PRODUCT FEATURES

• Dual Stainless Steel Nozzles – separate stainless steel nozzles resist soiling and bacterial contamination for enhanced hygiene. The dual nozzle configuration ensures accurate coverage for all types of users.
• Aerated Wash Spray – micro-bubbles introduced into the wash spray create a gentler, softer wash action designed for sensitive skin. In addition, the aerated spray reduces overall water consumption  and is more effective in washing the skin.
• Positionable Nozzles – each nozzle has seven different positions to ensure the most comfortable and complete wash.
• Ergonomic Heated Seat – with four temperature settings (High/Med/Low/Off).
• Night Light – an illuminating night light means no more blinding lights during midnight trips to the bathroom.
• Sturdy, “Sittable” Lid – the strong bidet seat lid will support up to 270 pounds.
• Gentle Closing Seat and Lid – “slam free” gentle closing seat and lid are user friendly.
• Instant and Endless Warm Water – the cutting-edge instant ceramic heating system ensures an endless warm water stream for posterior and feminine washes.

• Wireless Remote Control – the intuitive remote control comes with a convenient magnetic dock and mounting bracket, and includes its own Eco Mode to conserve battery life.
• Two User Memory Settings – personalize your settings like water temperature, water pressure, and even the spray width to your own preferences and retain them with two programmable profile settings.
• “Auto” Function – activates a preset for either a Front or Rear wash cycle. The Dry cycle will then activate with the Swash 1400. See page 22 for more details.
• Automatic Eco Mode – this function automatically lowers the seat temperature ten minutes after the Swash was last used.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. WATCH OUR INSTALLATION VIDEO
2. Installation for all Swash products can be found online at brondell.com
3. CHECK FOR TOP MOUNT INSTALLATION
4. If your fixture only has top-side access to the mounting bolts that hold the seat to the toilet, you will likely need to purchase the Swash Bidet Seat Top Mount Hardware Kit, found on brondell.com.
5. CHECK FOR A CONCEALED TOILET FILL VALVE
6. Many modern toilets have sleek designs intended to cover and camouflage plumbing connections, which makes a standard Swash installation difficult or impossible. For this, we recommend using our Alternate Swash Bidet Seat T-Valve, found on brondell.com.
7. CHECK WATER SUPPLY LINE
8. 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.
9. RESIDUAL MOISTURE IS NORMAL
10. 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.
11. TOOLS
12. 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 be helpful in creating a water-tight seat 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.

• 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 and toilet
• Turn Off Water Supply Valve and Flush Toilet
  •  Turn water valve off to stop the flow of water.
  • Flush toilet and hold down handle to completely empty tank.
  • Disconnect water supply hose from toilet tank. Do not disconnect from the water supply valve.
• 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 the Toilet Tank Fill Valve
  • Place the flat edge of the rubber washer into the T- Valve against the metal with the raised lip facing the toilet tank connection.
  •  Install the T-Valve with the rubber washer 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 at the wall.
  • Only connect to the cold toilet water supply line.
  • If your water supply line is rigid you may need to replace it before continuing.
•  Connect the water supply line coming from the wall to the bottom of the T-Valve.
• Install Mounting Plate
  • Place adjustable mounting plate over mounting holes on toilet, rubber side faces down, curved edge faces toward the toilet tank.
  • 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.
• Connect the Bidet Hose to the Seat
  • Connect the bidet hose to the water inlet. Hand-tighten to secure. Take care not to twist the bidet hose, exces­sively bend it, or strip the plastic screw threads when screwing the hose onto the bidet seat.
• Attach the Swash to the Mounting Plate
  • 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 nuts underneath the toilet and slide seat forward or backwards as needed. Once the seat is lined up properly, tighten barrel nuts to hold in place.
• Connect the open end of the Bidet Hose to the T-Valve.
• Turn On Water Supply
  • Open the main water supply valve slowly and check for leaks.
  • Wait 5 minutes, check again and if there are no leaks continue.
• Connect Power
  • Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
  • If desired, use the included Cable Clips to connect the power cord and bidet hose side-by-side for a tidier appearance.

NOTES

• Make sure to only use a grounded GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) electrical outlet. In the case of a short circuit, a grounded GFCI outlet may help prevent electric shock or injury.
• If it is necessary to use an extension cord, only use those rated for a minimum of 15 amps with a three­wire extension cord with a three-blade grounding plug.

REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION

1. Battery Installation
2. Separate the remote control from the magnetic dock.
3. Turn remote over and open the child-proof battery compartment by popping off the battery cover with flat-head screwdriver or small coin. Insert the four included CR2032 batteries “plus” side up and replace battery cover.
4.  To confirm the batteries are installed correctly, press the Stop button and you should see the “Wide Spray” LED light turn on for a few seconds (NOTE: the 2 other LED lights may or may not turn on at this time depending on the current settings).
5. Mount Remote (optional)
6.  Identify a location in the bathroom for the remote control that is visible and reachable from the toilet.
7. Depending on the wall type, you can install using the supplied screws and anchor mounts or use the provided double stick tape on the back of the remote wall mount.
8. Make sure the remote mount is fully secure with either method so that it does not fall and damage the remote control.
9. Place the remote control into the mount as shown.
