5.3 Bathing

WARNING Risk of slipping!

The bath lift can slip if the suction cups do not have a good
hold.
▸ Before using the bath lift ensure that it is securely positi-
oned and cannot tip
over.
▸ Ensure that the bath lift is set up in the bathtub
as described in Section 4.2.
WARNING

▸ If your condition means that you cannot take a bath on your
own, only use the device with supervision.
CAUTION

Bath oils or salts can impair the performance of the lifting
scissors.
▸ If using such bath additives, do not exceed the recommen-
ded 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 with the edge
of the bathtub.
2. Make sure that the side flaps are level with the seat and rest flat on
the edge of the bathtub.
3. Fill the bath with water.
4. Sit on the side flap nearest to you as you would on a chair.
5. Slide backwards until you are sitting in the middle of the seat.
6. Turn yourself into the bathing position, by lifting one leg and then
the other over the edge of the bathtub.
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
i
to recline the backrest by continuing to hold the Down but-
ton (D). This produces a
more comfortable bathing position and allows you to immerse
yourself deeper in the bathwater (not on model ORCA 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 the Up button (B) and
keep it pressed until it has reached the desired position.
