2. Make sure that the side flaps are level with the seat and
rest flat on the edge of the bathtub (initial position).
3. Fill the bathtub with water.
4. Sit on the side flap nearest to you as you would on a
chair.

the seat.

and then the other over the edge of the bathtub.
7. Once you are sitting correctly, press and hold the Down
button 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. This produces a more comfortable
bathing position and allows you to immerse yourself
deeper in the bath water (not on model F).

reached the desired position.
To get out of the bathtub, follow these steps in
reverse order.
9. To raise the backrest or the bath lift, press and hold
the Up button until the seat is at the same level with
the bathtub edge.
