Operational Precautions - Toto Washlet SG Instruction Manual

Safety Precautions
If a water leak should occur, always close the shutoff valve.
When the ambient temperature is likely to drop to 0°C or lower, prevent
damage to the pipes and hoses due to freezing.
• Frozen water pipes could cause the main unit and the pipes to break, resulting in a water leak.
• Regulate the room temperature to prevent the pipes and hoses from freezing during cold months.
• Drain the water.
When not using the Washlet over an extended period of time, drain the
water out of the main unit and the water supply hose after closing the water
shutoff valve, and pull the electrical plug from the outlet.
Switch the breaker on the distribution board to OFF.
• When using the product again, allow the product to refi ll with water fi rst. Otherwise, the water in
the tank might become contaminated and cause skin infl ammation or other problems. (Refer to
Page 54 for instructions on replenishing the water.)
• Leaving the power on may cause fi re or heat.
When installing the water fi lter drain valve, make sure that it is securely
tightened in its proper position.
• Failure to securely tighten it may cause a water leaks.
Make sure of the plus and minus signs on the batteries before inserting them.
Remove depleted batteries immediately.
When replacing the batteries:
Replace both batteries with new ones.
Use the same brand for both new batteries (any brand available).
• Failure to do so may cause the batteries to leak fl uid, generate heat, rupture, or ignite.
When the product is supposed not to be used for long time, remove the
batteries from the remote control and battery box.
• Failure to do so may cause the batteries to leak fl uid.

Operational Precautions

■ For prevention of malfunctions
● Do not block the body sensor or the remote control transmitter
or receiver.
< About the body sensors >
Two types of body sensors are used.
● Body sensor A detects changes in heat.
• Detection may be diffi cult when the room temperature
exceeds 30°C, such as in the summertime.
• When sunlight is directly on the sensor area or a heater is
used in the bathroom, the sensor may detect incorrectly
due to the heat, resulting in the automatic operation of
functions such as auto lid opening and closing.
•
When the bathroom door is open, the sensor may
detect people who pass to the front or side of the toilet.
● Body sensor B detects when someone stands in front
of the toilet bowl.
• Body sensor B emits an infrared beam as shown in
the fi gure. When someone moves into the line of this
infrared beam, the sensor detects the person.
*Detection by the sensor may be diffi cult when the toilet
is used by someone small, such as a child.

Note
•
When a child uses the Washlet, the seat
switch may not be ACTIVATED by their light
body weight.
• Since the toilet seat is designed to move up
and down, a clearance is provided between
the toilet seat cushion and the toilet bowl.
■ For prevention of damage
● Wipe plastic areas
such as the main unit
and remote control with
Dry cloth or tissue
a soft, wet cloth.
● Do not lean against the
toilet lid.
■ Problem Prevention
● Disconnect the power plug if there is a risk of lightning.
Switch the breaker on the distribution board to OFF.
(Concealed power connection type)
● A toilet seat cover or a toilet lid cover cannot be used.
(The body sensors or seat switch may not function properly.)
Covers
● Do not urinate on the main unit, toilet seat or wand.
(Doing so may cause pink or brown stains or amalfunction.)
● Do not apply strong forces to the control panel of the
remote control.
● When using a toilet cleaner to clean the toilet, wash it
off within 3 minutes and leave the toilet seat and toilet
lid open.
Wipe off any cleaner that remains on the toilet bowl.
(If vapor from a toilet bowl cleaner enters the main unit,
it may cause a malfunction.)
● Do not expose to direct sunlight.
(Doing so may cause changes in color, irregular
heated seat temperature, remote control malfunction or
Washlet malfunction due to the change in temperature.)
● Use radios, etc. away from the Washlet.
(The Washlet could cause interference with the radio signal.)
● If you use a booster seat for infants or a soft highchair,
remove it after use.
(Keeping it installed may prevent some of the functions
from being used.)
● Do not apply force to the remote control.
(May cause malfunction.)
To prevent the remote control from being dropped, set
it in the hanger when you are not using it. Be careful
not to expose it to water.
About rear cleansing, rear soft cleansing and front cleansing
• These functions wash away waste and dirt from
a localized area of your body.
• Do not cleanse too much or for too long.
Doing so may wash away normal bacteria, upsetting
the balance of bacteria inside your body.
• People who are receiving medical treatment or
therapy in this localized area should consult
their doctor before use.
