Your Kohler Toilet

Your Kohler toilet combines outstanding function, comfort, and

performance with remarkable style and class.

This Kohler toilet was designed with our Class 5TM Flushing System,

and can be adjusted to use either 1.4 (5.3 L) or 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.

Your Kohler toilet with seat features our Comfort HeightTM design for

1038740-5-B 2 Kohler Co.

Your Kohler Toilet (cont.)

your added comfort. The elongated toilet bowl with seat is ADA

compliant.

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.

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

Care and Cleaning (cont.)

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

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 a mild

detergent such as dishwashing soap.

une performance, un style et une classe exceptionnels.

Ce W.C. Kohler a été conçu avec notre système de chasse Class 5TM,et

peut être ajusté pour n’utiliser seulement que 1,4 gallons (5,3 L) d’eau

ou 1,6 gallons (6 L) d’eau à chaque fois que la chasse est tirée. Ceci

assure que votre W.C. sera d’une performance exceptionnelle

comparable à celle des modèles antérieurs de 3,5 gallons (13,2 L). Votre

W.C. surpasse les exigences de la norme ASME pour les W.C. à faible

consommation d’eau. Il a été conçu avec un large siphon émaillé, pour

permettre aux déchets de circuler sans blocage.
