Easibath backrests do not as standard have suckers attached to them. These sit on top of the base
mattress as standard, and the back of the backrest ‘hooks’ under the lip of the top panel of the
Easibath tub end.
Knee Rests are provided with suckers for attachment directly to the bath tub base. They must not be
placed on any other material such as another mattress, the suckers will not secure the support
properly / safely.
The Bathing Process
Before using the bath / the bather getting into the bath, the water should be turned on as described
below and allowed to flow into the bath with the pop-up waste(s) open to allow any cold water to flow
away. This process should be continued until the water temperature is perceived to be constant. This
operation will allow the mixed water temperature to increase to the required level (if the mixer valve
option is specified) and permit the carer and/or user to check that the maximum temperature is safe
prior to the bather entering the bath. If the water temperature does not achieve a comfortable level
there may be a fault and the bath should not be used until the fault is rectified. Turn off the water, and
allow any residual water in the bath to drain. If the temperature achieved was satisfactory, the bath is
now ready for filling. Close the pop-up waste by operating the push-pull lever or depress the plug itself
depending on which type is fitted.
