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.

Please take a few minutes to study this Homeowners Guide. Pay

special attention to the Care and Cleaning instructions.

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.

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.

Follow the maintenance and repair instructions in this manual to

correct the problem.

the problem.

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

surfaces. Rinse and wipe the toilet surface to prevent soap buildup. If

Kohler Co. 3 115749-5-B

Care and Cleaning (cont.)

the surface of your Artist Edition toilet becomes excessively dirty, use

Glass Plus

or a liquid dish soap with water.

Toilet Seats: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, detergents, disinfectants or

cleaning products in aerosol cans.

Do not allow abrasive chemicals or cosmetics (such as ﬁngernail polish

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.

Clean the seat with dishwashing liquid and water or with any of the

following products: Gel Gloss

, Scrub Free

Mildew Stain Remover,

Formula 409

All Purpose Cleaner, Mr. Clean

Lemon Fresh, Cinch

Glass Plus

, or Fantastik

All Purpose.

Painted wood seats require special care and cleaning. Use only mild a

detergent such as dishwashing soap.

Adjust the Water Level

Adjust the water level in the tank by squeezing and sliding the

C-clip on the ﬂoat rod.

•To raise the water level, slide the C-clip up.

•To lower the water level, slide the C-clip down.

Test ﬂush the toilet several times, while checking all connections

for leaks, to ensure proper operation.

If the ﬂapper ball does not seat properly when the lift rod is

lowered, provide more ﬂapper chain by:

•Relocating the ﬂapper chain S-hook to the bottom hole in the lift

rod.

•Repositioning the ﬂapper chain S-hook on the ﬂapper chain.

If the toilet does not ﬂush when the lift rod is raised, remove

some of the slack in the ﬂapper chain by:

•Relocating the ﬂapper chain S-hook to the top hole in the lift rod.

•Repositioning the ﬂapper chain S-hook on the ﬂapper chain.

Periodically check for leaks for several days following the

installation.
