Step 1: Remove the Old Toilet Seat

Start by removing your existing toilet seat.

Unscrew the mounting bolts and lift the seat off completely.

Before moving on, take a moment to clean the toilet surface—this ensures a better fit for the new installation.

Step 2: Install the Mounting Plate

Next, install the dedicated mounting plate included in the package.

This plate is designed specifically for V-shaped smart toilets, ensuring a snug and secure fit.

Open the accessory kit and assemble the components step by step. Make sure the plate is aligned properly before tightening.

Step 3: Align and Secure the Bidet Seat

Before installation, place the deodorizing or incense stick behind the smart toilet seat cover (if included).

Now, align the bidet seat with the mounting plate.

Slide it backward gently until you hear a “click”—this indicates the seat is securely locked in place.

Step 4: Connect the Water Supply

Turn off the water supply valve before starting this step.

• Install the T-valve onto the water supply line

• Reconnect the original water hose

• Attach the water filter (this helps remove impurities and protects the internal system)

Then:

• Connect the hose to the filter outlet

• Place the loose end of the hose into a bucket or container temporarily

• Finally, connect the hose to the bidet seat

Ensure all connections are securely tightened to prevent leaks.

Step 5: Power On and Test

Plug the unit into a power outlet and turn it on.

Once the display lights up, your smart toilet seat is ready to use.
