IMPORTANT: Read instructions completely before starting installation.

We recommend that the instructions and diagrams be printed for easy reference during installation.
Before starting installation, check that all FreshWash components are available, that the unit fits the toilet to which it will be added, and that the water shutoff valves to be used are working properly.

FreshWash LUX models require access to a 10 Amp grounded GFCI outlet, located on the wall within reach of the unit's power cord (give cord length). The outlet is available, do not install until the outlet is replaced with a properly-safe 3 prong version.


INSTALLATION SAFETY WARNINGS
  • Electrical cord must be at least 2.0M long.
    •
  • If installing an electrical socket, ensure that is at least 30cm above the floor.
    •
  • Wires must be grounded to prevent electrical shocks. Connect ground wire to metal water pipe or the fixing support of the basin.
    •
  • Do not ground to a gas pipe or a lightning rod of telephone wire, as these may conduct lightning to the product.
    •
  • Install only in well-ventilated areas to avoid excess humidity. Do not install in narrow toilet stall or in shower stalls.
    •
  • Install only where direct contact with water is minimized.
    •
  • Do not install near any heat source.
    •
  • Avoid using extension cords if possible. Use only to prevent leakage wherever bolt and nut are applied where extension cords are necessary.
Step 1: Removing the existing toilet seat and lid.
    Unfasten the nuts and remove toilet seat and lid.
Step 2: Placing the main unit on the toilet. (See Diagram 2)
   
  • Slide the mounting bolts into the grooves at the bottom rear of the FreshWash unit at the right depth to fit in the toilet mounting holes.
    •
  • Install the main unit on the toilet by inserting the mounting bolts on the FreshWash unit into the toilet mounting holes. (In the correct position, the nozzles will point down into the toilet. When activated, the nozzles will rise into the correct spraying position.)
    •
  • Fit the cone packs (washers), plastic washers and nuts on to the bolts from below the toilet, and tighten the nuts securely. Check that the unit rests firmly on the toilet and does not wobble.
    		•
    Step 3: Installing the FreshWash water connection. (Diagram 1)
       
  • Turn off the toilet's water shutoff valve on the water supply pipe.
    •
  • Drain the toilet tank by flushing the toilet normally.
    •
  • Place a pan or bowl beneath the shutoff valve and the pipe connecting the water supply to the toilet tank to catch any water left in pipes when unfastening the coupling nut on the pipe. Unfasten the connecting pipe by unscrewing the coupling nuts. Be careful not to damage the pipe.
  • If the connecting pipe is not flexible, replace it with the flexible pipe provided.
    •
  • If the shutoff valve coupling's diameter is 3/8", insert a rubber washer and attach the spare nut (adapter nut).
    •
  • Insert a washer on the coupling nut and attach the branching valve, connect it tightly.
    		•
    Step 4: Hooking up the water supply for the main unit.
    (Diagram 1A)
        Connect one end of the flexible pipe to the branching valve, and the other to the FreshWash unit.
    Step 5: Grounding the unit.
        The LUX unit must be grounded to operate safely. Attach the green ground wire to the ground terminal or the metal pipe. DO NOT attach to a plastic pipe, as this will not ground the unit. DO NOT attach to a gas pipe, telephone wire, or lightning rod, as these may conduct lightning charges to the unit.
    Step 6: Checking that the unit is functioning properly.
       
  • Open the water shutoff valve slowly to check that there are no leaks. If there are leaks, turn off the water supply at the valve and tighten connections. Teflon tape is strongly recommended to be applied at all connections to prevent leakage.
  • Check that the unit is seated firmly on the toilet and that water is running into the warm water tank.
    •
  • Plug in the power cord and check that the unit is functioning properly. Apply weight to the seat to activate the nozzles placing a cup or your hand over the nozzles to prevent water splattering. Spraying will cease automatically after 40-60 seconds.
    •
  • Save the toilet seat, cover, and pipe removed in installation so that the toilet may be restored to its original condition if desired.
    		•
    You are now ready to use your FreshWash LUX unit according to the directions.
