SAFETY INFORMATION

(IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS)

Ground GFCI Outlet

ATTENTION

This product should only be used with a grounded GFCI (Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter) outlet and a grounded three-prong electrical cord

as shown to the right. In the event of an electrical short circuit, using a

grounded GFCI outlet reduces the risk of electric shock.

This product is equipped with a grounded cord and is for use on a

nominal 120V circuit only (minimum 15 amps) and must be plugged

into an outlet that is properly grounded with a GFCI breaker as shown.

Replace or repair a damaged cord immediately.

Test

Reset

Grounding Pin

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 green insulation (either with or without a yellow

stripe) is the grounding wire.

• Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood,

or if there is doubt if the product is properly grounded.

For those with certain medical or mobility issues in the bathroom,

we recommend our Swash 1400 or Swash 1000 bidet seats, as their

mounting systems are engineered for the most secure transitions from

wheelchairs or walkers.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION

Before Installation

DO NOT PLUG THE PRODUCT IN WHILE THE UNIT IS UPSIDE DOWN

This may cause damage to the internal components.

WATCH OUR INSTALLATION VIDEO

Installation for all Swash products can be found online at brondell.com

CHECK BOLT SPREAD

This bidet seat can only be installed on toilets with a bolt hole spread of 14 cm / 5.5 in.

(see Product Dimensions on page 7 for more information).

CHECK FOR TOP MOUNT INSTALLATION

If your ﬁxture only has top-side access to the mounting bolts that hold the seat to the toilet, use

the Top-Mount Brackets included in the hardware pack (see page 12).

CHECK FOR A CONCEALED TOILET FILL VALVE

Many modern toilets have sleek designs intended to cover and camouﬂage plumbing

connections, which makes a standard Swash installation dicult or impossible. For this, we

recommend using our Alternate Swash Bidet Seat T-Valve, found on brondell.com.

CHECK WATER SUPPLY LINE

Check the line that connects the toilet tank to the water shut o valve. If it is a rigid pipe, you may

need to purchase a ﬂexible hose to replace it before installing the Swash. The length of the hose

and the size of the connectors will vary.

RESIDUAL MOISTURE IS NORMAL

Every product is tested with pure water during production to ensure the highest quality and

performance. It is normal to ﬁnd a small amount of residual moisture on the product and in the

reservoir and ﬁlter.

TOOLS

A Phillips head or standard screwdriver may be needed to remove the existing toilet seat and a

standard wrench may be needed for tight water supply connections. Teﬂon tape can be helpful in

creating a water-tight seat between plumbing connections.

3. Connect the top of the T-Valve to the incoming water connection on

the bottom of your toilet tank.

4. Connect the water supply line coming from the wall to the bottom of

the T-Valve

PRODUCT INSTALLATION

Swash Installation

• Failure to do so could result in ﬂooding, leaking or damage to the Swash.

NOTES

• The T-Valve connects to the ﬁll valve directly under your toilet tank - it

does not connect at the wall.

• If your water supply line is rigid you may need to replace the water

supply line before continuing. Steps 3-4

6. Install Mounting Plate for top-mounted toilet seats (see Page 11,

Step 5 for instructions on Standard Installation). This method will

use a combination of the included Top-Mount Brackets and the

original toilet seat mounting bolts.

a. Place adjustable mounting plate over mounting holes on toilet,

rubber side facing down, arrow pointing to the toilet bowl.

b. Place the provided Top-Mount Brackets ﬂat side

down into the slots of the Mounting Bracket, over the

Top-Mount Brackets and into the threaded bolt holes of the

toilet, using a screwdriver to tighten.

7. Connect the Bidet Hose to the Seat

a. Connect the elbow side of the bidet hose to the water inlet.

Hand-tighten to secure. Take care not to twist the bidet hose,

excessively bend it, or strip the plastic screw threads when

screwing the hose onto the bidet seat.

8. Attach the Swash to the Mounting Plate

a. Set the Swash ﬂat on the toilet bowl in front of the mounting

plate, and slide seat onto plate until it is secure.

b. If the seat appears too short or too long for the toilet, adjust

the mounting plate accordingly. To adjust the mounting plate,

loosen the nuts underneath the toilet and slide seat forward

or backwards as needed. Once the seat is lined up properly,

tighten the nuts to hold in place.

NOTES: For those with mobility issues, we recommend our Swash 1400

or Swash 1000 bidet seats, as their mounting systems are engineered

for the most secure transitions from wheelchairs or walkers.
