2. Contraindications, Precautions and Warnings
We hope our product meets or exceeds your expectations. These Instructions for Use contain the information
users of the product need to know for its safe operation. In addition to the instructions for use, there is a
technical manual that describes the chair’s structure and which includes information of a more technical nature
and a spare parts list.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT.
The Hygiene Chair has a fixed battery that is charged via a connection in the remote control. The time required
for a discharged battery to reach an 80% charge is around 12 hours. The remote control has a charging
indicator that will show whether or not the battery needs to be charged. Make a habit of always charging the
battery if at the end of the day it has dropped to level 1 (one green bar on the battery indicator). If the Hygiene
Chair will not be used for a few days, we recommend switching off the battery by means of the Off button
located on the battery.
The Hygiene Chair also has a service indicator that lights up after around 11 months’ operation as a reminder
regarding the scheduled service that must be carried out at least once per year. Information about how to reset
the service indicator can be found in the technical manual.
The Hygiene Chair has a number of functions to enhance safety. When tilting forward or back, the chair will
always stop when the horizontal position is reached. The chair cannot be tilted forward if the seat height is
greater than 65cm. In order to raise the chair higher than 65cm, the seat must be horizontal or tilted to the
rear. It is not possible to use the chair while charging the battery.
Users will experience a soft start of around 5 seconds when the chair is raised or lowered. This is normal and
takes place in order to synchronize the two height adjustment actuators.
The Hygiene Chair is raised and lowered through telescopic pillars with built-in motors. The pillars have an
open design which allows water and dirt to run through internally. When necessary, clean the pillars and the
bottom surfaces with cleaning agent. The cleaning agents dissolve dirt and grease and break down any
organic substances. Rinse with water. Note that the pillar base plates are accessible for
mechanical cleaning.
Bear in mind the crush risk that is always present when hands and feet get in the way of chair movement,
especially when tilting forward or when the chair is lowered to its lowest level. Depending on the setting, the
foot rest may touch the floor or the chair frame.
Before you begin using your chair, the battery must be activated. Do this by pressing the battery ON button
(see section in these instructions for use).
