How to use the Clos-o-Mat

The Palma Vita provides flushing, washing and warm air drying from one simple operation. It is user-friendly for people who have restricted use of their hands. By reducing hand contact, it also provides improved hygiene for all users.

To use the toilet without automatic washing and drying:-
Whilst standing, just press either of the push pads situated on the left and right of the cistern and the Clos-o-Mat will flush in the conventional manner.

To initiate the automatic washing and drying facilities:-
Sit upright on the toilet. Your weight will ensure that the seat is depressed. Press either of the pads with your elbow and the toilet will flush, as the douche arm extends and warm water washing will begin. Simultaneous flushing and washing is a feature unique to Clos-o-Mat that reduces risks of infection. Keep the pad depressed until the water is running cool. This will take appoximately 15 to 20 seconds. Now release pressure on the pad. Washing with cool then cold water will continue for as long as the pad is depressed.

The douche arm will retract back into the toilet bowl and you will sense the warm air drying your body. This continues for about three minutes.

Clos-o-Mat can be supplied with a back bar, attached in such a way that it enables the cistern-mounted pads to be depressed simply by leaning back against it. Alternatively, the toilet operation can be controlled through a touch-sensitive hand or foot operated switch.
