General Description
The Multibath SE is designed to be used in Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Residential Homes and
domestic properties.
The bath is used to assist carers in the bathing of a person who generally has some reduction
in mobility by raising and loweing the bath to a convenient height. The traversing seat allows
transfer in and out of the bath.
This user manual must be read throughly before use and we would recommend placing laminat-
ed user and safety instructions on the wall adjacent to the bath for the use of other carers/user.
Please ask Kingkraft if you would like copies.
Important Safety Instructions
WARNING!
ANY PERSON WHO IS INCAPABLE OF FULLY HELPING THEMSELVES MUST NEVER BE LEFT
ALONE IN THE BATH-EVEN FOR A SHORT WHILE
This manual contains information on the standard Multibath SE. Special bespoke baths by
Kingkraft may dier herein. Please contact Kingkraft if you have any queries on how to use your
product.
• Do not stand on or in the product at any time
• Provisions must be made to be able to remove the user from the bath safely in case of emer
gency or power failure. This must be feasable when the bath is in any of its raised positions.
(i.e a mobile hoist incase the ceiling track hoist fails.)
• Kingkraft products are intended for domestic and commercial use only
• Do not exceeed the maximum weight load specied (133kg/21st)
• Only one person should be in the bath at one time
• Only Kingkraft manufactured accessories have been tested by Kingkraft for safe use with this
bath under normal conditions of use
• The bath is tted with a handset, this should not be submerged in the water, if this happens
to fall in, quickly wipe it dry and seek further advice if unsure
• Your Multibath SE should have been tted at a safe distance from the wall to avoid trapping,
however always unsure that all limbs, head, ngers and toes are not on the outside of the
bath when it’s in motion
• When the seat is in use, always ensure that the person is securely seated and that they are
sat properly in the seat with their legs in front of them and that they are being watched at all
times
• Always check the temperature of the water before placing a person in the bath, this should
be ideally done with a calibrated thermometer
• Be aware when using bubble baths or foaming products, these can excessively froth, never
leave anyone unattended as there is a risk of drowning
• Never place anything or anyone underneath the bath - doing so could cause damage to
persons or the electronic mechanisms on the bath

• Be careful when removing the bath seat on the Multibath SE as this is extremely heavy
and will require at least two people to lift
RISK OF SCALDING Although safety devices are tted to minimise any risk of scalding, users
must be aware that these are not fail safe. The temperature of the unit must be independent-
ly veried on each occasion it is used-this should be tested, ideally with a calibrated ther-
momemeter.
Refer to Kingkraft if the water is too hot or too cold and do not used until the problem has been
corrected.

Cushions
Kingkraft oer a range of supports and cushioning to make bathtime more relaxing. Seperate
instructions will be enclosed with your cushioning, however please see below information on
how to safely use your cushions.
Our cushions are made from PCV and foam ller or polysterene beads. Ensure that no person
is allergic to these materials before use.
There is a risk of oating, therefore please ensure that the cushions and supports are securely
fastened to the bath before use.
• Ensure that the bath bottom and mattresses/suckers are clean
• Place cushions/supports securely onto base/side of bath
• Run a small amount of water into the bottom of the bath
• Press the cushions/supports rmly onto the bath
Do not use any oil based bathing products as this could aect the suckers sticking to the bath.
When removing the cushions/supports, take care that each sucker is prised carefully away from
the bottom/side of the bath to avoid a tearing action. If the cushion rips around the suckers this is
not covered under any manufacturing warranty and you will be charged to replace it. Make sure
you clean your cushions and supports regularly.

reason you need to move your bath or re-install, installation guides are available from King-
kraft. Kingkraft are able to carry out removal and re-installs for you, please contact us for fur-
ther advice.
Units with electrical service must only be wired in accordance with the IEE wiring regulations,
especially as regards zoning and equipotential bonding. Kingkraft products are intended for
operation only in a bathroom type location where exposed mains connections and unsealed
switches are etc, are not permitted.

Seperate instructions regarding installation and connections is available from Kingkraft, please

Maintenance
Your Multibath SE comes with a 2 year manufacturing warranty, this is for labour and parts only.
Kingkraft recommend an annual service on the Multibath SE.
In addition to this, under LOLER regulations, a LOLER test should be done every 6 months on
this bath. Kingkraft can carry out both of these services, please get in touch to nd out further
information.
Fault Finding: If your bath is not going up and down but making a ‘beeping noise’
• Firstly check that the power supply has not been turned o to the bath.
• To check whether there is power, if possible and is safe to do so, remove the panels o the
bath and check whether there is a green light on the control box. Alternatively, if you know
where the main power source is for the bath, check that is not turned o
• If there is a green light, refer back to the instructions on how to operate the bath-ensuring
the seat and bath are in correct positions for operations.
• If your bath is still not going up and down and have you done all the checks, contact King
kraft for further advice.
Cleaning
Do not use any cleaning agents that contain bleach or other corrosives as this can cause stai-
ing and can invalidate the warranty. Use only water, normal soaps and approved cleaning
agents. We recommend using Chemgene which can be purchased via Kingkraft.
If your bath is tted with any cushions or supports, these should be removed ideally after each
use to ensure that no soap scum has built up underneath. If these are left in the bath for a
length of time, mould can quickly build up which can cause damage to health.

Cleaning the whirlpool (if tted)
It is important the whirlpool is cleaned regularly, if you are in a Multi-user environment then this
should be done after each use. Please follow the below guidelines on how to clean your whirl-
pool eciently.
• Remove all cushions and supports in the bath (if applicable)
• Rinse any debris from the bath
• Close drain by operating the pop-up waste
• Fill the bath with water to a level of 25mm (1”) above the whirlpool jets
• Put the whirlpool cleaner in (we recommend the Bronte Whirlpool 6 month care pack, but
you can pick up whirlpool cleaners from most hardware stores)
• Follow the instructions on the packet
• Run whirlpool for 15 minutes (this may dier to whichever cleaner you’re using)
• Drain bath
• Fill bath with clean water to measurements stated
• Run whirlpool for 5 minutes
