Main risks

• Finger trapping when lowering the lid or seat, especially around the hinge area and with children.
• Shifting or instability if the seat is incorrectly installed or has loose fixings.
• Injury from the lid or seat slamming shut.
• Cuts or scratches from breakage, cracks or damaged edges.
• Skin irritation and discolouration from using harsh or unsuitable cleaning products.
• Slips if the seat surface is wet or has cleaner residue.

Safe use

• Check compatibility with your toilet (fixing hole spacing and shape) before installation.
• Install following the manufacturer’s instructions and tighten the fittings firmly but without over-tightening to avoid cracks.
• Before use, check that the seat is stable and does not move sideways.
• Lower the seat and lid by holding them with your hand to prevent sudden closing and trapping.
• If your model has soft-close, do not force it or try to speed up the closing by pushing.
• Sit centred on the seat; avoid lateral leaning that may cause shifting.
• Clean with a soft cloth and a neutral cleaner; rinse and dry afterwards. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, solvents, ammonia or concentrated bleach, and do not mix cleaners.
• Periodically check screws and hinges; retighten if you notice any play and replace damaged parts.

Storage and maintenance

• Before installation, store the seat in a dry, ventilated place, protected from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping or discolouration.
• Keep screws, caps and small parts in their bag, out of the reach of children.
• Do not place heavy objects on the seat or lid during storage to prevent warping.
• Clean regularly to prevent build-up of residues; promptly remove splashes of strong cleaners and rinse with water.
• Dry the hinges and fittings after cleaning to reduce corrosion, especially if they are metal.
• If your model allows quick-release for cleaning, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to remove and refit it safely.
• Discard and replace the seat if it has cracks, chipped areas or damaged hinges.

Usage restrictions

• Do not use the lid or seat as a step, platform or support to get up.
• Do not sit on the closed lid unless the manufacturer expressly states it is suitable for this.
• Do not allow children to play with the lid or put their hands near the hinges.
• Do not use the product if it is loose, unstable or damaged; repair or replace it before further use.
• Do not expose the seat to extreme temperatures or to concentrated chemicals or mixtures of cleaners.
• Do not install the seat if the fixings or the toilet ceramic are damaged or cracked.
