Harbour Housewares Soft Close Wooden Toilet Seat - Light Oak

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all fixtures and fittings are present. (Refer to the included manual for a full list).
2. Remove Old Seat: Loosen the bolts holding your existing toilet seat in place, usually found underneath the toilet bowl. Remove the old seat.
3. Position New Mounts: Place the new mounting brackets onto the bolt holes of your toilet bowl. Ensure they are aligned correctly.
4. Attach Seat: Align the hinges of the new Harbour Housewares seat with the mounting brackets. Secure the seat onto the brackets using the provided bolts and washers. Do not overtighten initially.
5. Adjust and Tighten: Adjust the seat to ensure it is centered on the toilet bowl. Once satisfied with the alignment, firmly tighten all bolts from underneath the bowl until the seat is stable and does not wobble.

Compatibility

This toilet seat is designed to be a universal fit for most standard toilet bowls. However, it is always recommended to measure your existing toilet bowl's bolt-hole spacing and compare it with the new seat's specifications to ensure a perfect fit. Specifically, check the distance between the two mounting holes and the overall length/width of your toilet bowl.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your wooden toilet seat:

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, scourers, or strong detergents, as these can damage the wood finish.
• Avoid Excessive Moisture: While wood is resistant to temperature changes, prolonged exposure to excessive water or humidity can affect MDF. Wipe up any spills or condensation promptly.
• Inspect Fittings: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting bolts to prevent wobbling and ensure stability. Tighten if necessary.
• Do Not Slam: Although it has a soft-close mechanism, avoid manually forcing the seat down, as this can wear out the soft-close function over time.
