Before Installation

  • CAUTION Do not plug the product in while the unit is upside down. This may cause damage to the internal components.

Watch our installation video

  • Installation for all Swash products can be found online at brondell.com

Check bolt spread

  • This bidet seat can only be installed on toilets with a bolt-hole spread of 5.3–7.7”.
  • (see Product Dimensions on page 8 for more information).
  • Check for a concealed toilet fill valve Many modern toilets have sleek designs intended to cover and camouflage plumbing connections, which make a standard Swash installation difficult or impossible.
  • For this, we recommend using our Alternate Swash Bidet Seat T-valve, found on brondell.com.

Check the water supply line

  • Check the line that connects the toilet tank to the water shut-off valve. If it is a rigid pipe, you may need to purchase a flexible hose to replace it before installing the Swash. 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.

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. Teflon tape can help create a water-tight seal between plumbing connections.

Swash Installation

  • Please read these instructions carefully before installing the Swash. Failure to do so could result in flooding, leaking, or damage to the product.
  • NOTE: Steps may vary by type of seat and toilet
  1. Existing toilet seat removal
    • a. Lift hinge covers and use a screwdriver to remove the mounting bolts.
    • b. Remove the toilet seat; keep it for future use.
  2. Turn off the water supply valve and flush toilet
    • a. Turn the water valve off to stop the flow of water.

    • Failure to do so could result in flooding, leaking, or damage to the Swash.
  3. Connect the top of the T-valve to the incoming water connection on the bottom of your toilet tank
    • NOTES: The T-valve connects to the fill valve directly under your toilet tank—it does not connect to the wall.
    • Check to ensure the rubber washer sits flat inside of the T-valve.
    • Only connect to the cold toilet water supply line.
    • If your water supply line is rigid you may need to replace the water supply line before continuing.
  4. Connect the water supply line coming from the wall to the bottom of the T-valve
  5. Installing mounting plate
    • a. Wet the rubber anchors with water, squeeze the sides of the anchors, and firmly press them down into the mounting holes on top of the toilet.
    • TIP: Wetting the rubber anchors will allow for easier installation. The top of the anchors should be flat to the surface.
    • b. Place the mounting plate over the rubber anchors on the toilet.

    • c. Loosen the bolts and slide the mounting plate back or forth to readjust the placement; reinstall the seat and check the alignment to the edge of the toilet bowl (you may need to remove, readjust, and reinstall multiple times).
    • d. When the seat is lined up properly, tighten the bolts and reinstall the bidet seat.
  9. Connect the open end of the bidet hose to the T-valve
  10. Turn on the water supply
    • a. Open the main water supply valve slowly and check for leaks.
    • b. Wait 5 minutes, check again and, if there are no leaks, continue.
  11. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet; the nozzle will extend and retract.

MAINTENANCE

Seat Cleaning, Removal, & Nozzle Cleaning

CAUTION Unplug the Swash from the power source before cleaning or removing the seat.

Seat Cleaning and Removal

  • Use a soft, damp cloth and mild cleanser (such as dish soap, Simple Green, or Windex) to wipe down the seat. DO NOT scrub or use harsh, abrasive products to clean the seat.
  • DO NOT use thinner, benzene, acidic chemicals, chloride, or hydrochloric acid detergent. This may result in corrosion to the metal parts or discoloration or scratches to the bidet body.

  • NOTE: Be cautious of leaving home and beauty products in contact with the bidet seat, as irreversible discoloration can result. Most stains can be removed using a 1:1 mix of rubbing alcohol and water and a soft cloth or towel.
  • However, some permanent stains are the result of substances left on the seat while the seat heater was activated. Be cautious of home and beauty products (including, but not limited to: various hair and air freshener sprays, lotions, body wash, skin tanners, body butters, and oils) that come into contact with the seat. Wash off any substances that come into contact with the seat as soon as possible. If necessary, replacement seat parts can be purchased through Brondell customer support.

Mesh Filter and Carbon Deodorizer Cartridge

Cleaning the Mesh Filter

Cleaning intervals will differ depending on use and water quality. It is recommended to check the filter at least once per year.

  1. Turn off the water supply and hold the toilet flush lever down until all water has drained from the tank.
  2. Unplug the bidet seat, remove it from the toilet, and disconnect the bidet hose. You may want to use a bucket to catch any dripping water from the bidet hose.
  3. Remove the mesh filter from the water inlet with a pair of tweezers or needle-nosed pliers.
  4. Clean the filter with a toothbrush while running it under tap water to effectively remove any foreign substances or build-up.
