Care and Cleaning
Troubleshooting
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.
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.
□
Make sure the push rods are the correct length. The push rods should be set to a gap of approxi-
mately 1/16 in. above the push buttons of the flush valve. To adjust, loosen the collar on the push
rod and turn the rod counterclockwise to extend the length. Tighten the collar to secure.
Water continues to run.
□
Check to make sure the rubber seal gasket on the flush valve is completely closed. Clear any
debris from the gasket surface and sealing area of the flush valve which may be obstructing full
closure.
