WARNING!
– If your condition means that you cannot take
a bath on your own, only use the device with
supervision.
– If operating the device without supervision,
make sure to have an alarm system or
telephone within reach in case of unforeseen
events (e.g. malfunctions).
CAUTION!
Bath oils or salts can impair the performance of
the lifting scissors.
– If using such bath additives, do not exceed the
recommended dose.
IMPORTANT!
– Run the unloaded lift once to the top and then
back to the bottom (function test).
– Before using, check the temperature of the
bath water.
1. Press and hold the Up button B until the seat is level

3. Fill the bath with water.
4. Sit on the side flap nearest to you as you would on a
chair.

7. Once you are sitting correctly, press the Down button D
and hold it down to lower the seat into the bathtub.
Once the seat has reached the lowest position, it
is possible to recline the backrest by continuing to
hold the Down button D. This produces a more
comfortable bathing position and allows you to
immerse yourself deeper in the bath water (not on
model F).
8. Keep the Down button pressed until the backrest has
reached the desired position.
To get out of the bathtub, following these steps in
reverse order.
9. To raise the backrest or the bath lift, press and hold the
Up button B until the seat is at the same level with
the bathtub edge.
IMPORTANT!
– Disconnect the hand control from the device
when the bath lift is not in use, see section 5.2
Removing the bath lift, page 18, step 3.
