking or damage to the Swash.
-
Connect T-Valve to Water Supply Line and Toilet Tank
Note: The T-Valve connects to the fill valve directly under your toilet tank – it does not connect at the wall.
Note: Only connect cold (from your toilet water supply line).
Note: If your water supply line is rigid you may need to replace it before continuing. -
Install the T-Valve with the rubber washer to the incoming water connection on the bottom of your toilet tank. Be sure that you place the flat edge of the rubber washer into the T-Valve against the metal with the raised lip facing the toilet tank connection.
-
Connect the water supply line coming from the wall to the bottom of the T-Valve.
-
Connect Bidet Hose to T-Valve
a. Connect one end of the bidet hose to the T-Valve and set aside. -
Install Mounting Plate & Attach Swash
-
Place adjustable mounting plate over mounting holes on toilet, flat side down, black rubber side of mounting plate should be closest to the toilet tank and rubber should be against the ceramic.
-
Place adjustable brackets flat side down in the center of the square opening in the mounting plate and insert mounting bolts through adjustable brackets and mounting holes. Be sure that the square mounting bolt head is even with sides of adjustable bracket.
-
Slide rubber cone washer, flat washer, and then barrel nut onto mounting bolts under the toilet bowl and tighten to keep mounting plate in place.
-
Set the Swash flat on the toilet bowl in front of the mounting plate, and slide seat onto plate until it is secure and “clicks” into place.
-
If the seat appears too short or too long for the toilet, adjust the mounting plate accordingly. To adjust the mounting plate, loosen barrel nut and slide seat forward or backwards as needed. Once the seat is lined up properly, tighten barrel nuts to hold in place.

Wait 5 minutes, check again and if there are no leaks continue.
-
Connect Power
-
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
-
Important: Make sure to only use a grounded GFI (ground fault interrupter) electrical outlet. In the case of a short circuit, a grounded GFI outlet may help prevent electric shock or injury. If using an extension cord is unavoidable, use one with grounding terminals for 120V~/60 Hz or higher only.
Installing the Remote Control
- Battery Installation
- Separate the remote control from the magnetic wall mount by pulling apart gently.
