The Contour bath is a height adjustable bath that is to be used in establishments such as Care
Homes, Hospitals and private homes.
The bath is designed primarily as an assisted bathing bath incorporating a fold-down side for
easy access and variable height function to assist carers and transfer from wheelchairs.
The fold side also allows the Contour to be used as a general changing table and showering
platform.

safety risk to the user and potentially cause damage to surrounding ttings. It is essential
that a low foaming bubble bath mixture is used and no one is left in the bath unattended at
any time.
Please refer to cleaning instructions on how to keep your whirlpool clean.

Cushion and Supports
Kingkraftoerarangeofsupportsandcushioningtomakebathtimemorerelaxing.Separate
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.

•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
your cushion and supports are cleaned regularly.

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, check underneath the bath
to see 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 your bath is still not going up and down and have you done all the checks, contact Kingkraft
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
