Care and Cleaning
Your new toilet is made of stain-, acid- and abrasion-resistant vitreous china. Clean the outside surface with mild soap, warm water and
a soft cloth. On stubborn stains use a powdered detergent and damp sponge or nylon scouring pad. Never use abrasive scouring
powders, cleansers or pads because they will scratch, damage and dull the surface. The manufacturer shall not be responsible or liable
for any tank fitting damage caused by the use of cleaners containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite). When cleaning your toilet seat,
wash it with mild soapy water. Rinse the seat thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid detergents, disinfectants or
cleaning products in aerosol cans. NEVER use abrasive scouring powders on your seat. Some bathroom chemicals and cosmetics may
cause damage to the seat’s finish, so test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE IN-TANK CLEANERS. Products containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) can seriously damage tank fittings
potentially causing leaks, excessive water use and property damage.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
If fill valve does not turn on, will
not turn off, or will not refill the
tank after the flush.
□
Remove top cap and check for debris. If you find debris or flow is week; Inspect lower section of
fill valve for partial blockage. Partial blockage may be at shut off valve or in water supply line.
(See “REMOVING THE VALVE CAP ASSEMBLY & FLUSHING OUT DEBRIS”)
□
If fill valve has been in use for some time and/or float cup does not drop when flushing tank,
replace seal with a genuine Fluidmaster 242 seal (See “IF REPLACING SEAL”)
The flush quality of the toilet is
poor.

Make sure the water level in the tank is up to the water line printed on the overflow tube of the
flush valve. To increase the water level turn the adjustment screw on the fill valve clockwise to
raise the float cup.
□
Check to make sure the flapper chain is not too loose. Adjust the chain length to ensure the
flapper is able to completely close and that there is only a small amount of play left between the
flush lever and the chain.
Water continues to run.
□
Check to ensure the flapper is completely closed. Clear any debris from the flapper and sealing
area of the flush valve which may be obstructing full closure.
□
Check to ensure the flapper chain is not too tight. Adjust the chain length to ensure the flapper is
able to completely close and that there is only a small amount of play left between the flush lever
and the chain.
