1. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical products, especially when children are present, the basic safety precautions should
always be observed.

READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT

The following safety terms are used in this manual to warn against different
hazardous situations:

DANGER– To reduce the risk of electrocution:

1. Do not place or store product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.

2. Do not place in or drop into water or other liquid.

3. Do not reach for a product that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution,

fire or injury to persons:

1. When small children, elderly persons, persons with limited mobility or people with
illness are using this product, ensure that the proper operating procedures are
followed at all times to ensure the user's safety.

2.

When you are using this product for a long period of time, set the seat

temperature to "Off".

For the following persons, be sure to set the seat temperature to "Off" when they are
using this product.
(Children, elderly persons, persons with illness, persons with limited mobility, persons
with sensitive skin, persons who are taking medicines that cause drowsiness,
persons who are intoxicated, or persons who are extremely fatigued.)
* Using the toilet for a long period of time without setting the seat temperature to "Off"

may result in low temperature burns.

Low Temperature Burns
A low temperature burn may occur when the skin has been in contact for some time

with an object at relatively low temperature (about 104 °F [40 °C]). Susceptibility to
burns also depends on an individual's skin sensitivity and other factors.

3. This product should be used only as described in this manual. Do not use
attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer.

4. Never operate this product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if the plug is loose in the
outlet, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged. If the plug
is inserted or disconnected by holding the cord, the plug or cord may be damaged
resulting in fire or electric shock.

5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

6. Never block the air openings of the product. If lint or hair, etc. is stuck in the air
openings, remove it immediately.

7. Never use while sleeping or feeling drowsy.

8. Never drop or insert any object into any opening or hose.

9. Connect this product to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.

10. This product should only be connected to a potable water supply line. Failure to do so

will cause problems in the operation.

11. Do not pull out or insert the power plug with wet hands.

12. Disconnect the power plug periodically and clean it with a dry cloth.

Dust accumulated on the power plug may cause fire.

13. Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or

where oxygen is being administered.

To reduce the risk of minor injury or property damage:

1. This product should only be connected to a 120 V AC, 60 Hz GFCI-protected outlet.

2. For care of the plastic parts, our company recommends the use of a mild liquid or an
all-purpose cleaner. Avoid using abrasive products (such as powdered cleansers) and
chlorine-based products (such as bleach), as these products can damage the
anti-bacterial properties of the plastic components.

3. If the toilet seat or the body cover is damaged, pull the power plug out of the outlet.

4. Do not stand on the toilet seat lid, as it may break.

5. Do not lean back against the lid during use, as this may damage or break the lid.

6. Install this product according to this installation manual. Improper installation may
result in electrocution, fire, or a water leak.

7.

Do not forcefully pull on the bidet nozzle or turn it as this may cause it to fail.

8. Do not apply unnecessary force to the water supply hose as it could result in
damage and cause water to leak

9. To prevent the toilet seat and toilet seat lid from slamming down, a damping

mechanism is provided to lower them gradually. If the toilet seat or toilet seat lid is
closed abruptly or too forcefully, this product could be damaged or fail.

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.

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
at 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.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and
C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(sketch A) can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the screw.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a three wire extension cord that
has a three-blade grounding plug, and
a three-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product. Replace or
repair a damaged cord.

minimizes the possibility of it getting wet. In extremely humid conditions, provide adequate ventilation by
operating an exhaust fan or opening a window or door.

Water Supply

Use only the tap water line to supply water to this product. The use of any other type of water i.e. ground
water or well water may reduce functionality of product.

The tap water pressure must be 8.5 to 106.7 psi

(0.06 to 0.74 MPa, 0.6 to 7.5 kgf/cm2).

Additional Important Information

•Thecapacityofthewarmwatertankis0.88L.

Water temperature gradually drops when rear
cleansing or front cleansing is used. If the water
drops below a comfortable temperature, press
the stop button and wait about 3 minutes for the
water to reheat.

•Thewatertemperaturerangeispresettothe

following temperatures:

Low: Approx. 90 °F (32 °C),
Medium: Approx. 93 °F (34 °C),

High: Approx. 97 °F (36 °C).
It takes approximately 10 minutes to heat cold
water (at about 41 °F [5 °C]) to the appropriate
temperature (about 100 °F [38 °C]).

This product is designed to use the tap water
pressure to extend the nozzles and spray water
through them. When the tap water pressure is
extremely low, the nozzles may not spray water
at all when the water pressure is set to the
lowest setting. If this occurs, adjust the Spray
Strength.

Before and after cleansing and when the water
temperature adjustment button is pressed, etc.,
water is sprayed from the nozzle. This occurs by
design and is not a cause for concern.

If water sprays while under any other
configuration, or sprays constantly, close the
water shutoff valve and remove the power plug
from the wall outlet. Then, contact cutomer
service.

This product is equipped with a seat sensor that
prevents the water from spraying if nobody is
sitting on the toilet seat. This prevents activation
if the Bidet button is pressed when the toilet seat
is unoccupied.

When the toilet is new, a slight odor may come
from the deodorizer. This will go away in a short
time.
