Your Kohler Toilet

Your Kohler toilet combines outstanding function, comfort, and

performance with remarkable style and class.

This Kohler toilet was designed to use only 1.4 gallons (5.3 L) or 1.1

(4.2 L) gallons 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:

Care and Cleaning

NOTE: See the special instructions before you clean Artist Edition

products.

For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your

Kohler product:

•Test First - Always test your cleaning solution on an

inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.

•Do Not Let Cleaners Soak - Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak

on the product.

•Avoid Abrasive Materials - Use a soft, dampened sponge or

cloth. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring

pad to clean surfaces.

Kohler Co. 3 1054184-5-A

Care and Cleaning (cont.)

•Wipe Clean - Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with

water immediately after applying cleaners. Rinse and dry any

overspray that lands on nearby surfaces.

Cleaning Your Vitreous China Toilet:

•Rinse thoroughly and use a soft cloth to wipe the product after

each use.

Care Tip: Over time hard water deposits may

clog toilet rim holes and trapways. To clean,

purchase a commercial cleaner that’s

recommended for the removal of hard water

deposits. Follow all instructions on the

package.

•Soft abrasive cleaners may be used when necessary to clean

vitreous china products. Strong abrasive cleaners will scratch and

dull the surface.

•Use toilet bowl cleaners on the inside of the bowl only.

•Do not use in-tank cleaners as they can damage the ﬂush valve or

other working parts.

•Wipe any splashes of cleaner solutions from plastic or plated

surfaces immediately.

•Consider using Scrub Free

Disinfectant Bathroom Cleaner,

Comet

Liquid Bathroom Cleaner, Soft Scrub

Multi Purpose,

and Tile Cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles

Cleaning Your Artist Edition Vitreous China Toilet:

•Rinse thoroughly and use a soft cloth to wipe the product after

each use.

Care Tip: To prevent scratching while cleaning,

save old T-shirts or ﬂannel nightgowns for

great cleaning cloths.

•Never use abrasive cleaners.

•Gold and platinum used on decorative products are like ﬁne

jewelry. Use only warm water to clean. Dry with a soft cloth.

•Do not let cleaners soak on surfaces.

•Rinse and wipe ﬁxtures after cleaning to prevent soap buildup.

•Consider using Glass Plus

or liquid dish soap with water.

Cleaning Your Toilet Seat

•Avoid abrasive cleaners, detergents, disinfectants or cleaning

products in aerosol cans.

1054184-5-A 4 Kohler Co.

Care and Cleaning (cont.)

Care Tip: Clean the seat with a mixture of

dishwashing liquid and water, or any of the

products listed for toilet seats, using a soft

sponge or cloth. Rinse clean, dry with a soft

towel, and let the seat air dry to ensure the

hinge area dries completely. If you remove the

toilet seat, consider the use of a large utility

sink to assist in cleaning.

•Do not allow abrasive chemicals and cosmetics (such as ﬁngernail

polish and aftershave) to come in contact with the toilet seat, as

they can damage the ﬁnish.

•Painted wood seats require special care and cleaning. Use only

mild detergent (such as dishwashing soap).

NOTICE: Failure to comply with these cleaning instructions may

void Kohler’s warranty obligations.

NOTE: Success with cleaners and procedures is dependent upon

such factors as the hardness and temperature of the water, using

exact quantities of ingredients, changes in cleaning formulas, and

the condition of the product being cleaned. Since there are variations

within these factors, Kohler cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the

formulas mentioned.

Operation

The vitreous china bowl and tank direct the ﬂushing water ﬂow, and

house the Pressure Lite system.

The vessel contains the complete operating cartridge assembly, and is

the container for the pressurized 1.4 gallons (5.3 L) (FM3 models) or

1.1 gallons (4.2 L) (FM4 models) of water used for each ﬂush.

The control components consist of the pressure regulator and the air

inducer. These components work with the incoming, pressurized,

supply-line water to provide a regulated pressure ﬂush to the toilet

bowl.

A complete ﬂush cycle is two separate functions.

When the trip lever is operated, the vessel plunger assembly is

pressed, allowing pressurized water to be directed to the bowl for

complete ﬂushing action. As the water level in the vessel drops the

plunger will close, stopping water ﬂow to the bowl.

A checkpoint built into the vessel assembly allows any discharge of

water into the vitreous china tank to drain directly into the bowl.

After ﬂushing, a charge cycle takes place. Supply line water ﬂows into

the vessel through the screen and pressure regulator. The water then

ﬂows across the air inducer, which mixes a small amount of air with

the water, ﬁlling the vessel until a pressure of approximately 35 psi (2.5

Kg/cm squared) is reached. The toilet will be ready for the next ﬂush

within 60 to 90 seconds. If the toilet is not ready for the next ﬂush

within that time, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Kohler Co. 7 1054184-5-A

Gap Clearance

If the toilet does not activate, the gap between the actuator and

the plunger arm may need to be reset. Make sure the trip lever

handle is installed, and the trip lever nut is tight. This is a

left-hand thread; turn counterclockwise to tighten.

Make sure the water supply is on, and the supply line water has

stopped ﬂowing into the toilet.

Loosen the setscrew. Turn the actuator until there is a 1/16″(2

mm) - 1/8″(3 mm) gap between the actuator and the plunger

arm. Turn the actuator clockwise to increase the gap.

Tighten the setscrew after the gap is properly adjusted.

NOTE: Loss of gap clearance adjustment could cause leakage into

the toilet bowl due to the plunger not sealing properly. This

condition could cause a continual ﬂow of water. If the problem is

not corrected after adjustment, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Winterizing Your Toilet

Turn off the water.

Drain the tank by ﬂushing. Press the actuator down for

approximately one minute to drain the water from the vessel

assembly.

Disconnect the water supply line to the toilet.

Remove the supply shank, and drain the water from the tank.

Press the actuator one more time, then pull the actuator up to

allow air into the vessel.

Add antifreeze to the toilet bowl water to prevent freezing. Use

recreational-type antifreeze commonly used in campers, motor

homes, and boats.

To restart the toilet, ﬁrst reconnect the water supply line to the

toilet. Then turn on the water supply, and let the system

pressurize for at least one minute.

Check for leaks, and retighten any leaking connections.
