The standard Easibath has a mains electrical connection to power the lifting mechanism and whirlpool
system (if fitted). There is a risk of electrocution if any wires become damaged and a potential fire risk
if the mechanisms fail and overheat. Your bath should only be used if any powered equipment on it
(eg. Whirlpool, raise/lower system etc.) is connected to a suitable power supply protected by an earth
leakage circuit breaker. The electrical requirements are contained in the pre-installation instructions
available from Kingkraft. Test the earth leakage circuit breaker which supplies power to your bath
regularly (at least once a week), and if you are in any doubt about its operation, consult a qualified
electrician before using the bath.
WARNING
If thermostatic mixer valves are fitted, please refer immediately to the manufacturer if the water is too
cold or too hot and do not use the bath until the problem is corrected.
If conventional hot and cold taps are fitted, please ensure that the bath water is fully mixed by hand (if
cool enough) or mixer paddle to a safe temperature, prior to using the bath. WARNING! With no
thermostatic valve attached there is the danger of scalding!
Certain bath additives may damage the bath, if they contain bleach or other corrosives. Use only
water, normal soaps and approved cleaning agents. If in doubt, please contact Kingkraft for advice
about the suitability of the additives you wish to use. Kingkraft recommend Chemgene.
Under no circumstances must acid or bleach based cleaners be used. To do so invalidates your
guarantee. We recommend that your Kingkraft Bath should be cleaned with Chemgene which is
available from us. See the section on cleaning below for instructions on how to safely clean your unit.
If your unit has any electrical controls, switch off the supply at the wall isolator (mains units) or
disconnect and remove the battery pack (battery units only) before attempting any maintenance,
including cleaning.
Do not use pressurised water jets to clean the bath and keep water jets away from the controls,
pumps and the bath chassis when cleaning around the bath. Do not steam clean.
If your Easibath is fitted with a whirlpool hydrotherapy system, use only low foaming bath additives.
Normal bubble baths will froth excessively with whirlpools and must not be used as they pose a
serious risk of drowning / suffocation / asphyxiation to the user and many cause damage to property.
Do not attempt maintenance unless the bath is empty.
Check the Easibath frequently for damage, especially the mains lead and earth wire. If you find signs
of damage, do not use the bath and contact Kingkraft as soon as possible to arrange for service and
repair.
RISK OF SCALDING
Although safety devices can be fitted as an option to minimise any
risk of scalding, users must be aware that these are not
necessarily fail safe. The temperature of the water in the bath
MUST BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED ON EVERY OCASION it
is used and before an incapacitated person comes into contact
with the water. Ideally a calibrated thermometer should be used.
Please check if your bath specification includes for these mixer
valves.
