Important Information

NOTE: This product is designed for installation with the electrical and water supplies located through either the wall or the ﬂoor.

Grounding Instructions

•

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: Risk of electric shock. 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 ﬂat 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 service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

•

This product is factory equipped with a speciﬁc electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same conﬁguration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Do not modify the plug provided — if it will not ﬁt the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualiﬁed service personnel.

DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a properly-grounded, grounding-type receptacle which is protected by a 120 V, 15 A, 60 Hz Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). Do not remove the grounding pin or use a grounding adapter.

DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. For hardwire installations/through-ﬂoor electrical supply:

Connect only to a properly-grounded, dedicated circuit protected by an Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Device (RCD).

NOTE: The electrical outlet and water supply may also be located behind the toilet. If it is located behind the toilet, the water supply stop must extend no more than 3″ (7.6 cm) beyond the ﬁnished wall. If located behind the back wall, the supply stop must be a model that connects at a 90° angle. The handle should be easily accessible.

NOTE: Locating the supply stop behind the toilet will make it difficult to remove the back panel. It may be necessary to remove the toilet to service items behind the back panel.

Install the Dock Power Cord

If the ﬁnished wall has not been installed, route the docking station power cord. Drill a 3/8″ (1 cm) hole in the wall behind the toilet location for the dock cable.

If the ﬁnished wall is installed, drill a 3/8″ (1 cm) hole in the wall behind the toilet location for the docking station power cord. Route the cord to the docking station location.

Prepare the Installation Location

IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. If T-bolts are left in place, they will damage the toilet. Make sure they are removed before moving the toilet into place.

If there are T-bolts in the ﬂange, remove them. T-bolts are not required for this installation.

Cut out the inside of the ﬂange area on the template.

Position the template with the hole positioned over the ﬂange. It is critical that the centerlines marked on the template are centered on the ﬂange.

Secure the template to the ﬂoor with tape.

IMPORTANT! Because of the unique design of this toilet, the width of the bottom edges will vary. The following steps are required because of this variation.

Conﬁrm the template is correctly positioned and centered over the ﬂange.

Position the toilet on the template. Make sure the front of the base of the toilet is aligned with the markings on the template.

Position the toilet so an equal amount of shaded area is visible on each side of the template.

Conﬁrm the toilet is centered by measuring the amount of space on each side of the template.

Directly under the screw holes on each side of the toilet, accurately mark the bottom edge of the base. The mark should intersect the lines labeled ″C″ and ″A″ or ″B″ on each side of the template.

Determine Mounting Block Location

Position a rug or other protective material in front of the toilet.

Gently tilt the toilet forward until it rests on the front surface.

NOTE: The installation range of the mounting block is marked on the template. Due to variances in the width of the base, the exact location must be determined by the installer.

Measure the width of the base, dimension ″A″, on the left side of the toilet.

From the mark indicating the outside edge of the base, measure inward and mark dimension ″A″ on the template line marked ″C″.

Measure the width of the base, dimension ″B″, on the right side of the toilet.

From the mark indicating the outside edge of the base, measure inward and mark dimension ″B″ on the template line marked ″C″.

IMPORTANT! The distance between the outside edges of the mounting block should be the same or slightly less than dimension ″C″. The distance must not be more than 1/16″ (2 mm) less than dimension ″C″, or the strength of the mounting block will be compromised.

On the template line marked ″C″, measure the distance between the marks that indicate the outside edge of the mounting blocks. Compare this measurement to dimension ″C″.

Make sure the mounting blocks are correctly positioned.

Position the mounting blocks on the template with the outside edge aligned with the marks made for dimensions ″A″ or ″B″. With the side of the mounting blocks running parallel to the lines on the template, mark the entire side of the mounting blocks.

With the side of the mounting blocks running parallel to the lines on the template, mark the entire side of the mounting blocks.

Determine Mounting Block Location (cont.)

At the location of the screw holes in the side of the toilet, measure the width of the opening from the inside edge of each side of the base, dimension ″C″. Use this dimension to conﬁrm the correct location of the blocks.

Insert a pencil into each of the four pre-drilled holes in the mounting blocks and mark the center of the holes.

Remove the mounting blocks.

At the four locations where the centerline in the slots marked on the template and the pencil mark indicating the hole locations meet, drill a 3/16″ pilot hole.

Remove the template.
