Need help?Do you have a question about the Kohler K-8298-CR-96 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Kohler C3™-455 is an elongated bidet toilet seat with a remote control, designed to enhance personal hygiene and comfort. This model, K-8298-CR, offers a comprehensive range of features for a luxurious and convenient bathroom experience.
The primary function of the C3™-455 is to provide advanced cleansing capabilities. It features front and rear wash modes, delivering warm water for thorough cleansing. The water temperature and pressure are adjustable, allowing users to customize their experience. For enhanced comfort, the bidet seat offers oscillating or pulsating spray options. A hybrid heater ensures a continuous supply of heated water, eliminating cold shocks during use.
Beyond cleansing, the seat incorporates several comfort and convenience features. It has a heated seat with five adjustable temperature settings, perfect for colder environments. An automatic deodorization system, equipped with a carbon filter, helps to neutralize odors. After cleansing, a warm-air drying system with adjustable temperature settings provides a gentle and efficient drying experience.
The C3™-455 also includes smart functionalities to maintain hygiene and ease of use. A self-cleaning function utilizes UV light to automatically sanitize the wand surfaces, ensuring optimal cleanliness. For nighttime convenience, LED lighting illuminates the toilet bowl, serving as a subtle nightlight. The seat is designed with Quiet-Close™ functionality, preventing slamming and ensuring a quiet bathroom environment. Grip-Tight bumpers keep the seat firmly in place, preventing shifting during use. For easy cleaning and maintenance, the Quick-Release™ functionality allows the seat to be removed effortlessly from the toilet. The seat itself is ergonomically contoured for maximum user comfort and is designed to fit most elongated toilets.
The C3™-455 is designed for intuitive and personalized use. It comes with a sleek, handheld remote control that allows users to easily access and adjust all functions. The remote includes two programmable user presets, enabling multiple users to save their preferred settings for water temperature, pressure, and spray type, ensuring a consistent and personalized experience with a single touch.
Users can select between front and rear wash modes, catering to different cleansing needs. The ability to adjust water temperature and pressure provides fine-tuned control over the cleansing intensity and comfort. The choice between oscillating and pulsating spray adds another layer of customization, allowing users to select their preferred sensation.
The heated seat offers five adjustable temperature settings, providing warmth and comfort, especially in colder climates. The warm-air drying system also has adjustable temperature settings, allowing users to choose their desired drying intensity. The LED nightlight feature is particularly useful for nighttime bathroom visits, providing subtle illumination without being overly bright.
Maintenance of the C3™-455 is simplified by several integrated features. The self-cleaning function, which uses UV light, automatically sanitizes the wand surfaces, reducing the need for manual cleaning and ensuring hygienic operation.
The Quick-Release™ functionality is a significant advantage for cleaning the toilet and the seat itself. This feature allows the seat to be easily detached from the toilet, providing unobstructed access to both the toilet bowl and the underside of the seat for thorough cleaning.
The automatic deodorization system, with its carbon filter, helps to maintain a fresh bathroom environment by neutralizing odors. While the manual does not specify filter replacement frequency, such systems typically require periodic filter changes to maintain effectiveness.
For installation, all necessary hoses and connections are included, simplifying the setup process. The product's durable plastic construction is designed for longevity and ease of cleaning.
It is crucial to install the product according to the provided installation instructions. The seat should be connected to a cold water supply of drinking quality water within the specified pressure range. It is important to avoid installing the seat in locations where water might splash on the product, or where excessive moisture, high humidity, or condensation is present, as this could damage the electronic components.
A dedicated electrical GFCI circuit is mandatory for safety.
