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.
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord with a three-
blade grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the product.
Replace or repair a damaged cord immediately.

Reset
Ground GFCI Outlet
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.

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.

center of the square opening in the mounting
plate and insert mounting bolts through adjustable
brackets and mounting holes. Be sure that the
square mounting bolt head is even with sides of

SWASH INSTALLATION (cont.)
Notes: Make sure to only use a grounded GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) electrical
outlet. In the case of a short circuit, a grounded GFCI outlet may help prevent
electric shock or injury. If using an extension cord is unavoidable, use one with
grounding terminals for 120V~/60 Hz or higher only.
5. Install Mounting Plate & Attach Swash (cont.)
d. Set the Swash flat on the toilet bowl in front of the
mounting plate, and slide seat onto plate until it is
secure and “clicks” into place.
e. If the seat appears too short or too long for the
toilet, adjust the mounting plate accordingly. To
adjust the mounting plate, loosen barrel nut and
slide seat forward or backwards as needed. Once
the seat is lined up properly, tighten barrel nuts to
hold in place.
6. Connect the Bidet Hose
a. Connect the bidet hose to the side of the bidet seat
making sure the hose is firmly connected. 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. Connect Power
a. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
7. Turn On Water Supply

USING THE SWASH
Warm Aerated Water Wash
1. Sit on the seat and press the FRONT or REAR button on the remote to begin water flow. The
nozzles will self-clean and purge a small amount of water which will last for several seconds
prior to starting the wash function. The front or rear wand will then extend and wash for 2
minutes, then turn o automatically.
2. To keep the wash continuing longer than 2 minutes, press the FRONT or REAR button again
during the cleansing cycle. Each time your press the button during the cleansing cycle, the
2 minute cycle starts again.
3. If you would like to stop the wash before the 2 minute cycle ends, press STOP button to
discontinue flow.
4. While cleansing, users can adjust the water temperature, water pressure, spray width, and
nozzle position according to their preferences.
5. After the cleansing cycle, the nozzles will perform a self clean cycle purging water for
approximately 5 seconds.
Nozzle Positioning
While the cleansing function is operating, use the Nozzle Position up and down arrows on the
remote control to move the position of the nozzles and spray.
Notes: The wash functions will not work unless the sensor in the seat detects someone
sitting down (skin conductivity sensor). To override the seat sensor, please refer to
the section in the manual called “Configuring a Special Mode”.
The remote control will not operate the Swash if the batteries are weak, dead,
or not installed properly (remote requires 3 x AAA batteries to function).
Note: You cannot increase the water pressure level to higher than level 2 under the
following conditions: Main water supply temperature is under 10° C / 50° F or
if the rated power source is under 110V.
