Thank you for choosing the Bold Look of Kohler. Kohler craftsmanship
offers you a rare combination of proven performance and graceful

dependability and beauty of your Kohler toilet will surpass your
highest expectations. We’re very proud of our products here at Kohler
and we know you will be too.

constantly strive to improve the quality of our products. We reserve

Your Kohler Toilet
Your Kohler toilet combines outstanding function, comfort, and
performance with remarkable style and class.
This Kohler toilet was designed with our IngeniumTM Flushing System,
and uses only 1.6 gallons (6 L) of water for each flush. This ensures
that your toilet will provide exceptional performance that is
comparable to our previous 3.5 gallon (13.2 L) models. Your toilet
exceeds ASME performance standards for low-consumption toilets. It
was designed with a large, glazed trapway to keep waste moving
without blockage.
Your Kohler toilet with seat features our Comfort HeightTM design for
your added comfort. The elongated toilet bowl with seat is ADA
compliant.
Crafted from a clay mixture that is fired at an intense heat to vitrify
the clay and fuse the glaze, your Kohler toilet is scratch- and
abrasion-resistant. Its surface won’t stain, discolor, rust, or fade. Every
component in your Kohler toilet is specifically designed to increase the
toilet’s useful life.
How to Use This Manual
This manual is designed to help you troubleshoot and repair any
problems that may develop with the operation of the toilet. If a
problem occurs:
Refer to the Troubleshooting section to determine a probable
cause.

Care and Cleaning
NOTE: See the special instructions before you clean Artist Edition
products.
Clean the outside surface of your vitreous china toilet with mild soap
and warm water. Wipe the entire surface completely dry with a clean,
soft cloth. You may use soft abrasive cleaners when necessary to clean
your toilet. Do not use strong abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch
and dull the surface. Wipe any splashes of cleaner solutions from
plastic or plated surfaces immediately. Use toilet bowl cleaners on the
inside of the bowl only.
If the surface becomes excessively dirty, use a general purpose cleaner
such as: Fantastik
®
All Purpose, Lysol
®
Basin, Tub and Tile Cleaner,
Soft Scrub
®
Multi Purpose, Scrub Free
®
Disinfectant Bathroom Cleaner,
Clorox Clean-Up
®
, Spic and Span Liquid, Comet
®
Liquid Bathroom
Cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles
®
Bathroom Cleaner, Bar Keeper’s Friend
®
,
or Bon Ami
®
.
Over time, hard water deposits may clog toilet rim holes and
trapways. To clean, use a commercial cleaner that is recommended for
removing hard water deposits. Follow the cleaner manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING: Risk of property or product damage. Do not use
in-tank cleaners in your toilet. Products containing chlorine
(calcium hypochlorite) can seriously damage fittings in the tank.
This damage can cause leakage and property damage.
Kohler Company shall not be responsible or liable for any tank fitting
damage caused by the use of cleaners containing chlorine (calcium
hypochlorite).
For Artist Edition toilets: Do not use bristle brushes or abrasive
sponges to clean the surface of your Artist Edition toilet. They will
scratch the decorated surface. Gold and Platinum used on decorative
products are like fine jewelry. Use only warm water to clean, and dry

with a soft cloth. Do not let cleaners sit or soak on Artist Edition

or aftershave) to come in contact with the toilet seat, as they can
damage the finish.
Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean the toilet seat. Rinse the seat clean
and dry with a soft towel. Let the seat air dry and ensure that the
hinge area dries completely.
