Your Kohler Toilet

Your Kohler toilet combines outstanding function, comfort, and performance with remarkable style and class.

This Kohler toilet was designed with our IngeniumTM Flushing System, and uses only 1.6 gallons (6 L) of water for each ¯ush. This ensures that your toilet will provide exceptional performance that is comparable to our previous 3.5 gallon (13.2 L) models. Your toilet exceeds ASME performance standards for low-consumption toilets. It was designed with a large, glazed trapway to keep waste moving without blockage.

Your Kohler toilet with seat features our Comfort HeightTM design for your added comfort. The elongated toilet bowl with seat is ADA compliant.

Crafted from a clay mixture that is ®red at an intense heat to vitrify the clay and fuse the glaze, your Kohler toilet is scratchand abrasion-resistant. Its surface won't stain, discolor, rust, or fade. Every component in your Kohler toilet is speci®cally designed to increase the toilet's useful life.

Care and Cleaning

NOTE: See the special instructions before you clean Artist Edition products.

Clean the outside surface of your vitreous china toilet with mild soap and warm water. Wipe the entire surface completely dry with a clean, soft cloth. You may use soft abrasive cleaners when necessary to clean your toilet. Do not use strong abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch and dull the surface. Wipe any splashes of cleaner solutions from plastic or plated surfaces immediately. Use toilet bowl cleaners on the inside of the bowl only.

If the surface becomes excessively dirty, use a general purpose cleaner such as: Fantastik® All Purpose, Lysol® Basin, Tub and Tile Cleaner, Soft Scrub® Multi Purpose, Scrub Free® Disinfectant Bathroom Cleaner, Clorox Clean-Up®, Spic and Span Liquid, Comet® Liquid Bathroom Cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles® Bathroom Cleaner, Bar Keeper's Friend®, or Bon Ami®.

Over time, hard water deposits may clog toilet rim holes and trapways. To clean, use a commercial cleaner that is recommended for removing hard water deposits. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING: Risk of property or product damage. Do not use in-tank cleaners in your toilet. Products containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) can seriously damage ®ttings in the tank. This damage can cause leakage and property damage.

Kohler Company shall not be responsible or liable for any tank ®tting damage caused by the use of cleaners containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite).

For Artist Edition toilets: Do not use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges to clean the surface of your Artist Edition toilet. They will scratch the decorated surface. Gold and Platinum used on decorative products are like ®ne jewelry. Use only warm water to clean, and dry

with a soft cloth. Do not let cleaners sit or soak on Artist Edition surfaces. Rinse and wipe the toilet surface to prevent soap buildup. If the surface of your Artist Edition toilet becomes excessively dirty, use Glass Plus® or a liquid dish soap with water.

Toilet Seats: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, detergents, disinfectants or cleaning products in aerosol cans.

Do not allow abrasive chemicals or cosmetics (such as ®ngernail polish or aftershave) to come in contact with the toilet seat, as they can damage the ®nish.

Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean the toilet seat. Rinse the seat clean and dry with a soft towel. Let the seat air dry and ensure that the hinge area dries completely.

Clean the seat with dishwashing liquid and water or with any of the following products: Gel Gloss®, Scrub Free® Mildew Stain Remover, Formula 409® All Purpose Cleaner, Mr. Clean® Lemon Fresh, Cinch®, Glass Plus®, or Fantastik® All Purpose.
