Care and Cleaning
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your product:
• Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is safe for use
on the material.
• Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before applying
to the entire surface.
• Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately aer
cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on nearby
surfaces.
• Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.
• Use a so, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive material such as
a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.
• Be careful not to leave staining materials in contact with the surface for
extended periods of time.
• The ideal cleaning technique is to rinse thoroughly and blot dry any water
from the surface aer each use.
WARNING: Risk of property or product damage. Do not use in-tank
cleaners in your toilet. Products containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite)
can seriously damage ings in the tank. This damage can cause leakage
and property damage.

Troubleshooting
Symptoms Recommended Action
1. Poor ush. A. Adjust the tank water level to match the waterline.
B. Fully open the water supply shut-o valve.
C. Clear obstructions from the trapway, jet, or bowl rim
holes.
D. Clear obstructions from the waste line.
2. No ush. A. Reconnect the chain to the trip lever or ush valve.
B. Adjust the chain assembly to remove excessive slack.
3. The ll valve
turns on/o by
itself without
the toilet being
ushed, or it
runs, allowing
water to enter
the tank.
A. Adjust the chain for proper slack so the seal is not
held o the ush valve seat.
B. Clean or replace the apper if it is worn, dirty, or
misaligned with the ush valve seat, or if the ush
valve seat is damaged. Replace the ush valve seal or
ush valve.
C. Clean the ll valve seat and seat washer of debris, or
replace the piston/seat washer assembly.
D. Remove the tank and tighten the ush valve nut if
ush valve gasket is leaking. Do not overtighten. If
leakage continues, replace the gasket.
E. Replace the ll valve if the valve oat sinks.
F. Adjust the tank water level if it is too high.
4. Tank takes
excessive time
to ll.
A. Fully open the water supply shut-o valve.
B. Clean the valve inlet, valve head, or supply line.
Flush the lines.
5.
There is excessive
noise when the
tank is lling.
A. Partially close the water supply shut-o valve if the
water pressure to the toilet is too high. Check the
toilet performance following any such adjustment.
B. Remove dirt or obstructions from the valve head.
Flush the lines.
