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
Installation Parts

10
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.
PRODUCT INSTALLATION

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.

rubber side facing down, arrow pointing to the toilet bowl.
b. Place provided Top Mount Brackets, flat side down, into the
slots of the mounting plate, over the bolt holes.
c. Insert the original toilet seat mounting bolts through 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.
Steps 6b & 6c
