PRODUCT INFORMATION
Dual Stainless Steel Nozzles – separate stainless steel nozzles resist soiling and bacterial
contamination for enhanced hygiene. The dual nozzle configuration ensures accurate coverage for
all types of users.
Aerated Wash Spray – micro-bubbles introduced into the wash spray create a gentler, softer
wash action designed for sensitive skin. In addition, the aerated spray reduces overall water
consumption and is more eective in washing the skin.
Positionable Nozzles – each nozzle has seven dierent positions to ensure the most comfortable
and complete wash.
Ergonomic Heated Seat – with four temperature settings (High/Med/Low/O).
Night Light – an illuminating night light means no more blinding lights during midnight trips to the
bathroom.
Sturdy, “Sittable” Lid – the strong bidet seat lid will support up to 270 pounds.
Gentle Closing Seat and Lid – “slam free” gentle closing seat and lid are user friendly.
Instant and Endless Warm Water – the cutting-edge instant ceramic heating system ensures an
endless warm water stream for posterior and feminine washes.
Adjustable Water Temperature and Pressure – each wash mode (Front and Rear) has four
available water temperature settings, and three water pressure settings.
Wide Spray Option – three width settings widens the wash spray from a strong concentrated
stream to a soft spray for a more personal and thorough wash.
Wireless Remote Control – the intuitive remote control comes with a convenient magnetic dock
and mounting bracket, and includes its own Eco Mode to conserve battery life.
Two User Memory Settings – personalize your settings like water temperature, water pressure,
and even the spray width to your own preferences and retain them with two programmable profile
settings.
“Auto” Function – activates a preset for either a Front or Rear wash cycle. The Dry cycle will then
activate with the Swash 1400. See page 22 for more details.

Warm Air Dryer – includes adjustable temperature with three levels for a hands-free experience
and toilet paper reduction – even elimination.
Nozzle Oscillation – the move function provides a massaging, oscillating cleanse during the wash
cycle ensuring a thorough and comfortable wash.
Nozzle Sterilization – utilizing silver as a natural antibacterial agent we are able to create a
sterilizing wash for the nozzles that is 100% chemical and maintenance free keeping them clean,
hygienic, and corrosion free.
Deodorizer – the activated charcoal deodorizing filter eliminates odors at the source. It does not
cover or mask odors, but eliminates them by removing air from the toilet bowl, passing it through
the replaceable filter and expelling the clean air through the vent in the back of the Swash.

WATCH OUR INSTALLATION VIDEO
Installation for all Swash products can be found online at brondell.com
CHECK FOR TOP MOUNT INSTALLATION
If your fixture only has top-side access to the mounting bolts that hold the seat to the toilet, you
will likely need to purchase the Swash Bidet Seat Top Mount Hardware Kit, found on brondell.com.
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.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
SWASH INSTALLATION
1. Existing Toilet Seat Removal
a. Lift hinge covers and use a screwdriver to remove the mounting bolts.
b. Remove the toilet seat.
Please read these instructions carefully before installing the Swash. Failure to do so could result
in flooding, leaking or damage to the product.
NOTE: Steps may vary by type of seat and toilet

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 it is necessary to use an extension cord, only use
those rated for a minimum of 15 amps with a three-
wire extension cord with a three-blade grounding
plug.
8. Connect the open end of the Bidet Hose to the T-Valve.
7. 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 and “clicks” into place.
b. If the seat appears too short or too long for the toilet,
adjust the mounting plate accordingly. To adjust the
mounting plate, loosen barrel nuts underneath the toilet
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 to the Seat
a. Connect the bidet hose to the water inlet. Hand-tighten
to secure. Take care not to twist the bidet hose, exces-
sively bend it, or strip the plastic screw threads when
screwing the hose onto the bidet seat.
10. Connect Power
a. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
b. If desired, use the included Cable Clips to connect the
power cord and bidet hose side-by-side for a tidier
appearance.
9. Turn On Water Supply
a. Open the main water supply valve slowly and check for
leaks.
b. Wait 5 minutes, check again and if there are no leaks
continue.

REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION
1. Battery Installation
a. Separate the remote control from the magnetic dock.
b. Turn remote over and open the child-proof battery
compartment by popping o the battery cover with
a flat-head screwdriver or small coin. Insert the four
included CR2032 batteries “plus” side up and replace
battery cover.
c. To confirm the batteries are installed correctly, press the
Stop button and you should see the “Wide Spray” LED
light turn on for a few seconds (NOTE: the 2 other LED
lights may or may not turn on at this time depending on
the current settings).
2. Mount Remote (optional)
a. Identify a location in the bathroom for the remote
control that is visible and reachable from the toilet.
b. Depending on the wall type, you can install using
the supplied screws and anchor mounts or use the
provided double stick tape on the back of the remote
wall mount.
Make sure the remote mount is fully secure with either
method so that it does not fall and damage the remote
control.
c. Place the remote control into the mount as shown.
Step 2c
DANGER – Important Battery Information:
1. Remote contains “coin-style” batteries – keep away from children. If swallowed, seek
medical attention immediately.
2. Ingestion of batteries may cause severe injury or death in just 2 hours.
3. Use only CR2032 batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries together.
4. Double-check the + and – direction.
5. Take care when opening the battery compartment to replace the batteries - the
batteries are spring-loaded.
6. Dispose of old batteries carefully.
