How to use Bathtub Cushion Seat?
Always inflate the bathing cushion and use the bathing cushion to lower into the bath. This allows the micro processor in the Airflo to calculate the required battery power to raise the Bathing Cushion and if it calculates that there would be insufficient power, it will not allow the hand control to operate the down function.
To get into the bath- With the bathing cushion in the bath, ensure that all 4 suction cups are adhering to the floor of the bath, fill the bath with water at a suitable temperature (Maximum 50°C/120°F).
- With the Bathing Cushion fully inflated, sit on the seat and then swing your legs into the bath.
- To maintain stability, ensure that you are seated centrally and right at the back of the seat so that you are touching the backrest.
Note: Do not sit further forwards, as you may slide off the front of the seat and sustain possible serious injury. - Select ‘Down’ to lower yourself into the bath. Keep your knees bent and feet flat on the floor of the bath as you are lowered so as to avoid sliding forwards on the seat. Hold the sides of the bath or grab handles for added support if required.
- You can stop at any time by releasing the ‘Down’ button. Note: you may find it more comfortable to leave a small amount of air in the Bathing Cushion, to cushion yourself on the bottom of the bath.
To get out of the bath- When you have finished bathing, place yourself in the upright seated position centrally and right to the back of the seat so that you are touching the backrest, with feet and knees drawn back Note: Partially inflating the Bathing Cushion will allow the backrest to inflate and assist you in sitting upright. Hold the sides of the bath for added support if required.
- Select ‘Up’ on the hand control when you are ready to get out of the bath.
- You can stop at any time by releasing the ‘Up’ button. Select ‘Up’ again to continue raising yourself. Keep inflating the Bathing Cushion until the relief valve blows; it will hiss. If necessary, hold onto the side of the bath or the grab handle to steady yourself as you are being raised. With the Bathing Cushion fully inflated, rotate your upper body and swing your legs over the side of the bath.

Routine cleaning- Drain the bath water and fully inflate the Bathing Cushion for cleaning whilst it is still in the bath. To clean between the seat and base sections, partially deflate the Bathing Cushion.
- All components can be cleaned with a proprietary non abrasive mild liquid cleaner or disinfectant. Always follow packaging instructions for using mild detergent products.
Note: Before using proprietary cleaners, always test on an inconspicuous area. - Use a soft cloth when cleaning.
- Do not wash the product in boiling water.
Important: Following cleaning and after each use, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap deposits. Wipe dry or leave to air dry. Never store the Bathing Cushion when it is wet or damp. It is recommended that the Bathing Cushion is left inflated in-between uses to allow air to circulate around it and reduce the risk of mould forming on the surface of the product. Do not leave in bright sun light. Do not dry using hot air.
Disinfection- The Bathing Cushion should be fully inflated and pre-cleaned by washing with detergent and water, thoroughly rinsed and then disinfected using a 1:10 solution of household liquid bleach and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts cold water).
- Leave the solution on the Bathing Cushion for approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off with clean cold water.
