This document is an installation guide for the VICLEAN+ Electronic Bidet Seat, a product from Villeroy & Boch, powered by TOTO. It provides detailed instructions and precautions for installers, as well as information for the end-user.
The VICLEAN+ Electronic Bidet Seat is designed to be integrated with a toilet, offering advanced hygiene functions beyond a standard toilet. It provides a bidet function, which typically involves a water spray for cleansing. The "Electronic Bidet Seat" designation implies that it incorporates electronic controls for various features, likely including water temperature, water pressure, and nozzle position adjustments. The "VICLEAN+" branding suggests enhanced cleanliness and possibly self-cleaning features for the bidet nozzle or other components. The "Powered by TOTO" indicates that the core technology and possibly some of the advanced features are derived from TOTO, a well-known manufacturer of high-tech toilets and bidets, implying a focus on quality, innovation, and user experience.
The VICLEAN+ bidet seat is operated via a remote control (A-1). The installation guide shows steps for mounting this remote control on a wall, either beside the toilet or behind it, at a recommended height for easy access. The remote control allows users to activate and customize the bidet functions. The guide illustrates a "Hold down" action on the remote control, which might be used to activate a specific function or adjust a setting. The remote control's signal reception is checked during installation to ensure proper communication with the bidet seat.
The bidet seat itself is designed for comfortable use, with a lid (A-8) that can be opened and closed. The main unit (C-1) integrates the electronic components and the bidet nozzle. Water connections are crucial for its operation, providing water for the cleansing functions. Depending on the installation setup (with or without ViConnect), either one or two water connections are required. The electrical connection powers the electronic features, such as water heating and control mechanisms.
While the document primarily focuses on installation, some aspects hint at maintenance or user care. The "VICLEAN+" name itself suggests a focus on cleanliness, which often translates to features that simplify maintenance. For instance, many electronic bidet seats include self-cleaning nozzles or easy-to-remove components for thorough cleaning. The guide mentions that a small amount of water may remain inside the product from factory testing, which is not a problem, indicating a design that can handle residual water without issues.
The remote control (A-1) requires batteries (A-3), which will need to be replaced periodically. The guide also mentions an "anti-theft protection for the remote control" kit (A-5), which can be installed to secure the remote, preventing loss or theft, and thus indirectly contributing to the longevity and proper functioning of the system by ensuring the remote is always available.
For long-term non-use, such as in an unoccupied building, the installer is advised to switch the circuit breaker in the fuse box to OFF. This is a safety and energy-saving measure that also protects the device from potential electrical issues during extended periods of inactivity. The document also refers to a "separate sheet" for information on "How to dismount the main unit," indicating that the bidet seat is designed to be removable for maintenance, repair, or replacement, which is a key aspect of long-term serviceability. The use of a soft, damp cloth (B-4) is recommended for cleaning during installation, suggesting that gentle cleaning methods are appropriate for the product's surfaces.
