Attention

DO NOT USE IN-TANK BOWLCLEANERS.

The use of high concentration of chlorine or chlorine-related products can seriously damage fittings in the tank. This

damage can cause leakage and property damage. Blu shall not be responsible or liable for any tank fitting failure or

damage caused by the use of in-tank bowl cleaners.

Operation (Note to Owner)

You have chosen a Blu product that is superior in quality and craftsmanship. Our toilet flushing systems are the best in

the industry. To ensure that your toilet is performing correctly, always flush the toilet with a full stroke of the trip lever to

activate the flushing cycle. A full stroke will guarantee that you are flushing with the power of a Blu.

Cleaners for Fittings and Accessories

To avoid damaging the surface and working components of the fittings, certain precautions must
be taken in terms of usage and subsequent cleaning as many cleaning agents contain acids for
general cleaning and removing calcium deposits. When caring for your fittings and accessories,
please note the following:

- Only apply cleaners which are expressly intended for the use

- Never use any cleaner containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid or acetic acid on or near the fitting, as they can

cause considerable damage even with just one application

- Do not use cleaners containing phosphoric acid

- Do not use cleaners containing chlorine bleach solutions

- Never mix or combine cleaning agents

- Abrasive cleaners and unsuitable scouring agents such as scouring pads.

Installation Notes

Important! The rough-in must be a minimum of 12” (305mm) or more from the base of the wall or baseboard. The toilet

will not fit correctly if there is less than 12” (305mm) of clear space between the base of the wall or baseboard and the

centerline ofthe outlet. Install or relocate the supply and outlet as necessary to conform to rough-in dimensions. If a

baseboard causes the rough-in to be less than 12” (305mm), it must be cut or removed to allow space for the toilet.

Install this product according to the installation guide. Our products must be installed by certified professionals only and

according to our installation guide as well as federal, provincial / state and local building codes and regulations.
