make sure to have an alarm system or
telephone within reach in case of unforeseen
events (e.g. malfunctions).
– Before using, check the temperature of the
bath water.
Risk of Damage
Bath oils or salts can impair the performance of
the lifting scissors.

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 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.
8. Keep the Down button pressed until the backrest has
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.
The hand control can be hung on the hooks at the
backrest when not in use.
