This safety feature enables the inside of the bath to be
thoroughly cleaned without the need for the platform to be
manually held up, leaving the cleaner to use both hands.
To open the platform:

slightly (Hinge-stay will engage).

followed by step 3.

supportive backrest.
The backrest has been designed to offer a variation in
position for the bather to suit a variety of user needs.
Use of the backrest is dependent on the individual user
mobility and situation.
The backrest has three variable positions, adjustable for
bather comfort and height.
Adjusting the backrest is simple, lift the backrest free of the
