HOW TO USE THE SHOWER STOOL
The shower stool consists of a seat cushion,
four stool legs, and two side frame elements.
The tubular armrests of the side frame ele-
ments act as supports when sitting down on
and getting up from the shower stool. They
help you to lower yourself slowly and in a
controlled fashion onto the chair by support-
ing yourself with both hands on the top of
the two tubular armrests. When seated, the
side frame elements provide you with support
on both sides. You can also place your arms
on them and hold onto them for support (Fig.
6).
1. Place the shower stool in the shower.
2. Sit down on the dry seat surface. For support,
you can grab onto the middle of the tubular
armrests from above (Fig. 6).
3. To get up, grab onto the middle of both tubu-
lar armrests from above and get up slowly
and in a controlled fashion.
WARNING
Tipping danger: Always use both tubular arm-
rests simultaneously for support, otherwise there
is a risk of tipping over to the side.
Danger of slipping: Do not allow any oily or
highly soapy substances to come into contact
with the rubber feet, as this may cause the show-
er stool to slip away.
Danger of falling off: Avoid extreme body
movements on the stool, as this may cause you
to fall off the stool.
